WE REMEMBER:
December was a difficult month as we reflect on the passing of several of our members: Vivian Isaksen on December 12, June Waters on December 27, and Doris Lodin on December 28.

Dear Friends and Members,
Once again thank you for sending me the Skjold News which you know I really enjoy. It's great to see the names of many I remember and also the many new folks now attending. Perhaps some day soon I might get to meet them when I return up yonder. We've really had beautiful weather this past year but not such good health due to old age, as my doctor says, but what can one expect when one lives so long? As some of you know, I'm really getting up there. But all in all I've had many good, healthy years, so do not complain! Each New Year is great at times. As you know we have no Sons of Norway Lodges in Arkansas. Don't even think we have many Norwegians down here, in fact, none I have met. But there are many other good folks. I'll just have to remember the good old times and keep in touch with you. Sending a little donation as a special thank-you for keeping me in touch. To all of you, greetings, and a
Happy New Year of PEACE and good health.
Hilsen, Harriet Pedersen
