Linda,

There are several Morinville's listed in my phone book. One of them is
Scott and Judy Morinville. She is a very good friend of my daughter Shari
who now lives in Atlanta. The Morinville's all have address of Rural
Brooks, MN. Judy and Scott can be reached at 218-698-4282. I'm sure they
will try to help you. Tell them Shari's mom told you to call. Brooks is
big farm country.

Carol
