Years

So how many of you have read this novel? I admit that, while I vaguely recall it, I don't think I've read it - even though it is set in our old home town.

Publishers Weekly

In September 1917, 18-year-old Linnea Brandonberg steps off the train in Alamo, North Dakota, eager to begin her first teaching job. A town girl, she is not prepared for the dour reception of the Westgaard family, with whom she is boarding. But rather than let people and circumstances master her, she singlehandedly changes them, including Theodore Westgaard, a bitter widower of 35 who never thought he would fall in love again. Spencer has done a splendid job here in making this more than a story of two people enamored of each other. She describes the growth of Teddy and Linnea's love with sensitivity and refreshing candor and brings all the residents of Alamo to life in a way that makes the reader care about their satisfactions and heartaches.

Alamo Cerca 1941

This is Johnny Jacobson's shop, I believe. At least it was in the '60's. Note in the picture window the spire and cross from the church. So maybe I don't know exactly where this was. The scene is of Superintendent Bolgen talking to Peder Sogard. The picture window is marked Alamo Auto Company.

The school picture is of the faculty and some seniors in 1941. Recognize anyone?
