I started reading this article because my husband, Brian O'Toole is the Vice Chairman of US Wheat and because we have become friends of Ron and Shirley Suppes over the years through our association in the wheat commissions. I got to the end of the article and it actually gave me chills when Carl Grimstad was quoted and mentioned to be a friend of Julius Iverson. Julius Iverson is also MY great grandfather! His daughter Jennie Iverson Daley was my grandmother. Her son LeRoy, also known by his friends as Archie, was my Dad. Dad's family all settled in Fertile Township in Dakota Territory, which is along the Park River and just east of the town of Park River,North Dakota where I grew up. My husband, Brian O'Toole is a fourth generation farmer from Crystal, North Dakota, which is 13 miles north of the town of Park River and together we are raising the next generation of farmers. We have been celebrating the Earth everyday for generations! I am curious to know which of the Iversons was the author and I are related through!! (down the line from our great grandfather, Julius) It's a small Earth!! Sara Daley O'Toole
