A few years ago Frode, and his wife Lillian, left their house in the suburb of New Hope and moved into an OFH in Minnetonka. That home is operated by Ebenezer Society. As Frode and I compared notes it seems we had similar situations.
Frode, one day, met a new resident who's name is Marilyn. In conversation Frode mentioned that he was originally from North Dakota. That prompted Marilyn to say she grew up in South Dakota. Frode, "I only know one person from South Dakota, Al Negstad." Marilyn, "I know him." 😁
Out of the Marines and back at Augustana College in the early sixties I was part of a young adult group in First Lutheran, the College and Career Club. Marilyn, a recent Augustana grad was teaching in Sioux Falls and also active in that group. Gene, her husband to be, also was in the group and he was a pastor in central South Dakota. So that's how Marilyn could say "I know him." It's a small world if you're a Lutheran in Minnesota.
Takk for alt,

While we were anchored in Hong Kong Harbor boys would row out to the ship and dive for coins we threw in the water.
