My Aunt Kathy, mother to the two brothers, Garry and Bruce, who operate the farm. She is a historian and is a wealth of information about our family. She was a wonderful co-host for the weekend reunion. She still lives on the farm that she raised her family on, Garry, Bruce, Laura, and Howard.
This is Aunt Kathy when I first knew her as a young mom.

Garry and Bruce, brothers, lived on the farm with Gerald and Kim, brothers. Their fathers, Jake and Leonard Boldt owned and operated the farm that our grandfather, Jacob B. Boldt raised his eight children on. Today Bruce and Howard still live on the same farm, and Garry lives just down the road. Garry and Bruce operate the original farm as partners, just as their fathers did. In their father's day, it was mixed farming. Today it is a grain farm, working 33 quarter sections of land. That is more than 8 sq. miles.
