The river level thru town continues to recede. All of Grafton's
city employees are busy cleaning up last winters accumulation of sand
from city streets.
Everyone seems to agree, Grafton did do what needed to be done to
protect the city from the ravages of flood.
John shared the following thoughts regarding this springs efforts.
He wrote >>>> I totally agree. The city did a wonderful job keeping
us dry from this year's tough floods. They surly deserve our thanks. I
hope wisdom prevails and almost all the new dikes are allowed to stay in
place. We should not be paying every year to put them in place again.
John <<<<
Thanks a million for caring and sharing John. The Maxwell's
live next to the dike along the Park River just south of Graftons most
recognized residence known as Elmwood. I should also add that the
Maxwell's displayed their appreciation to the dike walkers this year by
setting up a "refreshment station" on the dike beside by their home.
Because, according to the dike walkers I talked to, that's just the kind
of folks the Maxwell's are. And, to that I couldn't agree more.

Additional evidence that Rich Lapp will not be forgotten is
provided by Tara as she shares the following thoughts. >>>>
Good morning Gary. I just read your note about Rich and I
couldn't agree more. I was lucky enough to have Richie Roo as my first
boss. He cared so deeply about all of his customers and I could always
sense how much he was respected and loved by them! He taught me so many
things: how to count back money, how to treat a customer, how to wrap a
present (yep it was Rich himself who taught me) and many more valuable
life lessons. He whistled a certain tune that I will never forget, he
gave me the nickname TaraBelle and if I was ever to complain his comment
would be "that's too bad about you." I know everyone has many great
memories of Rich, I just wanted to share mine.
Tara Halvorson <<<<
Thanks a million for caring and sharing Tara. "The wonderful
memories left behind in our mind, will live on in our hearts forever."

Our good friend Richard Thompson has experienced more than his
share of adversity this winter. Rarely is there a conversation, around
town, that doesn't include a query regarding Richard. I am please to
share the following update from Richards son Chris on his latest medical
venture
Hi Gary,
We made the trip from Ft Meyers to Little Rock, it went very well. Dad
started his orientation and testing today (monday) to figure out the
avenue to proceed on for treatment. I would like to thank everyone for
their cares and concerns, it makes a person realize how fortunate we are
to live in a town like Grafton, and to have great friends and neighbors.
Oh by the way the patients spirits are good and he is excited about
being here and anxious to get better.
Chris Thompson <<<< Thanks a million for caring and sharing Chris. Rest
assured that everyone back home is thinking about Richard and including
him in our prayers.

waiting for your stimulus check.

Subject: Dr Midgarden
Gary,
Just writing to let you know, would you put a note in your email
letter about it.
Dr. Kristi Midgarden has opened her own practice 5 days a week in
Park River at the Ye' Old Medicine Shop, Monday thru Friday 8 to 5.
Amy Suda is there 4 days a week. Great to have Dr. Midgarden here
instead of Grand Forks. Nice to have local professionals in our
communities.
