In order to keep some things from getting on the google worldwide I will use first names only. I read a couple of books recently that I have really enjoyed. "Making the Blue Plate Special" subtitled The Joy of Family Legacies by Florence Littauer, Marita Littauer, Lauren Littauer Briggs prompted me to get in touch with a couple of people that have touched my life and probably some of you guys as well. I wrote a letter to Dick and Bette and Les and Marlyn. Dick and Bette are still in their apartment in the downtown area of Duluth. I found Les and Marlyn in an apartment on Haines Rd. by looking in Dex Knows. Of course until they respond I won't know if they are all alive. I wrote to these folks by snail mail (what in the world is that?) first and will contact them by phone if they don't respond. One thing I wanted to know from Dick and Bette is if anyone has done any genealogy on Dad's side of the family. I wanted to thank both families for their impact on our young lives.
Anyone want to respond about their experiences, memories? I will let you know if any if them call or write back.

Speaking of genealogies, I have a box of really old "Stynsberg" photos sitting in the garage. I'm talking photos from the 20's and 30's of people I bet nobody knows. Anybody want them?
First of all, I am anonymous on the party comment. My password wasn't accepted..I tried it three times and gave up.
Les and Marlyn called me. We had a wonderful conversation. When we all get together I'll let you know how they are doing. Les and Marlyn are in good health and very active in their late 80's. I haven't heard from Dick and Bette yet but may try to call them soon.
Ralph and I visited his mom on Saturday. Before we left town we visited Les and Marlyn. It was a great time of catching up. I had written to them last week, updating them on all of you. Steve, Les and Marlyn do volunteer work at St. Luke's hospital. In a discussion with some volunteers, the ladies play bridge. Then they began talking about their teacher Steve Lindstrom. They were very complementary!
I had already spoken to Dick and Bette on the phone that afternoon. Dick was very complementary as well. I quote Dick, "Steve is very well thought of in this part of the country." We had a great time catching up with these folks. We probably hadn't spoken with Les and Marlyn since Mom passed away.
