Thank You from Art Nebben

(Munga Tuk) Many Thanks for all the cards, gifts, hugs, handshakes, memories, and best wishes from everyone who braved the icy winter weather to attend my 95th birthday party. Thanks for old folks who shared memories of years ago, Old folks who addressed cards to “Old Man Nebben” Special thanks to my family who arranged the party, prepared everything, food, flowers, made everything possible.  So with all the hugs, gifts, good wishes and prayers from all you good folks it was much easier to get a year older. Thanks and god bless you all.  May this Norwegian Blessing from one Norske to another (my baby sister, 82 years old) work for you as it has for me.

Thanks for a wonderful day, God bless you all. Old Man Art Nebben
