Burr Oak, IA 7-16-94
Visited here today, a hotel they managed for a year in 1876. Very interesting. Then drove up US 52 to Rochester, MN. Saw some Amish women selling baked goods & jellies out of their wagon on the way.
This morning visited 2 of the Amana colonies, which I vaguely remembered. Tomorrow I think we'll rest then go to Twin Cities on Monday. Conference starts Monday.
Love - M.V.
Holland Hall Tower postcard - mailed 1994. Captioned: The tower of Holland Hall is a landmark at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota. Built in 1925 and modeled after a part of the fortress-monastery of Mont St. Michel in Normandy, France, Holland Hall set the date for much of the stone architecture which was to follow as the St. Olaf campus expanded.

I don't know how much of Northfield you remember, but St. Olaf has such a beautiful campus. The emphasis this week is on singing the psalms, which is very interesting. They keep us busy from 7AM-10PM, which makes for a long day but certainly get your $'s worth.
Will probably arrive in NV on Sat. night after dinner. Appreciate your TLC for Ginny.
Love, MV
