Good
Morning Don!
Hope all is
going well
with you and
Muriel. I
was looking
at the
picture of
the first
graduating
class under
Harry
Enzmann's
birthday
picture. It
lists my
uncle Axel
Falk as
being in
that class.
As much as
we look at
the picture,
we can't
figure out
which one he
is. Are
there any
names that
go along
with that
picture?
It's very
sad when I
can't even
recognize my
own uncle!
Thank you
very much,
Denise

TWENTY BELOW
By Dan Anderson-
Hibbing MN
.
It’s -20 below on
the Iron Range
If you didn’t
live here you’d
think it was strange
To plug in your
car with an electric
cord
And to sit on a
seat that was stiff
as a board
When its -20
below on the Iron
Range
.
At -20 below if
your car doesn’t
start
In the parking
lot of your local
K-mart
A total stranger
will give you a hand
We’re friendly
folks in this frozen
land
At -20 below if
your car doesn’t
start
.
When it’s -20
below in an Iron
Range Town
People still
smile and seldom
frown
For they know
that this will never
last
And chalk it up
to an arctic blast
When it’s -20
below in an Iron
Range Town
.
It’s just -20
below and it’s a
little cool
The busses all
line up on the way
to school
Schools never
cancel when it’s
still this warm
That’s reserved
for the time of a
big snow storm
It’s just -20
below and it’s a
little cool
.
It’s -20 below
when the wind starts
to howl
Any weaker group
would throw in the
towel
But true Iron
Rangers just smile
and grin
And might be
tempted to just stay
in
It’s -20 below
when the wind starts
to howl
.
It’s -20 below
and the lakes all
are froze
We just add
another layer of
clothes
And fresh caught
fish is really nice
When we drop a
line through a hole
in the ice
When it’s -20
below and the lakes
are all froze
.
It’s only -20
blow at the crack of
dawn
We put on our
boots ‘cause there’s
wood to be sawn
We start up the
saw and cut up a
cord
And haul it all
home in a Chevy or
Ford
It’s only -20
below at the crack
of dawn
.
It’s -20 below
and it’s only
December
That’s not too
bad, the old timers
remember
it got colder
than that when they
were young
And someone got
froze to the pump by
his tongue
It’s -20 below
and it’s only
December
.
It’s -20 below
and it’s going to
get colder
Most people get
used to it as they
get older
Others just go
south for the season
They might be the
ones who listen to
reason
It’s -20 below
and it’s going to
get colder
.
It’s -20 below
again this year
Some will ask why
we want to live here
Up here in the
north in the winter
time
We all get along
and don’t have much
crime
It’s -20 below
again this year
.
Well if it’s
still -20 below by
the end of May
I might be
convinced to move
away
But that won’t
happen, I really
hope
For that might be
too much for even us
to cope
It it’s still -20
below by the end of
May
.

Don- I was
backing up
some files
on my old
computer and
I ran
accross this
poem I had
written a
couple years
back. I
noticed the
thermometer
had passed
20 below, so
I thought i
would share
my poem with
you.
Retired life

Motorcycle
Accidents

Motorcycle
accidents
This was
the
article
under
minnesota
"crashes"
where I
read
that the
rider
Dale was
taught
to lay a
motorcycle
down to
avoid an
accident.
I didn't
want to
specify
who or
what or
when. I
just
wanted
to try
and
correct
the
concept
that
"laying"
a
motorcycle
down is
the
thing to
do. In
fact
according
to the
instructors
at the
motorcycle
class
said it
was the
positively
the
worst
thing
that you
could do
as once
the
motorcycle
is down
you have
lost all
control.
As I
said in
the last
email
they
taught
us an
emergency
maneuver
(which
may or
may not
have
allowed
this
rider to
be alive
today).
To make
a
motorcycle
swerve
sharply
is to
momentarily
turn the
handlebars
sharply
in the
opposite
direction
that you
want the
cycle to
swerve.
This
causes
the
cycle to
lean
sharply
causing
it to
swerve
and then
straighten
up in
the
direction
you were
travelling.
We
practiced
this
every
day
during
the
weeklong
rider
class.
This is
who I
took my
motorcycle
riding
training
from.
Its a
National
organization.
