We spend some time in the summer with relatives in a rented place in Alexandria, MN. These “relatives” have given me trouble over the years because I opened our “Integrating the Internet for Meaningful Learning” book with a story that included them and I described them “only” as relatives. The story described the role of the Internet in helping the community of Grand Forks deal with flood of 1997. This flood required the unplanned evacuation of nearly the entire population of Grand Forks and East Grand Forks and the Internet became a way for the community and acquaintances to reconnect in the aftermath. We drove to our relatives (Scott and Denise Ellingson) in Hinkley, MN and spent several weeks there before returning to Grand Forks.
So – the unnamed relatives are now named. The younger generations are shown in the following pictures.
