FRED FORSYTHE

Fred Forsythe Family

Fred, Leone and Valorayne Forsythe came to Pollock from Drake, N. D., in the 1940s. We lived in the west end of Old Pollock.
I taught at the Reierson School east of Pollock in 1946-1947. Then I taught the 6th grade in 1948 at the Pollock School, moved to the primary room in 1949 and taught there until we moved up to New Pollock.
Valorayne graduated from Pollock High School and then went on to graduate from nursing school in Bismarck. Later she married a college professor from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn. They have made their home there and have two sons and one daughter.
I have had the pleasure of having the nicest group of children to teach and the finest group of supportive parents to work with. They were just wonderful. I am glad I came to Pollock - a town of good people. And, here I intend to stay.
