Hi, Sue. Just want to let you know that we are moving to a new street here in Chaska and would like you to change our address for the Gazette. By the way, that was a cute picture of the Victoria girls in the August issue, from the Victoria Lions Tournament.

I regret to report the death of one of your subscribers, Myrene Fossum Moesner. From time to time you would publish letters from her. She was only 82. Services will be held in Tucson with burial here in Victoria at the Lake Auburn Moravian Cemetery.

There is a Krey Avenue in the City of Victoria which is named for the folks who farmed in that area just west of downtown Victoria. All the family is now gone, with most of them resting in the Lake Auburn Moravian Cemetery. So, I must be the champion as to the correct pronunciation of their name. Krey is pronounced as Cry.
There is another old Victoria name that is not correctly pronounced by folks who are new to the area, and that name is Tschimperle but I will leave that to another time.

To the Editor:
My mother, Phyllis (Hammerstrom) Lindberg, taught elementary school in Victoria from the fall of 1942 until the spring of 1946, i.e., during World War II. She was a young 22-year old teacher, having graduated from St. Cloud State in the spring of 1941.
My father, like most men of the time, was off to war. They were married in October of 1945, right after his return. My mother is now 85 and has lived in North Branch, MN, 45 miles north of the Twin Cities since 1945.
During her years in Victoria, my mother roomed with Math and Gladys Hartmann and later with Ed Plocher. She taught grades 1-4 in the old brick school building in town [today the office building at 1600 Arboretum Blvd.]. During that time, the school was a two-classroom school divided for grades 1-4 and 5-8.
Victoria children who were in grades 1-4 during World War II would be 65 to 70 years old now. I would like to make contact with anyone who had "Miss Hammerstrom" as a teacher in grades 1 through 4 during the period 1941 to 1945.
She has always remembered Victoria fondly, and I am trying to determine whether a reunion would be something that people would be interested in. Former students or family members may contact me at plindberg@surfnetusa.com or by phone at 831-439-7611.
Cards or letters would also be most welcomed addressed to Peter Lindberg, 164 Oak Creek Blvd., Scotts Valley, CA 95066.
Sincerely,
Peter Lindberg

To the Editor:
Hard to believe it's September. The summer went fast as usual. The leaves will be turning their colors and flying all over.
Remember the first grade readers that had stories of Dick and Jane, Sally, Puff the cat, Spot the dog? They always had short sentences like "Ride, Sally, ride. Run, Dick, run. See Jane and Sally run." In the August issue of the Gazette, it's "Run, Deer Run. Run over to page 38. Run around Deer Run. Find the fishhook around the word Deer."
I saw a few classmates in the August Gazette - Jill Moore Kunze, Roxanne Notermann Sackett, and Tom Schrempp. I could still recognize Tom Schrempp even with the cookie duster (as Ma called a mustache). He had a cookie duster back in high school. Quite a few guys did and still do now, minus some hair on top. And gray hair!

Have you taken any digital pictures of your landscaping project? I love looking at your online Album. When did you get to Harmony? Looks like it was fun. We now have fast internet at home, too, so I can look there all the time.
