Loved Anderson story
Monday, November 24, 2003
I loved your story about Tortsten Anderson. Although I am not Swedish, my husband's family originated in Sweden but settled in Oregon and Northern California and I know they will love the copy of this story that I will pass around at Thanksgiving.
Those Swedes (and immigrant farmers from all countries) sure had a tough life. Alf Anderson (my husband's Grandfather) and his brother were fisherman and lived a hard life on the sea.
A broken back, a broken neck and even cancer couldn't stop him and he just recently died at age 93. I hope you print more stories like this so us transplanted McCook-ites can enjoy a little bit of the small town life again.
Thank you,
