There is a message in the Max website, maxnd.com,
from Steven James Olson of Standwood, Washington. E-mail address is
solson512@yahoo.com . He writes: "Hello, I was doing some family research
and happy to find a website for my father's birth place. His name was Delmer
James Olson. He was born in Max back in 1917 and had a sister Evelyn, my aunt.
She also passed. He and my grandparents moved to Washington State back before
WWII. I hope someday to visit Max with my family and see if we can find any
information on the family looking through old records. Thanks for letting me
say hello, Steve Olson."

Last week some of us thoroughly enjoyed watching
the "B" basketball teams compete at the Minot State University dome.
There was a lot of music and entertainment also. Some special music was being
played on the first day of the games but not heard nor announced....the Max
Band. They played several times - the school songs while the people sang to
them - and several other songs too. They are directed by Colleen Zabka of Max.
There was also 'canned' music going on which pretty much drowned out the Max
Band. It was not announced which band was there nor did the television people
scan over the band. There were many disappointed grandparents and friends back
home watching closely for a peek at the Max Band.
This past Sunday the Max Senior Citizens' French Toast and Sausage
breakfast was enjoyed by many. The Max FFA helped with the serving and were
very appreciated. The silent auction held was very successful also. These funds
are used to pay the Senior Citizens' building bills like insurance etc. We want
to thank everyone for coming.
Another event in Max was the World Day of Prayer service held at Our Savior
Lutheran Church. There was a lot of music and readings and the speaker was
great. The turnout isn't very good for these services anymore....we hope we
don't lose the opportunity to host it.
