The moves down and back were the first legs in the journey to find a home that brought them, well, home. W. Sundby began his position as superintendent of the Glasgow...

Olszewski has raised $32,524 and personally loaned his ca...

Do you remember driving to Opheim and crossing railroad tracks on that highway, or how about driving the current Billingsley Road and crossing railroad tracks? There may have been many more such rail crossings, but those are the ones I am familiar with. It doesn’t require a lot of thought to connect the railroad with the Glasgow AFB as there must have been a lot of supplies that were transported to that facility. I don’t remember that there were any cross arms at the crossing, but I am going to guess not. However, it was not uncommon to see...

Another week has gone by. We've had a bit of over an inch of rain in that time, and it's still drizzling down as I write this. The garden is rapidly becoming a jungle. Thanks to the grass I've mulched with, I can still walk out there without becoming much taller, but my shoes still get muddy. There isn't much walking space between some of the rows, so I have to tread carefully. There are still some raspberries that could be picked. Today would be the day I should go between the rows. Each row...
