Letter from the University of Minnesota to Donna L. den Boer 1952

Letter from the University of Minnesota to Donna L. den Boer (sometimes spelled Denboer). Donna graduated from the U of MN as a veterinarian. To read more about Donna, go to her find a grave page, click here.


Paul W. Fredrickson, Berthold, North Dakota address

This was in our papers, looks to be just an address written down. Upon further research, it appears Paul's last name is spelled Fredrickson, not Fredickson as written on the paper. He is listed as being born in Norway in 1863, and died in Berthold, North Dakota in 1948.






Ray Alstad, Minneapolis, MN


Back of an envelope for an insurance policy with a Ray Alstad, his address is listed as 3940 24th Ave. So., 
 Drexel 0065- I believe this is related to the phone number and his location in Minneaplis, MN at the time.


Shirley Thompson, Blooming Prairie, MN


This photo was labeled, Shirley Thompson from Blooming Prairie, MN, born around 1929.

Unknown guy golfing, March 1963

Unknown guy golfing March-1963. This photo was in with photos of Minneapolis house (Arden, Bennie, and Hannah Gunderson's) and a February 1963 trip to the southern USA. We do not recognize this guy. Looks to be palm trees in the background, a 7-Eleven ?, possibly snow/water on the ground (looks like snow to us), a strip mall ?- Can see the letters PU___(can't make out the remainder of the sign)
