Roseau County Museum Woman's History Month Update

We have had wonderful programs celebration Woman's History Month. The second Saturday in March, Roseau County educators and supporting staff received recognition. One of the areas researched was the Teachers of the Year. All teachers in the county who had received this honor received certificates of recognition.

Speakers for the event were Kelly Falk, Roseau TOY 1975, Karla Rislov, Roseau TOF 1984, also was on the Honor Roll for Minnesota Teacher of the Year; Therese McBride, Warroad, 1994; Judy Puczinski, Greenbush/Middle River, 1997; and Cindy Sandahl, Warroad, 2008. They told of the changes that had taken place in education over the years. 93 year-old Kelly Falk had seen the most changes from when she first taught to the present day.

Special music was provided by two local church Bell Choirs.

The exhibits designed by the Education Committee chaired by Pam Solberg and the talents of Janice Brenden, Diane Churchill, Kelly Falk, Katie Hedlund, Gail Johnson, Elaine Lang, Sharon Lund, Aliza Olson, Sheila Olson, Lori Schaible, Marion Solom, and Joyce Wiodtke were wonderful reminders of how education has changed and how women have participated in that change.


Over 100 individuals attended the event and enjoyed the fellowship of other educators from across the county.

Quiet Day

Sudays often are the only days that one finds time to rest. With so much going on this next week I had to check on many last minute details. I realized that there was one more day for the Roseau County Fair so had to get people to cover for that time. I added the family reunion onto Flickr and sent the info on to our family. That was a great family reunion. I had only seen my Uncle Bill, my father's half brother, one other time. We always sent time visiting by the campfire at night and between me and my cousins, we convinced our aunts to sing which got us all singing together. My grand parents children could sure harmonize. All in all the weekend had been a very enjoyable one. We probably will not all be together for a couple of years now. My aunt Bernadette passed away this past winter and my Uncle Bob is not very well, neither are Renee and Bryce. I guess we are not staying young!



I have some last minute packing to do before tomorrow. Haven't talked to the kids today either. Hummm.
