Sunset Remembered

I have to tell you, Mom, Edwin and I had an opportunity to join other former residents of Sunset this past Sunday in Spokane for a Sunset Reunion. What a wonderful day it was!!! There were folks that lived their prior to our living there and folks that were there when we were there -- don't think there were any current residents in attendance. We numbered about 30 in attendance.

From Spokane we drove to Endicott to see cousin Jared before his leaving for the west side. Let me tell you, this trip took us down memory lane. First through Malden, Pine City with a detour to Sunset before going on to St. John and Endicott. It had been many years since any of us had traveled these roads and what fun it was. Sunset is about the same as our days there. One thing we did notice (and Dick you'll enjoy this) the Knudsen family home is gone. There are some new homes since our days there to replace some that are gone. Something that never ceases to amaze me is how different a child's perspective is in size -- Sunset seems smaller today than when I was a kid living there!!
