This is a page from one of Erling N. Rolfsrud's many scrapbook collections, this one labeled "Friends." Cold weather makes a great time to dig through forgotten stuff. Stan and his late father never had a conversation about a possible namesake, but just think about it, would you seriously name someone Stanley if you didn't have a very good reason to do so? We know about Rebecca, Agnes and Virgil. Could Mr. Gunsten be Stan's namesake? Google says he died in 2000 at the age of 83, little else is known so far. Who is Stanley Gunsten? Looks like he married Irene Rosengren. Will Mom remember a Stanley Gunsten? And who are the Army guys in the photo? Let's find out. Research under way.
