On June 4th, Dale and Lois Solberg invited some of Dale’s classmates and others in the area to an evening of reminiscing. It was a fun evening, we enjoyed something new, salmon salad in lefsa and coffee and cookies. We ended the evening by Chuck Damschen playing the guitar and singing songs from an earlier era that we had enjoyed.

The original musical “Them orphans” written and directed by Joni Haglin was presented Sunday, February 21, at Zoar Free Lutheran Church in Hampden. Them orphans, played by Erin and Chris Morstad, bring this small town to the realization that there is more to Christianity than building a new church and bringing a Reverend, played by Jim Berg, into town. As the wild West has become more populated, crime has abounded and Sheriff Pete, played by Clyde Myers, has hired a new deputy, sharp shotting’ Sam played by Cassandra Haglin. Everyone enjoyed the excitement, fun, frolic and music. As the story unfolded you met the remaining town folks including Blacksmith Eddy (Dave Haugen), the Swenson family: Millie (Elizabeth Berg) her daughter, Heidi (Clarinda Haglin) and her son, Carter (Harvey Haglin), Mrs. Ferguson (Gabie Damschen) and her daughter, Hattie Mae, (Brenna Logie), Miss Foster (Kaisa Morstad), Mrs. Benson (Laurie Morstad), Cordelia (Lois Myrvik), Selmer Jacobs (Brad Myrvik), Seth (Ordale Morstad) and Sally (Hannah Morstad). They gave the presentation at two performances on that day. There was a very good crowd and they did an excellent job. thank you to each one of you.

These photos have been gathered from all sources possible.
If I have incorrectly identified something or someone, or if you have a photo you would like seen on this page, email it to me. Some of the corrections from the Diamond Jubilee book can’t be made because the captions were incorrectly identified and printed with the picture in the actual book. These are the photos with the captions connected to the actual image. There are apparently a number of errors, as I’ve received a lot of emails, but they cannot be fixed.
