Rangvold Kvelstad, teacher at Larson, informed us this week that he had received a letter from the governor of the state of Washington, Hon. Arthur B. Langlie, in which Mr. Langlie stated that he attended his first three years of school in the building now used as a schoolhouse at Larson, from 1908 to 1911. When Mr. Langlie attended school in the building it was located at Kindred, N. D., and has been moved to Larson since that time. He also stated in his letter that he made many a trip up the street of Kindred barefoot in his early youth, and suffered many a frost bite while walking to school in what is now the Larson schoolhouse.

Why We Chose It
This clipping is both on our theme of remembering those who blazed the trail for us, but about a North Dakotan going out and rising high. These are fun to share, and it’s a tradition that continues… if only we could keep a few more of these capable people in-state where they could apply their skills here on the prairie!
