Ken Luebke served in Vietnam from July 4th 1967 to July 4th 1968. He was with the 4th Infantry, C Company, 1st of the 12th. They dug and built bunkers at night to protect them from mortar fire, and help make a protective perimeter.

At five o'clock, on Thursday evening, August 13, come and join us on the Threshing grounds, where we will help Ken dig and build a bunker, and listen to his stories. This is being sponsored by the Rosholt Threshermen, and the Rosholt Historical Society. Some of you, bring a shovel. Other Viet Nam vets are especially invited, and will be noted. There will be no charge of any kind. 🇺🇸🪖

🕊️ Honoring the Legacy of
Beverly Erickson

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of a truly wonderful lady and a cornerstone of our community, Bev.
For those who have visited the Traverse County Museum, you know that Bev was more than just a volunteer—she was the heart of the operation. Her passion for preserving our local heritage was unmatched, and her deep knowledge of our history was a treasure that simply cannot be replaced.
Bev didn't just manage artifacts; she kept our stories alive. Whether she was guiding a tour, researching a family lineage, or ensuring the museum doors stayed open, she did it all with a dedication that inspired everyone around her.
We will miss her presence, her wisdom, and her kindness more than words can say.
Please join us in keeping Bev’s family and friends in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. Rest in peace, Bev. Thank you for everything you gave to Traverse County. 🕯️
