Relatives in the News

My uncle hit the news yesterday. The story was about how nursing homes are changing with the times:

Lyngblomsten Care Center has changed dramatically since 1912, when a group of Norwegian Lutheran women started caring for 34 residents.

Ahh - Norwegian Lutheran women circa 1912 - sounds like a fun bunch.

Here's what my uncle had to say about it:

"It really helps to have the same people around," said Orloue Gisselquist, 85, a retired professor at Augsburg College who moved to Lyngblomsten three years ago. "They're good people, pretty much friends. I moved here from another home where I don't think they even knew my name."
