Most 50th anniversary celebrations are special and Sunday, August 5, we drove to Leonard, ND to celebrate one that we are part of - the annual Sandvig picnic. Determined family members maintain its yearly occurrence, but this year a large group attended. It's meant a lot to one special attendee - Helene Sandvig. She is 107 years old and still gets around quite well. I doubt she has missed any. She even fell off her bench seat at a picnic table but with a little help got right up and continued eating her meal.
One of the family members has seen to making up a grave marker over the original immigrant's heretofore unmarked grave in Jamestown.
