Ernie & family, So sorry to hear of your loss. I remember you both well when we lived close to you in our younger days. One time the kids and I came to get potatoes from you with a sled and we all ended up in a pile when we decided to slide down the road past Russ and Darlene's. Didn't get hurt though. Guess Rich and I were still kids then. I'm living in Central MN now, retired and taking care of my home which keeps me busy. Rich is in Park Rapids, married to Linda now and they run an antique shop. Our son's, Craig, Les & Joel are well and busy. Hope you're recovering from your grief.New London, MN 12/14/2009 6:37 AM
