Reunions in 1986
Evanstad: June 11, 1986
Minneapolis, Minnesota: Glen Brooks and I (and perhaps others not
recorded) went to the Hubert H. Humphrey Airport to meet 21 cousins
arriving from Norway. We had a large banner, "Velkomm Evanstad
Relatives" and a small gathering at a nice restaurant by the river..
Evanstad: June 13 and 14, 1986
Fargo, North Dakota, Doublewood Inn. Group photographs were made, each
group according to the Evanstad ancestor at the time of the immigration
to USA (and the Norwegians, in group 1, are descended from the Evanstad
that stayed in Norway).
