Even though not all 300 tickets were sold for the Max Civic Club's Annual Steak Fry held this past Saturday evening, the 24th, the event was a success with the entertainment giving the attendees even more than they expected. The Magician Bill Sorenson and Mylo Hatzenbuhler gave the audience what they had hoped for, and even more. The duo were given a standing ovation!

A request has come in through our personal e-mail, not through the Max Web-site, so I will copy it here for you to see if you have any information for this John Njaa (njaa@section20.com).

He writes: " I grew up in Cooperstown, ND and entered the Navy in 1956. I attended a Navy school in Millington, TN in 1956/1957. While at that school, I met a Ted Harchanko, who, if I remember correctly, grew up in Max. We became friends. We met a couple young ladies in Memphis, and Ted married one of them. After we left the school in Millington, we lost track of each other. Years ago, I heard that Ted had an electrical contracting business in El Cajon, CA. I think I also remember being told that Ted disappeared while traveling in Mexico. Would any of this ring a bell with anyone in Max? Is my memory correct about Ted growing up in Max? It would be interesting to know what became of my friend and the lady from Memphis. Thank you, John Njaa" If anyone knows of anything to tell John Njaa but can't respond through his e-mail address, please contact me, Margaret Zaderaka at 679-2459 or via postal mail at 2983 30th. Avenue N.W.; Max, N.D. 58759 and I will forward the information to him for you.

Busy days in Max aren't over yet!!  The Max Library is having a Library Week in November and various events will take place on various days. The excitement starts on Monday, November 9th.  Details of all the events will be listed in the Max News or elsewhere in this newspaper.

Halloween is on this coming Saturday so be ready to answer your door and be careful if you are out and about, whether with your children or driving.  Let's be a safe community!
