Book Description
A Wyoming historian shares an in-depth look at the historic storm and its devastating aftermath through the stories of those who survived. The Blizzard of 1949 took Wyoming and neighboring states by surprise. In January of that year, snow, wind and frigid temperatures devastated the northern plains. The storm stranded hundreds of motorists on the highways and stalled nearly two dozen trains at depots throughout the state. For nearly two months, towns and ranches were marooned by enormous drifts, some reportedly eighty feet tall. Communities pulled together to assist not only their neighbors but also anyone unable to escape the snowstorm. Drawing on meticulous research and numerous in-person interviews, author and historian James Fuller recounts these harrowing stories of tenacity and fortitude.

Book Description
THE BLIZZARD'S SECRET, by Allan Young Albia is a typical mid-western county seat town of four thousand people -- minus one. It is located near Iowa's biggest lake, and surrounded by other beautiful lakes and rivers, including the three small fish-filled ponds called Cottonwood Pits. When an early blizzard finally relinquishes what the ponds are hiding, the area will never be the same again. The snow-covered secret not only rewrites the community's history, but determines its future as well -- and all the residents are affected. Zacharias Popek drives in to visit his favorite clergyman, only to find him in the hospital, and stumbles into a series of events which takes all of his deduction capabilities, plus his physical abilities, to solve the mysteries-while staying alive.

Book Description
The alumni of a senior high school class are invited to their first reunion-the 25th. Each is asked to write a biography of their life along with memories, good and bad. The 12 students attended all 12 grades together in the small rural town of Mozart, North Dakota, with 6 of the students from in town and 6 from a nearby Hutterite colony. The difference in traditions and culture posed some problems for both students and teachers. The class reunion is to be held in the converted Mozart Grade School Bed and Breakfast, is scheduled for the middle of December, and with bad weather always a risk. An unexpected 2-day blizzard snow bounds almost everyone. In the process everyone and everything comes out safe with many unresolved situations from the past being dealt with, as are unresolved romances and broken marriages. The reunion ends with several surprises. Roger Quam lives in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He enjoys gardening, writing, classical music, and church work. In 1963 he met Martha on a Greyhound bus and they have been happily married for forty-seven years. They have four children, two grandchildren and attend Prairie Hills Covenant Church in Sioux Falls. He attended the U of Minn. and has had four careers: managing in various industries, owning a business, and working at a Christian rescue mission. He retired in 2006 from Citibank. In 2003 he was one of twenty navy dads invited to spend four days with their sons on the USS Michigan Trident Submarine on a Tiger Cruise. Roger has authored three novels The Road To Gambela, and The Tiger Cruise, all published by Xulon Press.
