Entry in the Lindstrom Book

Roy Aldin Lindstrom wrote the following in his typewritten Lindstrom Book (formatting retained).

When I wrote to Donald, Harry's oldest son for some information about his family, I couldn't resist kidding him about he and his Dad and Bernard's attempt at Boat Building when they were on the Farm.

It turns out that the three of them had sent for a Kit and Plans for a flat bottom Boat. After much measuring, it was decided that the basement would be an ideal place to work, plenty of room, nice and warm, so construction began, piece followed piece, with much discussion, as they neared completion a dilemma had developed, the finished boat was too large for the entrance to the basement, a fishing boat, doomed to the basement? no water? and no fish? what to do? start over, 'impossible'. Don't under estimate the ingenuity of a Lindstrom, 'no problem' they moved the brick from one side of the entrance to the basement and some foundation from the house, after had removed the Boat, they moved it to the garage and finished it there of course there still was the problem of repairing the house, if there were any more problems Don did not mention them.

Don and his wife Barbara built a new home in the Country in Madison, Wis. and spend their winter months in Northern Florida.

Don and Barbabra have on Son, Timothy Daniel Charles and three Daughters Cheri Ann, Linda Jean and Kristan Kay.

Bernard and his wife have a son Eric Paul and a daughter, Robyn Leisel.
