Saturday, Dave and Linda traveled to Park River to cheer on last year’s Senior League bowlers at the annual Joe Klemen 40 Framer Tournament. The Madson’s did not bowl this year, but enjoyed spending time with the friends who did. A 40 framer amounts to four games without a break. Sunday afternoon, Linda accompanied Melodie, Kennedee and McKenzee to the Burdick Arena where the girls took part in the exhibition number their synchro team will perform at a competition in Moorhead next weekend.

John and Donna Grann and family received very sad news that John’s younger brother, Paul, was not successful in the research treatment of cancer he was undergoing in Houston. He is back home in Perth, N.D., now under the care of his family and home health. This is indeed, sad news for Paul and his family. Prayers continue for them.

Everyone stay warm and safe out there.
