A bright moment in a dark year

What a wretched year 1938 was worldwide -- thank God our Sprick and Augustine relatives had the good sense to get out of Deutschland in the 1800s, before things got really horrific. Here's a bright moment in that year out near Theilman, in Wabasha County in southeastern Minnesota. These are our beloved aunt and uncle Annetta Sprick and Harter Kulseth. These true soulmates would be married two years later, right smack in the middle of the 1940 Armistice Day blizzard. Look how happy they are! And look at that car! Hey! What happened to that car? Shouldn't one of us have inherited it? Who's hiding it in their garage?
