Pictured here are some of the members of the Sognefjordlag who enjoyed a cruise
on Albert Lea Lake aboard the "pelican Breeze". The crew climbed aboard around
fourteen hundred (2:00 PM) and set "sail" from Frank Hall Park on the northwest
shore of the lake. The "Pelican Breeze" was a 40 foot double-decker pontoon boat
with lots of comfortable seating and refresments served by the "first mate" Kelly
Schultz who told us of the history of the lake and of Albert Lea. In conversation
with "First Mate Schultz", it turned out that she was of Norwegian descent on her
mother's side and coincidentally, her heritage was from Sognefjord area in
Norway. Our chief recruiter, Edie Syftestad, immediately signed her up as a
member and Kelly has promised that she will be with us in Decorah at our
Sognefjordlag next summer.
