Here's a recent picture of Heather and Mark Rolfes. Mark is an industrial arts teacher in Birch Hills. He has used his expertise in this field to build two houses and renovate another one since moving to Birch Hills. They now live on an acreage a few miles from town.
Have a very Happy Birthday, Mark, as you join the forties gang!

We are also remembering our dear friend Pearl, who would have celebrated her 86th birthday today. Here's a picture taken of her and baby Ashley on one of our last visits at her place. Pearl died suddenly in July 2008 just a few days after celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Grimsrud farm and her 83rd birthday. Blessed be her memory.
