Family History Tour - 2012

This is the obituary for Sara Jane Henning Walkinshaw. I found these clippings at the Nodaway Valley History Museum Center in 2012. We were on our first Family History tour and drove from Casper to Iowa, then to Minnesota. 

We also went to the Minnesota State Fair as they have ALOT of "different" foods. While we were there Brian had "Alligator on a stick", I don't think he thought it tasted like chicken though. [I just looked on the website and it looks like we missed the Ostrich on a Stick.]It was frequented by thousands of people. We also got a bucket of Sweet Martha's chocolate chip cookies - which were OK.. We had the bucket around here for awhile-I don't know where it is now. We stayed for the "oldies" music show in the arena - I remember the "Happy Together Tour: Mark Lindsey[of the Raiders] and maybe Gary Puckett [the Union Gap] and possibly two of the band members from the "Grass Roots." [One of them was in a wheelchair-I can't remember why.]

While we were there we stayed in a hotel in downtown Minneapolis, we ate at the onsite restaurant. One night we went and sat not far from a "20-ish" couple. It turned out that they were from Iceland and here in the states to see what we Americans were like! We talked with them and it turned out that the man was in pilot training and then had a job, I think, with the Icelandic Airline. We told him about Robert working on  his pilot's license in Casper and how he wanted to go to school in Salt Lake City. It was a fun evening talking with them.
