Do you remember? It was January 15th, 2010 when
the Max Cafe opened. They will be celebrating their 3rd Anniversary with a
special event later in the month. Watch for details.
Another housing request is on the Max website
from Chelsea of Garrison. "Hello, my husband and I are looking to buy a
home in Max because I work in Minot and he works in Garrison. Please let me
know if anyone knows of any available homes (that are reasonably priced) or
even a little land to build would be great. Thanks!" Contact Tamra Huesers
of Max if you can help this couple out. She will then get ahold of them.
Virginia Sides of Stockbridge, Georgia came to
spend Christmas with her Mother, Lila Fannik and family and friends. It was
really wonderful having her here, her Mother said.
Eugene and Margaret Zaderaka's son, Dean, and his
wife, Heidi, were able to take in all the fun times with the N.D.S.U. game in
Frisco, Texas this past Saturday. The most memorable day was Sunday, January
6th when three cousins were able to get together; Edward from Frisco; Kevin
from Paradise, Texas; and Dean from Minot, North Dakota. That day, January 6th,
would have been their Grandfather Geiszler's 108th birthday so the whole day
was special for them. Their Mothers are Florence Wiest from Wishek; Elaine
Fischer from Garrison; and Margaret Zaderaka from Max, all Geiszler girls. It
has been 30-40 years since these cousins were last together.
