Bragstad Brothers counsel an old friend

During the summer of 1971 the Bragstad brothers, Glen and Claude, drove from Minnesota to Fort Hood, Texas, to cheer up their college pal, who, after five years of hard-fought student deferments, had been drafted. They remember spending an afternoon swimming in the reservoir near Killeen, but little else, which was okay, because there were plenty of other stories left for the long-time friends to share over salad and breadsticks at the Olive Garden today.

Kathleen and Stan drove to the offices of Bragstad & Bragstad LTD in Brooklyn Center today to receive competent tax advice from this respected firm. They got that and much more. After some business, there was the usual grandparent exchange and photographs of the latest trip to Norway and then stories about their springtime trip to LA to deliver Claude's son Bjorn to the Bruce Springsteen concert.
Details of the legendary 1970s parties at the Roseville Aquarius Apartments and pool as well as at the Memorial Blood Bank Night Attendant quarters were covered only briefly and will not be repeated here due to space considerations.
Glen and Claude's mother is doing fine at 90 so we chatted about her and our own 92-year-old. We then learned that the Norwegian bachelor twins are knowledgeable visitors to our nearby Shakopee racetrack. . . which set up our next meeting and report.
Good friends, great times.
