I was born March 28, 1936 to Rev. Oscar and Melva Rud in Fairdale (Walsh county) North Dakota. Most of my growing up and educational years were spent in South Dakota. Since 1964 I have lived and worked as a physician (retired in 2000) in Luverne, (Rock county) Minnesota. In the past 10 years, I have developed an interest in family history, genealogy, and volunteer activities with the Rock County (MN) Historical Society. I am willing to help with requests for information and photo's of Rock County cemeteries.
