My cousin, Frank, and I attended annual Lag meetings throughout the Midwest up until he moved to Florida. We covered many miles in those journeys and enjoyed learning the history of our Norwegian ancestry. We enjoyed the tours and viewing places where the early settlers lived. How fortunate it was for me to have had this wonderful cousin who shared an interest in family history and the culture of the indigenous and all peoples. Good travels in your next journey and God's peace til we meet again -- Alice (Rudrud) Alderman
