L O C A L news & stuff,.. mostly stuff.

It looks like the rumor about the Pay Day Loan operation moving from a
phone booth to a castle is true. Proof positive, I guess, that when you
borrow money to the right people,... at the right time, you will end up
in a castle.

Hi Gary, Keep up the good work my friend. I just thought I
would share about the passing of the last member of the team from
Grafton that won the state A title in 1935. Lloyd Everson died two
weeks ago in Arizona. He was the last member of that great team. He was
90. He was a wonderful man. My dad, told me Lloyd and Ted Whalen were
the keys to winning the title. Those two told me that my dad was the
real leader and the key to their success. Gene-O Swartz was there
to see them win, so he would be the one to ask about that great team.
Lloyd was the president of the H.E. Everson Company, for many years. He
was also president of a life insurance company. He built and lived
in the home in Eastwood that Kingsbury's now own. He was mayor of
Grafton for several years, before moving to Bismark. My dad always
said if you wanted to visit with Gov. Guy all you had to do was go over
to the Eversons. Lloyd had a wonderful life and will be missed by
everyone that had the chance to know him. Thanks Gary, John
Maxwell <<< Thank you for caring and sharing John. If I may be so bold,
that team consisted of James Maxwell (Johns father) & Paul Johnson,
Guards; captain & forward, Lawrence LaBerge; Lloyd Everson & Orrin
Homme, guards; Ted Whalen, Helge Hogfoss & William Field, forwards; Don
Numedahl, center and Leo Schweinfurt, coach. It should also be noted
that the 1934 team won the state class B title.

Heritage Village.
++++++++++++++++
The other day I mentioned how great it would be if some wonderful
individual would be willing to "donate" 40 or 50 scrumptious Walleye
dinners to the folks in the rest home. IT IS A FACT, I thought then, and
I think now, that would be a wonderful gesture. Within minutes,... I
received the following note. >>>>
I can't donate 40 or 50 dinners but if it helps I'll donate two since
my husband and I can't attend.
Check is in the mail on Friday made out to you if you will take
care of this for me. Please do this anonymously. Thanks. <<<
I have already received that check, and, it will go toward the
purchase of two Walleye dinners. Of course I will also honor the request
that the individual remain anonymous. I will however suggest, if a
person living on the other side of the country, a person that has never
even seen the Sunset Home is willing to buy two tickets,... surely there
are a lot more folks out there that would be willing to do the same.
Just drop me a note, tell me how many Walleye Dinners you would like to
donate and "it will be done". Oh yes, then be sure you don't forget to
put the check in the mail.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
