For Charlotte Renner Locklear, it was another chance to return home. She was raised north of Richardton on a farm in the 1950s. But Sunday (Oct. 13), she was in Dunn Center for a reading of her book, “Greener Pastures,” in the meeting room at the Dunn County Museum. In addition, the author also conducted a workshop on writing techniques, including how to focus and how to write poetry. Her book is the result of many years of research into her family history, both in North Dakota and before her family emigrated to the United States. One side of her family, the Kopps, came from the Krasna area of Russia. One of her biggest sources for her family history was in the memoirs of Father Anthony Kopp, something she found in the library of North
