Found your fishhook on page 20 in Brown's Tire & Auto ad.  I'm in favor of the $10 and I'll split it with my sister Bonnie Fritz.

To the Editor:
I was inspired to write to you after I visited Victoria, the beautiful town and hometown of my friend Jenny Orsen.  In the past I only knew Victoria as a town west of the Twin Cities.  As we traveled west on Highway 5 we came upon some beautiful countryside with rolling hills and even some farmland.  Downtown Victoria is small, peaceful, and quiet and yet the big city is only a short trip to the east.  Jenny is very lucky to have grown up in such a nice area.  I live in another small town just north of the Cities, Isanti, and I also grew up in the country.
Victoria is a great place to visit and must be even a better place to live.  I look forward to my next trip to your quaint small town.
I also enjoyed visiting your website.  You do a wonderful job with the Gazette.  The editorial on Jenny's wedding was grand.
Love, Ramona Oberlander, Isanti, Minnesota

To the Editor:
Hi, Sue.  I liked reading about all the new development that is expected to take place in Victoria.  The next time Margaret and I come back to visit, some of the new construction you wrote about will probably have started.

April showers are supposed to bring May flowers, but got April-fooled this year and received snow.  And in your April Gazette it's even raining fishhooks!  It was nice to read about Mae and Nushie Schmid and Ida Plocher.  Mae and Nushie have two granddaughters who are my nieces, Sarah and Rachel Meuwissen.

My Cub Scout den and I would like to thank you for opening your house and office to us.  We learned a lot about a small town newspaper and how it gets out on a monthly basis.  The boys got to see where you work and the pieces of the newspaper business.  They were excited to see themselves on your PC from the digital photographs you took.  They got a kick out of the full page negatives that the printer makes of your pages.
Thanks also for opening your house to our second half of the meeting on the Food Pyramid.  Your hospitality of sharing your house, popcorn, and pop was such a wonderful treat for us.  Thanks again for all you have done for us.
I have attached a document with a list of the boys' names and addresses.  Nicholas Fjeld was not at your house that night, but the boy in the blue uniform is Kyle Berg, Brandon's brother.

Enclosed is some money to help defray the cost of mailing the Victoria Gazette to me.  We enjoy it much.  My husband had three by pass surgeries, was in the hospital three times, and has been in physical therapy 18 times since about the end of November.  The bills pile up
You have a very good paper with interesting "stuff."  You put a lot of work into it I'm sure.  Thanks for sending it to us.
Aletha Haugen, St. Bonifacius, Minnesota

To the Editor:
Thank you so much for that delight-
fully delicious dinner last week and for inviting me to share of the warmth of your home with your family and friends.  You and Al have such a gracious presence.
Also, thanks for enlightening us all with the Gazette.  I have a friend who was a stylist at the Main Street Hair Salon for years, but of course has moved to other things now and misses hearing about her Victoria friends.  Well, to remedy the situation I would like to give her a subscription to the Gazette as a birthday present.  What better gift could I give!?  Penny lives in Delano.
Thanks again, Sue.
Julie Schmieg, Victoria, Minnesota

To the Editor:
Thanks for all the work you put into the Victoria Gazette and greetings to all Victorians from "The Willie Roblings."
Wilbert and Jeanette Robling, Jordan, Minnesota

To the Editor:
You reported in the last Gazette that I was in favor of the field house in Victoria.  That is incorrect.  I would like a retraction.  I am against it.  My wife Bonnie Carlson is in favor of it.
Jerry Amrhein, Victoria, Minnesota

Special thanks to family, relatives, neighbors, and friends who remembered Harold with prayers, visits, and cards during his stay at St. Gertrude's.  Also thanks for the Masses and the beautiful flowers, for the food and to those who prepared and served the lunch.
Milly Wartman/Don & Judy Wartman, Chaska, Minnesota
