The Fourth of July is here! Hard to believe. Hopefully it doesn't rain and the mosquitoes won't be hungry. I stay inside and watch them from the fifth floor balcony here and I see fireworks from four directions, on the eastern horizon over the Carver County Courthouse.
The robin on page 36 of the June paper will find plenty of bait to go fishing, even without the fishhook. They get their bait "dirt cheep." Ha, ha.
I'm an "old" timer from Chaska, 40 years old on July 24th, with no crow's feet, no gray hair, no facelifts, no artificial anything, 100% natural, and I can still hear.

Two Notermann girls, Ann Rose and Betty, came to see the new St. Victoria Church on May 16th for the 11 a.m. Mass. As we entered the front door of the old church, we remembered an interesting fact and that was this …
On September 2nd, 1915, our Grandfather Arnold Notermann, the same one who built Notermann's Store in 1906-1908, died in the St. Victoria Church! I had the obituary in my family history book, which stated that he was in the church on a Thursday afternoon.
I felt that there was a mistake on the date of death because of the fact that the Notermann farm on Bavaria Road was too far from church to go on a weekday with horse and buggy. But my problem was solved by Regina (Diethelm) Kerber who lived east of Victoria, when I visited her for information for my history.
Regina and her sister Dorothy Schmieg, when they were children, attended church on that Thursday for confessions before First Friday devotions the next day. They witnessed Grandfather Arnold as he was leaving church, dropped to the floor in front of the Sorrowful Mother statue, which was near the back door in those days. They saw Grandfather being carried out to the strong steps, where he died. This removed my doubts about his being in church on that Thursday afternoon, September 2nd, 1915, as reported in the Chaska Valley Herald.
Sue, I thought this might be an interesting item for the Gazette while we are conscious of the new St. Victoria Church and its glory. We loved seeing the old church standing in its beauty. And we think the new building is beautiful as it rises above the woods, which we all remember from our childhood. Thank you to the planners and Father Bob. And thank you, Sue, for making Victoria happy with all that you have done.
Sending love and blessings,
Elizabeth (Notermann) Fink

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. Pulte isn't planning on bringing senior housing options to Victoria over the next year, but they are checking on their plans farther out than that. I'll let you know if it is in the long term plans. Thanks for your interest.

Hi, Sue. I just have to tell you how proud of you I am. I am talking about your editorial about the city council meet-ing fracas. You did a bang-up job of telling them like it is. I read the editorial first, then read the City Scoop pages, and then I understood what you were hollerin' about. Good for you. Seems civility is a lost art these days.
I received an email from Caroline Hartman. Gosh, it was good to hear from her. It's been so long. Wish we could all get together. I may need to take a trip up Minnesota way. Seeing the familiar faces in the Gazette makes me "homesick." I doubt that I would recognize the land-scape anymore. Wow, the building and improvements around Victoria have been phenomenal.
Tell Allan hello from Dick and me. And the invitation is open anytime you feel like exploring southeast Tennessee and the Great Smoky Mountains. Free room and board … what more can you ask?? Talk to you later.

Enjoyed the wonderful story and history of Evelyn Goldschmidt in your June issue. What a great spirit. Sorry to hear about her fall and broken arm. Cards are on the way to cheer her in her recuperation at Good Samaritan Home.
Found the fishhook on the robin's wing, page 36, in Jerry Chapman's ad.
