teve Nelson and I were among those who attended the funeral for Myles Thorstad in Chokio on July 7th, I also attended his visitation at the funeral home on the 6th. His daughter in law was my dad’s home health care nurse for a number of years, enroute home from the funeral I stopped in Alberta to say goodbye to Kermit Lange who is moving to Montana

Elroy Frank informs me that he has now moved his wife to the Knute Nelson home in Alex.

In last week’s column it was implied that Dec 31st was the last day you could visit Mark Koepke here, however that was an editing error by the paper, he is still here and will be until he finds another place to live, so feel free to come by and visit him anytime, or give him a call here. If all goes as planned we will have him moved down here by the time you read this.               
   
Lou Eystad had surgery on her shoulder on Jan 7th ; I ran into Jim in the salvation army store on the 9th he said she was doing ok just tired.
