Celebrating 100 years of the Stanaway Family
EVELETH—The descendants of Lloyd and Lily Stanaway gathered recently, nearly 100 years after their wedding day. The couple married on November 16, 1926, at the St. Louis County Courthouse in Virginia, Minnesota. They raised 14 children: Lloyd, Roy, Jim, Thomas, Cloie, Donald, Richard, Mary Lou, Lloydine, David, Jack (John), Bob, Gary, and Sandy. Sadly, they lost two others, Baby Jerry and Baby Lee shortly after they were born. All four of the remaining children:Donald, Bob, Lloydine and Sandy, were in attendance for the reunion held at Camp Chicagami, August 28 through August 30. An estimated 160 relatives, representing five generations were on hand for the three-day event, along with some cousins. Relatives traveled from all over, including Colorado and the state of Virginia. “We rented the camp for the whole weekend—some stayed in campers, and some stayed in the little buildings for camp,” Sandy, the youngest of Lloyd and Lily’s children said. A planning committee made up of family members came up with fun ideas for all ages, including a split-the-pot, white elephant sale, raffle, and kids’ games “that went on for hours.” John Stanaway, the son of Jack (real name John), was one of the third-generation family members to

Windigo Island by William Kent Krueger #bookreview #audiobook #series
I borrowed the audiobook from the library. When the body of a teenage Ojibwe girl washes up on the shore of an island in Lake Superior, the residents of the nearby Bad Bluff reservation whisper that it was the work of a deadly mythical beast, the Windigo, or a vengeful spirit called Michi Peshu. Such stories have been told by the Ojibwe people for generations, but they don’t explain how the girl and her friend, Mariah Arceneaux, disappeared a year ago. At the request of the Arceneaux family, private investigator Cork O’Connor takes on the case.
