To the Editor: Hi, Sue. I am looking for some old pictures of the Victoria State Bank building (now Dr. Dungey's office) from around 1911, probably right after it was built, or as old as you can find them. I am mostly interested in what the original doors and windows looked like and what buildings would have been next to it. I have the old street scene from the fifties that is in the Victoria House, but I was wondering if you had any other old photos I could look at. I am painting an Adirondack chair for Volksfest and the theme is the 100-year anniversary of the bank. Let me know if you have anything that could help. Thanks very much. Jenny Neubarth Victoria, Minnesota
To the Editor: Hi, Sue. Thank you so much for your kind article about Vic's. Our staff loved it and we have had a number of great comments about it from existing and new customers. We are wonderfully surprised at the number of new friends that have come into Vic's since your article was published. Thanks again for introducing Vic's to Victoria. We have truly enjoyed bring "Vic" to life in such a charming town and couldn't ask for a better crowd to share in the fun. You are a delight to work with. Brenda Hovander and Mike Meents Vic's Bar and Grill Victoria, Minnesota
To the Editor: I was surprised at the spread of my church photos in the July issue. I must add that Mark Stulz is Julian's grandpa. Ron Holtmeier Victoria, Minnesota
To the Editor: Thank you for the copies of Jim and Barbara Carlsons' story from the December 2004 Gazette. I've known them most of my life but many "parts" I didn't know as they both are not show-offs of their successes. I'm sure my classmates will love reading their story. Ethel Van Ryswyks Deer River, Minnesota
To the Editor: August is here and back to school sales are near. Back on the bus, hit the books, out of Ma's hair for seven hours. Come off the bus, Ma's hanging wash, folding wash, canning tomatoes, chatting with her chums. I remember going through the front door and she's canning tomatoes and that green phone on the wall is ringing away. I'd want to start in with homework and watch reruns of Leave it to Beaver, but all of a sudden Ma is on the squawk box and I'm on tomato stirring duty. Then Ma is getting more jars and supplies out of the basement. The phone rings again so I yell down the basement and she'd say, "Ach Ya." The shelves downstairs held the inventory of Rosie's canning factory -- and not just stewed tomatoes but ground cherries, pears, pickles ... Mom had a lot of the blue-green jars and they're valuable as they are very old and no longer made. In her coffin I placed a canning jar lid labeled from 1990, her last year of canning. She passed on in 1991, twenty years ago. It's twenty-one years ago this September that she was diagnosed with lung cancer and bone cancer and she did not smoke. I remember her standing in the backyard. I was by the fence talking to the neighbor and Ma said, "I don't have much of a future. I have cancer." She lived five months from when it was found.
