Another rumor has come to fruition. As expected, time, and someone, has
given to rumor credence. The "rumor" that Walsh County District Attorney
Sharon Martens had resigned and would be moving to Minnesota turned
fact, for the Gazette at least, with the note I received yesterday from
Sharon herself.
She wrote. >>>
Subject: Your Characterization
Gary,
I could not help but note your characterization of my resignation as
State's Attorney today. I am leaving to take a job in Minnesota doing
the same thing I am now. So the temperature of the water will not
change, only the environment surrounding it.
I moved to Grafton in 1947 and graduated from high school
here. I had a business and a law practice here and my parents had a
long term business here. I have contributed to this community and
worked hard for it in the past 35 years whether as a councilperson,
mayor, or state's attorney. I wish it and you well.
Sharon Martens <<< Thanks a million for caring and sharing Sharon. I
hadn't heard the part about moving to Minnesota to become a States
Attorney.
I must also apologize if my "babble" (Characterization) was
interpreted as anything other than amusing. The reference to watching
those in hot water, was directed at the States Attorney's responsibility
of guarding the public from those the break the law (hence,.. those in
hot water.)
I wish you well Sharon, in your new found Minnesota endeavor.
++++++++
Paul DeSautel sent the following note yesterday after hearing of "the
rumor". >>> If it is that time for Sharon (Wilson) Martens to "pull the
plug" and retire, I can only wish my grade school classmate well. She
has served the community well.

The mention of Ma Lerud always seems to bring back memories. Ralph sent
us the following. >>> Ma's monster burger with made everyday homemade
buns, fresh red potato French fries, the best mac salad in the world,
and a chocolate milk shake (the real kind). What a great after supper
snack that made for us around 10 p.m., Gary. Ralph Kingsbury <<< Thanks
for caring and sharing Ralph. Ma's onion rings could easily rival
Whitey's as well.

I received the following note from Ole Aasand about the Happy Chandler
celebration. He wrote;
Dear Gary:
After reading Harvey's story on Chandler Field, about the outfield.
Reminded me of a infield story.
The night before the big game it had rained and the next days problem,
how to get the field dry before game time. Potato blight was a problem
that year. My brother Jeep & I had leased a 3 row potato vine killer,
with a hood over each row, fired by diesel oil & a power take off driven
fan. We brought it onto the outfield and fired it up. With a harrow and
the blower, the field was ready by game time. The noise attracted a lot
of people's attention, as it sounded like 3 jet engines.
Ole Aasand <<<
Thanks a million for caring and sharing Ole. Aren't memories wonderful?

I would like to share some good news regarding our local service men and
women. A close friend of ours, Richard Schmuck of Grafton, has been
serving in Afghanistan for about 6 months now. Last week, he and his
crew hit a IED (improvised explosive device) that blew the front of the
vehicle right off. Richard was thrown from the vehicle. Thanks to GOD he
survived, but his arm is broken in three places. He is on his way back
to the states to receive medical treatment, hopefully he will come home
to Grafton to recuperate before serving the rest of his tour of duty.
Richard and his wife Alane (Dosmann) have three children. Please keep
their family in your thoughts and prayers. <<<
Thanks a million for caring and sharing Lisa. Rich is not only a
"shirttail" relative, (by marriage) he's a former American Crystal Sugar
harvest employee. We hope his injuries mend well, and soon.

With the weatherperson calling for fantastic walleye harvesting
weather. I better get the walleye combine out and make a few rounds
before the lake stiffens up.

GOTTA GO WORK ON MY DASH

The only way I know you are receiving the Gazette, is if you tell me.
Write if you can, call if you can't, and, tell your loved ones they are,
