It is always rewarding to read names of students from the area that are on a college
honor roll. Some known of at this time are Shelby Wurtz, Dakota Brown, Megan Johnson, and Amanda Peterson.

Kenny and I got to watch Levi Sprinkle last Tuesday for just a short time. He screamed and cried from the time his dad dropped him off until I had the bright idea of Skyping with Johnny on the Kindle. He wouldn’t even let me take his coat off, wanted no toys, I had to force him to sit by me on the couch so he couldn’t escape out the back door! But...once he got to visiting and watching Johnny, everything was just fine. He even started calling me Grandma and visiting with Kenny. When Rick came to pick him up, he didn’t want to go. Isn’t that just like a kid!

Old Roseglen news by Mrs. Earl Pederson. I don’t know the year:


“March of Dimes party a successful event. Another in the form of a successful March of Dimes fund raising party was brought to a climax Friday evening, Feb. 1st at the Roseglen hall. Favorable weather added much to the enlightment for everyone, even tho’ the thermometer did register a cool 18 below. In spite of that however, the hall was filled to capacity for the Talent Show and the dance which followed.
When everything was added up, the gross results showed some $2,050.00 were taken in. After expenses were paid, the net results amounted to $1764.00. Last year’s totals were some over $1200.00 which everyone thought was terrific, and this brought in even more!”
