Today Pat Jensen-Bock and Jude Jensen, long-time sisters and Danes, traveled to Kimballton and Elk Horn Iowa to get a sense of the Danish Museum and surroundings. We toured the museum exhibits, chatted with several staff members, ate lunch at the Danish Inn and finally bought a metal plaque with our grandparent's names to be placed on the Wall of Honor. We were previewing this area for the July 2011 Jensen Reunion.
With this blog, we hope to involve family members in the planning and the reunion itself. After all, we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of our family's arrival in America. They have yet to ask us to leave, most of us anyway.
Brenda Jensen Coates and Barb Jensen Reasner are also assigned the task of helping to create the Iowa Reunion this summer. We will need your understanding and support... and at some point a commitment from you who are able to attend.
Phone calls will be accepted by Jude at this number: 319-400-0688. Leave the others alone or respond by posting to the blog, thank you very much.
