Art Rude Memories
From Allen Richard (’65):   Midland, MI.
 
I was maybe 3 yrs old when I met Art Rude Sr,  It was at the post office.  He made a small child love him.  That child is 66 and still loves him.  All my love and best wishes to you, Art— (Rudie the bald headed teacher — I helped write that)

Gary,

My brother in law, Jack Sjol is missing from his home as of Wed. April 24 sometime in the evening from what we can gather.  There is evidence to suggest a possible homicide.  I am attaching a poster just in case anyone happens upon some information.  We are hopeful but still want landowners, farmers, ranchers, oil workers to check their surroundings for anything that looks out of the ordinary and take a moment to investigate it.  There is  a statewide investigation underway.  We appreciate all the love and support shown to our family at this time.  Thanks.

Diane Larson Sjol

Gary:   I have to agree with Evie.   Our Aunt Cora & Uncle Roland lived
on a farm up in the hills.  I stayed with them one summer in the very
early 40’s.
It could have been a gathering of area people or she was a guest, but I
believe #8 is her.

Gary and Friends,

        Evie brought up a good point about why her aunt Cora Boucher
Mongeon would be in the picture with what is believed to be a Lutheran
Ladies group?  I wonder if the picture could actually be a group of
ladies at a area Homemakers group that was common in those days.  I
heard long ago that Roland Mongeon lived west of Butte St. Paul when he
was young and newly married.  My Grandpa Henry Olson’s sister,  Gladys
Olson Iverson is in the picture on the far right and is listed as #12.Â
She and Ingvold Iverson,  her husband,  lived along the foothills west
of Butte St. Paul also, leading me to believe it could have been maybe a
social gathering rather than a church group.  Just a speculation on my
part.  Thanks Gary!

Dick
