Tangen Family Wishes Across the Miles and Across the Years

This postcard (above and below) was sent to Ole O Tangen by his daughters Bernadine and Marjorie.  They were visiting in St. Paul, Minnesota and it was November 2, 1942


This postcard (above and below) was sent from Bruce and Rosalie Tangen to Bob and Bernadine Tangen Weber.  This was sent from Montana in 1962.
 

This postcard (above and below) was sent from Pvt Carlyle Kaasa to his grandmother Ella Mae Tangen.  He did not know that she had passed away two days before. 
It was sent on October 12, 1942


This postcard (above and below) was sent from Donald Laverne Allen to his cousin Bernadine Tangen.  The postmark does not give the date, but Berndine still lived in Frederic, WI.



This postcard (above and below) was sent to Bob and Bernadine Tangen Weber by Bernadine's mother, Kathryn Vandervort Tangen.  This was sent in September of 1964.  The "future son-in-law" was a reference to Paul Knedel who would marry Kathryn's daughter LaVonne the next spring.



This postcard (above and below) was sent to Ole and Kathryn Tangen by their daughter Marjorie Norma Tangen,  It was sent in July of 1942.



This postcard (above and below) was sent by Marjorie Tangen Whitlock to her sister Bernadine Tangen Weber in April of 1951.  Her concern for how her sister was feeling was because Bernadine and Bob had had a son in August of 1948 who had passed away two days later.  Bernadine was again pregnant -- this time with me!  It was touch and go there for awhile as she thought she had miscarried, but here I am.  Mom always thought I might have been a twin.  Will find out in heaven!

I live in Huron, Ohio.
I ran across your 2013 Norwegian reunion at Sawmill Creek the other day. The outstanding part was TANGEN. My grandmother was born on a TANGEN farm but in Kilebygda, Telemark.
Many years ago I saw a license plate "UFF DA" in Huron but could not make contact. That person was probably one of your organizers for that reunion.
I would at least like to say HI.
