In 2007 the barn on the farm was definitely aging.
My dad explored salvaging the boards. Dad and I went out to the farm and brought
home a barn door.
I taught at Storm Lake
Middle School and Mike, the industrial arts teacher, was gracious (after roping
him in) and cut the wood and created picture frames – 14 for the grandchildren
of Marie and Adolph. I used an aerial picture
of the farm and gave them to my sisters and cousins.
