Talk of the Town: June 19, 2023

New Rockford and surrounding areas express sympathy to the family of Wilma Kurtz.

Monday afternoon, Shirley Packard and Calvin were visitors at the John Sookov home, welcoming him to the neighborhood. John recently moved into the former Janet Laube home. John and Shirley's (Womacks) families knew each other and were farm neighbors when Shirley was five and John was 10 years old. At times, it can be a small world.

Eloise Lucht was in Devils Lake Monday taking care of business and doing a little necessary shopping.

Janet Laube said goodbye to MarJean Pfau and Charlotte Koepplin Wednesday morning as niece Robin and Scott Westall of Fargo came to take her to Fargo to be closer to family as a resident at Edgewood Vista. She is settling nicely in her apartment with a bay window, enjoying for sure the pond with geese and goslings and other wildlife and all the conveniences of the Vista. Janet would be happy to hear from friends. Write to her at 4420 37th Ave. S. Apt #591, Fargo, N.D. 58104 or give her a call at (701) 230-0676. Niece Rhonda Berglund took her shopping Monday for a new love seat and recliner.

Tessa Charlotte, daughter of Taylor and Amanda Koepplin and sister of Evelyn, celebrated her first birthday on June 10 with lots of little cousins, friends, grandpas, grandmas, aunts and uncles at her home. It was a fun yard party with a special cake, bbqs, fruit, chips, yummy salads and gifts. Pictures were taken and all enjoyed watching a passel of littles play. There were two sizes of swimming pools, water guns, swings, a slide, sandbox and a tent all specially set up for the kids. Fun was had by all.
