Over the years, myself and my wife, Meridy Strack ( daughter of Florian & Vivian Check), often visited Albert, Loretta, Vernon and Ambrose at their Rosholt home farm with our children, Sasha and Brian. I can still see Albert driving a tractor with Vernon & Ambrose close by--sometimes riding on a hay wagon. If you stood close to the back door of the farmhouse, the sweet smell of a pie would often be detected. Vernon over the years, would visit our Christmas tree farm in Iola to help out. Today's 30' tall balsam fir on the former Iola tree farm and some bordering highway 161 west of Iola, were seedlings planted from the Check farm. So sorry I wasn't able to see Vernon in recent years to hear his fishing and hunting stories. What a wonderful father , husband and man, who will always be in our hearts and mind. God Bless Christine & Family---Al & Audrey Strack & Family.
