January 2024 - Allen Ehrke

 Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and is looking forward to 2024! I will get you caught up on Allen’s family:


Tim (the oldest) and Allen R.(the youngest) live in Viborg, SD. Tim works at the local school a couple days a week, and both volunteer with Feed South Dakota. They also keep busy with their pets - a dog and a cat. 


Greg and his wife Mindy moved to Tyler, MN this past fall as Mindy became the head pastor at the Tyler parish. Greg retired from teaching about four years ago but continues to substitute teach occasionally. Their oldest son, Chris, lives in Tea, SD and works for Wells Fargo bank. Their daughter Sara welcomed her first child, Ronen, with husband Chad in March. They are living in Sioux Falls, SD. Daniel, their youngest son, lives with his wife Reiko and their children Lionel, Iris, and Daisy in Jacksonville, FL - they certainly enjoyed a warmer winter than us in the Midwest!


Stuart works for Twin City Fans and lives in Aberdeen, SD. Brian also lives in Aberdeen and has been retired for the last several years. He stays busy with his NFL fantasy drafts and fishing trips. 


I (Jean) and my husband Eric moved from Nebraska to Madison, SD a couple years ago. Eric retired in March 2023. We keep busy traveling, fishing, and golfing at the course that’s about a block from our house! Our son Nick and his wife Kylie live in Sioux Falls, SD with their dog, Hachi. Nick is a recruiter, and Kylie is in the dog grooming business. Daughter Hannah lives in Minneapolis, MN with her dog, Millie. She works for Cargill on their insurance team. 


We all try to get together several times a year - now that Eric and I live in South Dakota, it’s been easier to host family gatherings for Easter, 4th of July, and Thanksgiving. 


We wish you all a very happy 2024!

OK, so what's been happening over the past year on Fran's family tree branch?  Lots!  I will start with her children's families in order of age, beginning with Judy's family.
