Bunad Dilemma

Marg and Berni Aakre and myself had been elected to attend the District Lodge #1 S/N 366 Biennial Convention in July of 1972 to receive the charter for our newly created lodge. We three packed Bunads and left for Sioux City, Iowa.

For that meeting, Bernie had dressed early and left for the Aventino Hotel. When Marge and I were getting dressed, I discovered that I had forgotten my white blouse that should go with my bunad.

Marge hustled over to the hotel and brought Bernie back. She mad him put on a different shirt and I wore his shirt under my bunad.

Teasing went on for a long time after that I “stole the shirt” right off Bernie’s back.
