Your grandfather did an amazing thing that night to find all his boys and take care of them through the night. It completes the story to know that at least one of the boys kept in touch with his old scoutmaster.

George Bergstrom was my grandfather, and that flood with the boys was a pivotal point in his life. I have heard and read it many many times, but never with all the back stories about what was going on around them during the same floods. Grandpa wrote in his lifestory was that Clyde and Lorin were smallest, youngest, couldn’t swim, and were the last two to be found. I am always amazed at how frightening that must have been. Lorin came and spoke at my grandfathers funeral (1984) and spoke of the lessons he learned from his long ago scoutmaster.
