This page is a special dedication to Keven Witte.

This is Julie, Chelsy's mom. The reason I am dedicating this page to Keven Witte is because he grew up in Beardsley, Minnesota. My father grew up in Beardsley MN, and my mother in Browns Valley, MN. The towns are very close.

As a child growing up, I spent my summers and holidays in Beardsley Minnesota. I have very fond memories of Beardsley. My Grandfather was a carpenter who operated a saw shop in his garage. He then worked part time at the local hardware store. I remember spending Saturdays at the Hardware store, and my Grandfather giving me rides in the wheel barrels inside the store. My most precious childhood memories were with my Grandparents Pete and Christine Peterson. The town of Beardsley will always have a special place in my heart.

I Also had a great uncle and aunt from my mom's side who lived in Beardsley. Donald and Lavonne Welch.

I still have a great aunt living in Beardsley. When speaking to Keven's step mom I told her the family history. She knows my mothers side of the family also in Browns Valley Minnesota.
