Halvorson: Driving
Nov 29, 2018
Did you ever stop and wonder how many miles you’ve driven in your lifetime?
I couldn’t begin to count.
I got my first license in 1939 when I turned fifteen. All I did was pay a fee of 35 cents. No lessons and I didn’t even have a car.
I convinced the guys that had cars to teach me to drive....

Halvorson: What time is it?
Nov 14, 2018
I’ve been surrounded by clocks all my adult life.
My father repaired clocks and my husband repaired clocks. Somehow I ended up surrounded by clocks and no one to repair them.
I finally gave in and found someone to repair, clean and adjust all my clocks. At last they are all running smoothly,...
Letter: United by the goal of improving Lake City
Nov 14, 2018
To the editor:
Leaving the Oct. 25 candidates’ forum, I had a conversation with a stranger, a woman I met in the foyer as I exited city hall.
