Norwegians visit
Three visitors from Skeien in Telemark, Norway, who attended the Norsk Hostfest in Minot, took time to find Lake Ibsen, which was named for the Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen, who was also from Skeien. They were directed to Lee Larson, who lived most of his life near the lake and gave them the information they were seeking. Hermod H.
