VALLEY LEGEND 1975 Volume XLV Advisor: Mrs. Gallagher Editor: Judy Helleland In Memory The picture shows here, a boy reaching for manhood. But his being is not here for us to share, Leaving behind tears from where he stood. Never will we see his face, Nor his eyes so blue. His smile will never fade our memory, Or the way he spoke to me and you. Some may say his soul is still searching For Cod's blue and white heavenly skies. But the answer lies not in their brains— He is at rest in paradise. His love was like a token. Cherished, played with, and even broken. To some it was a painful thing when lost— Taking loved one's hearts. Through blurred eyes which believed That such a memory will ever part. His warmth reminded us of a sunrise Beaming forth through a radiant heart. Let not the memories be sad and tearful; But think on him as he once was. Though many of us knew him not. His lire, so short, still had a cause. Dean Alvin Meldahl was born April 3, 1957, the son of Alvin and Lorraine Meldahl. Dean was fatally injured in an automobile accident on January 31,1975, on the way to a basketball game in Rushford. He leaves behind his twin brother, Dale; two other brothers, Scott and Brian; and three sisters, Barbara, Cheryl, and Lori. Dean was active in the Rushford High School FFA Chapter serving as the 1974-75 Vice-President. He was a member of the Highland Prarie Lutheran Church and served as PTM Secretary of the Luther League. The Norway Co-Getters 4-H Club kept him busy as Recreation Leader. He enjoyed roller skating and having a good time with his friends.
