That is my parent's farm! My grandparents moved there in 1944 to rent and farm it before my dad turned 1. I was born in 1973 and parents began to buy the farm right after that from the Bleich family who owned it. We took the house down last Summer. The corn crib came down in 1978 and was replaced with a red and white Morton shed. The barn is there and had steel put on it around 2003. I think that is my grandparent's 1959 Ford Galaxie sitting in front of the little garage. My uncle still has that car. No-one in the family has this photo, so I'm so happy to see it now. I'll definitely be placing an order in the near future. Thanks!

Just 1/2 mile North of our family farm is this farm of the Lovstads. I have such good memories of visiting here and I used to go visit Gene Lovstad after he got back from the Army. I was influenced to join the Army because of my dad and Gene and I am so glad I did. Gene's younger brother Phil is a friend still to this day.
