The Ken Burns series on PBS, "The War", told the stories of four soldiers in WWII. The series was seven episodes and a great series. Quentin Aanenson was a pilot from Luverne MN. I decided to drive to Luverne on Wednesday since it was only 35 miles east of Sioux Falls. When I see a documentary or read a book about a place, I like to see it in person. Quentin died in 2008 but the museum in town featured him in a video and the displays.

Downtown Luverne. The War showed Luvernen and it looked about the
same but with 1940's cars and trucks. |
