Condolence to Florence Christianson Williams Struck
From Erling Landsverk (’44): King, WS
Hi Gary and everyone:
I was saddened to learn of Florence Strucks passing. She and my sister Borghild Landsverk were close friends in elementary school at Loon Lake school and remained in contact with each other untill my sister Borghild Landsverk Passed in 2011. She was a very attractive girl as was her sister Bernice who was my 8th grade teacher. I believe all of the Christianson girls became teachers, and I knew them all as well as Clarence. The christianson family was a great family and a credit to our little community in the Turtle mountains. I will always remember Florence and her family as a time filled with happy memories. The terrible typhoon that wreacked such havoc in the Phillipines filled me with sadness, since Tacloban and Cebu City and Manila are all familiar to me. I served all of my over seas duty in the Phillipines, and also expeerienced a couple of typhoons. However they did not compare to this last storm that cost so many lives and destruction. I knew the Phillipine people to be strong resilient and determined as I witnessed their determination to recover after the war and the horrible occupation by the cruel Japanese forces. I know the Lord is there to help those great people and they will come through this as well. Erling Landsverk

Reply JFK
From Marlys Hiatt (’71): Dunseith, ND
I also think of where I was the day I learned President Kennedy had been
shot. I was in the 5th grade at the Dunseith Elementary School. We were
just coming into Mrs. Flynn’s room from recess and Mrs. Flynn told us the
President was dead. I remember being shocked and stopping in my tracks.
I can still picture Mrs Flynn and where I was in reference to her. It
must have been a wet day outside because the only other thing I remember
is how muddy the floor was.
I am amazed at how young I was and yet the number of things I remember
about the election in 1960, the presidency, and the assassination. There
must have been something wrong with me way back then. Good Grief
I really liked those pictures from the mall. Everyone looked so happy.
Now the bowling buddies are a little more serious.

Marlys,
You have a nice way with words. That bowling alley picture was kind a mug shot. Although Art and Larry looked a lot better than me. Next time Art and I are together, we will get a better one for posting.

Another picture that Novie and Mirasol took of Bernadette in the Cebu Ayala Mall. They had a fun day.
