Comment: Keepe up the good work i have allways enjoyed reading the newspaper online and keeping up with whats going on in ederlin.

Comment: Thanks for a great web site. Raised in New Rockford in the 50's, I was roommate with Starr Bachellor @ Fargo's YWCA. I am trying to locate her.

Comment: A few years ago I found a website that shows all of ND's online newspapers, and so now I've been reading the Independent every week. I like the 'Back When" column, especially stuff around the mid '60s to the mid '70s. I'm 61 and always read the obits, hoping my name isn't there, though some friends have been....

Comment: I love reading Ellen Gross's stories. They read like Garrison Keillor, or like a prose version of Norman Rockwell. She should write a book !

Comment: Great way to keep up with the news in Enderlin and Lisbon. Seems like lots of changes since heading to Texas for the winter....see y'all soon enough.

Comment: Thank you for writing the article about me; my husband and my brother, Mike Martin, were in a conspiracy about this. I had no idea it was being written until one of my classmates sent me an email. Indeed, I am quite humbled and honored to receive the 100 Great Iowa Nurses award. Still am in a state of shock!

Comment: I enjoy reading the online edition. Whenever A. P. Beleal is mentioned (as he was in this week’s Back When - 70 Years Ago), I copy his daughter, Janice Beleal Hickson. She was seven years old when the family left Enderlin. I met Janice at our local "Curves" a couple years ago.

Comment: I enjoyed reading the paper although there aren't very many familiar names. We lived in Enderlin l963-73. Darrell practiced Veterinary Medicine. Enderlin was a great place to raise a young family. We are retired and live in Brookings, SD.

Comment: I love that you have a Back When section, I have been gone so many years but that is where I recognize people I knew.Thankyou! Good Job

Comment: I am always anxious for Thursday to come so I can read the home town paper. I enjoy the Back When section, and of course have to check the obits. Thanks for doing such a good job of keeping all of us up to date.

Comment: You did a bang up job with the new web page. I often visit to read the news about my Dad's (William C. Cole) old home town. Dad's parents were Will & Bertha Fernow Cole. Brothers Harvey & Willard Cole and sister Gladys Boileau wife to Henry. I grew up in Syracuse, N.Y. forever hearing stories of Enderlin around 1920 to 1943. The stories were endless and the characters remained Dad's friends for life. The railroad was a big chapter during that time, what an adventure that time period had to have been. The Fernow & Trapp families were also relatives, Dad shared many a story of the hard work before the modern equipment lightened the work load. I vacationed in Enderlin many times over the years and I miss it. I will be checking in often to stay updated with the news and events. I love how several of the family names are still in the area after 100 plus years. Feel free to share a story if my family name rings a bell with you.        

Comment: Stopped to learn more about the car show and enjoyed reading your newspaper.
