Bonnie (Schlueter) Olson returned from Taiwan last week to her home in St. Paul after spending two weeks there. The school where she is employed in St. Paul — the ESC, English as a Second Language — located on the St. Thomas campus, selected her to go to Taiwan to train several students in more proficient English. Bonnie and her husband, Brian, recently compiled a book of 109 pages about places to see in the Los Angeles area. They have vacationed at various times in that vicinity and found interesting places that are not well known. They decided to search them out and put them down in writing so other folks could know about them. They based their investigations on the works of Raymond Chandler in his mystery novels. The book is entitled "Tailing Philip Marlowe." If you are planning to visit the Los Angeles area you may want to look through this book and find other interesting places you might be missing. Mae Top attended a birthday party for Mildred Klosterbuer last Wednesday afternoon in Luverne. Thursday Joanne Goehle went to Edgerton to watch her granddaughter, Katie Hadler, play volleyball. On Sunday she and Tom joined other family members at the Hadler home to celebrate Katie’s birthday. Bob and Twila Kirsch attended confirmation services Sunday in Heron Lake when their granddaughter, Breann Wheeler, was confirmed and a reception at her parents’ home in Lakefield. Ray and Lois Nelson were also present. Cliff and Vi VanWyhe visited Sunday in the home of Ron and Lexi DeWit in Sioux Falls and also with Melanie Warner, a patient at Avera McKennan Hospital. The triplets, Drew, Donavon and Danette, children of David and Dawn Leenderts, made their initial visit into Hills Sunday where they were honored by their neighbors and friends at a shower at the Hills American Legion Club room. Along with the siblings was their older brother Dawson. This, I believe, was their third trip away from home. They are making fine progress.
