By permission, a letter from Evie,

Dear Rich,

Thank you for the invitation to your class reunion. As you know, we have relocated to Elkhorn, Nebraska. We live in a assisted living apartment. There is a memory unit just down the hall, When I plan to be gone for more than an hour, I take Swede down there. Then I know he's in good hands. Because of our situation, it will not be possible for us to be at the reunion.
A few things were lost in the move - one being your invite. I'm trying to recall some of the information you asked to be sent to you.
We have three grown sons and seven grandchildren. The three oldest ones will be seniors in high school next year. I'm looking forward to Spring 2012. It will be interesting to see what they choose to do after high school graduation.
Our son, Craig, and his family live in Omaha. After looking at places near Bruce in New Ulm, and near Lee in Rochester, we chose Elk Ridge mainly because of the setup and the care they offered people with memory problems. We like it here. There is a lot planned to keep us busy and the staff is very friendly and helpful.
Enjoy your time together. The best to all of you.

Evie Olson
