TheAuthorsDaughter Posted February 1, 2020 #1 Posted February 1, 2020 Stumbled upon this group and appreciate the amount of detail and accuracy that you all so carefully try to follow. My name is Arina and I am one of Michael Mjelde’s daughters and while doing some research for him on Glory found myself scrolling thru and enjoying the photos of everyone’s work! druxey, VTHokiEE, jud and 6 others 9 Quote

rwiederrich Posted June 10, 2020 #13 Posted June 10, 2020 Arina...hello. I am missing your father...since this Corona nonsense. We never got to meet up. Everything hit hard and I'm hoping everything is well and Mike is well. I'm still planning on getting together with him...just don't know if he is able at this time. Please let him know I am still looking forward to our meeting.

TheAuthorsDaughter Posted June 10, 2020 Author #14 Posted June 10, 2020 Hi - my dad is doing ok. He’s actually been going to work this entire time as he’s deemed essential. Fortunately the office where he works was able to have half their staff work from home but his job not so easy. They are practicing the social distancing as my mother is medically vulnerable. We are even socially distancing within the family so as to protect the various family members. Thank goodness for zoom, FaceTime, email and the phone! I will I’ll let him know that you’d still like to meet up. He does enjoy anything to do with The Glory 😊 druxey, lmagna and Vladimir_Wairoa 3 Quote
