Donn and Donna Larson were asked to share about their cottage in Canada at Cloud Bay on the North Shore of Lake Superior. They have been part-timers there since 1969. Unlike many North Shore places, Cloud Bay is protected, so a boat can be docked there safely. Donn and Donna have used it as a base to cruise the lake, especially Isle Royale and the Canadian shore, which is more hospitable to boaters than the Minnesota coastline. They no longer have a cruising boat but still enjoy the fishing and picnicking along the shore, which is mostly undeveloped. Donn’s frequent articles in Lake Superior Magazine include one on Cloud Bay; you can read it at: http://www. lakesuperior.com/blogs/superiornotes/304jrnl. Paul and Kiko Nakamura, Gardena, CA, report that Paul has been fishing several times this year. He is still working full time at Oriental Lutheran Church in Torrance, CA. Myrna Thorsell Wolf, Phoenix, AZ, writes, “Long time no see! Thanks for the good memories of 1947–50! My Gustie hubby (Ted ’50) has been gone for about 10 years now, but I wouldn’t have had him at all except for dear old GAC! Always a Gustavian, Myrna.” Louise Borg Bergmann, Oxnard, CA, substitutes on the organ or piano at various churches. She reads Gustavus’s “Reading in Common” books. Denny Lofstrom, Tanzania, writes, “During the next 14 months, Paula and I will be touring the U.S., Canada, and Alaska in our effort to raise funds for the first children’s hospital in Tanzania.” (At Zinga, north of Dar-es-Salaam.) n D orothy Johnson Lutz (1951classofficers@gustavus.edu)
