Trønderlag 100th Anniversary

I received a call recently from one of the officers of Trønderlag of America, an organization for people from the Trondheim region in Norway called Trøndelag.  The caller asked if I was the grandson of Elias Haarsager.  Yes, I am, I said.  Turns out that my grandfather was one of the 120 founders of the organization back in 1908 (he lived from 1855-1926 and emigrated to America in 1880).

So this year, the organization is celebrating its 100th anniversary on August 9th in Fergus Falls, Minnesota.  For details, go to www.tronderlag.org/centennial.htm.  Sounds like a fun event and I'm tentatively planning to attend.  --Dennis Haarsager
