Trip to Southern Minnesota by Edmund Kuester

June 3 we left Riplinger via Soo Line train to St. Paul and Minneapolis. At 8:40 we left Minneapolis and went on to Winthrop, Minn., and on Friday attended the wedding and reception of a nephew, Ewald Kuester. Then we went on to Fairfax, Minn. for a visit and had a chance to stack some Minnesota alfalfa hay. We visited the Mission Festival at Wellington Sunday and met many old friends, many of whom sang with me in the choir there 55 years ago.

We visited relatives in Fort Ridgel and then went on to where the big tornado struck, blowing down trees, big smoke stacks, and windows in stores causing a great deal of damage and then we went on back to Riplinger.
