Bergman Family: I was sorry to hear of Mr. Bergman's passing. I met him in the late 50's, when I became friends with April at Stewart Jr. High. I'd walk over to the house on Saturdays and he'd be sitting there with the boys and Mrs. Bergman watching television, or outside tinkering around with something. He was always pretty quiet, but he didn't miss much! April and I would never be able to get away with anything around him!
I will keep the family in my thoughts and prayers. Helen (Wallace) Arnestad
