1915 -- At the Rolfsrud Hotel in Watford City, Anna-Olson Fuhr who had sailed from Harstad, Norway, with the Rolfsrud family (and had walked the decks with squawling baby Erling) worked with Rebecca [Stan's grandmother] in the kitchen. They served meals for twenty-five cents. No short orders. All had the same menu, but as many as fifty people sometimes were served in one day. Lodging was fifty cents a night. --

Kathleen and Stan are planning a leaf-lookers expedition in late September across northern Wisconsin with a night or two in Door County. The internet is useful, they've found some nice hotels, but she'd like something really cute in a Bed and Breakfast. Nothing as cute as the Rolfsrud Hotel, of course. Ideas?
