Elmer and Melva Sogard

Since Melva was kind enough to share many pictures for this blog, here is a short tribute to them. They currently reside in a very nice apartment in Williston - and seem to be getting along reasonably well. The pictures include one from a double date with Carol and Irvin Jacobson along with a current picture taken during my visit in August of 2007. The 1934 basketball team is also shown with an individual shot of Elmer. And lastly, an aerial shot of their dear farm northeast of Alamo. The house was moved to Williston and now stands northwest of town.

Thanks for the pictures, David. We appreciate your efforts in keeping this blog going. It is great seeing the pictures from years past. I always thought that the Sogard farm was in such a beautiful location. I'm happy to see that Elmer and Melva are well and enjoying their new home in Williston. I remember a slumber party that Susan had at the farm and we slept outside under the trees.I don't remember sleeping but we were in the trees but what were we doing? Maybe someone out there can fill me in. Whatever it was it was a lot of fun!

Seems there is an aerial shot of Alamo from the 60's I remember seeing once at Mom and Dad's...wonder if someone has that around to post or did we!?? Good grief...I need to look back over everything...too wild a summer to keep up! HA!
