Bowdon, ND

Feedback from readers of the newly resurrected BOWDON GUARDIAN is challenging the staff of volunteers to top their first issue printed in January, 2008.
Here is an email from the former pastor of the Lutheran church in Bowdon: “We have moved to Idaho last May, where I am pastor at a little congregation in Horseshoe Bend; but we continue to have a heart for the vitality and prosperity of Bowdon and the people. I want to tell you how excited I was to read through every word of the Bowdon Guardian. Your hard work and talents for this newsletter shine through every page. I am directed to resources and contacts in a clear, easy format. The layout is inviting and easy to read. The photos add a rich dimension to the articles. I like your business spotlight, as just starters. The articles reveal spirit of optimism based on concrete action. Anyway, I could go on, but suffice it to say, how welcome your work is. I believe your work will make a huge difference in the future of Bowdon. Communication is so important in gathering people together.” Rev. Marilyn deVeer
In a letter from Moorhead, Minn. Paul Eidbo writes,: “I have met and talked with many people with former ties to BOWDON and in every instant they are still very interested and in many cases I am sure they would be willing to help support you in these projects as I am if they were informed of them. Enclosed are my membership renewal dues for 2008. Keep up the good work!!”
As well as a glowing write-up on the new Guardian in the Harvey Press by Heather Knodel Melson, the editor of the former Willow City Centurion, Mildred Rothgarn, wrote to offer her congratulations.
Tenuous connections to Bowdon of readers from out of town and out of state, such as great aunts who used to live in Bowdon, have been renewed through the Guardian. Requests for subscriptions accompany many letters of encouragement.
