The house at 709 8th St. S., Moorhead, hasn’t always been a part of Concordia College.
The writings of Swedish artist Birger Sandzén are the subject of a book, “Birger Sandzén on Art, Music and Transcendence,” written by James M. Kaplan and published by the Nordic Studies Press.
My father, Gerald Wilson Hunter, was born in Osnabrock, N.D. on May 9, 1908. He was raised by his mother in Golden Valley, N.D. For more than 40 years, he was an obstetrician/gynecologist at the Fargo Clinic. But before that, he had another career.

A 1976 story in The Forum noted that “Northport Shopping Center in Fargo will mark its 20th year of operation next week at a time in its history when sales are hitting new highs.”
