Lisbon, N.D. I expect to live the rest of my life there. My wife, Donna,
is recovering from back surgery in Darien, and will join me in a room next
door when she becomes mobile. The veterans home is a fabulous, hun-
dred-million—dollar health care and retirement complex on a 93-acre carn-
pus —' no other place like it on the planet. Your own Dan Stenvold
has
v the status of a rock star there for his unceasing devotion and
razor-sharp
intellect in furthering the stature of all the veterans in North Dakota and
even further out. He is truly a legend with his friend, Mark, who is ad-
ministrator of the Veterans Home.”
Kelly, who is 95 years of age, was the man behind the Walsh County
Press until his retirement in 2001. He came back for a short visit with his
son Sean. He joked that he offered a prepared statement so he would not
have to take out a half-page ad in the Press to defend his comments.
“I’m sure some of you will wonder if I’ve gotten over my love affair
for myself and Park River. But I’d have to answer ‘No way, Jose’ on
both
counts.”
Kelly reassured the crowd that he is in good health for the most part,
“I’m still buying green bananas and will try to disappoint the
undertak-
ers for a couple more years yet.
“Words haven’t been born yet to describe how happy I am to be here
this afternoon With each and every one of you.” He noted the friends and
spouses in attendance he held dear, some for more than 40 years.
“In closing, I am prompted to cite a line of wisdom one written by a
literary hero of mine, Franciscan priest, the Rev. Father Richard
Rohr"We
are all looking for the Immortal Diamond, something loyal and true, some-
thing we can always depend on, something unforgettable and shining’. And
'
that, my loyal fiiends, is you to a T. God love and bless you, I sure
do!”
The event, organized in part by Stenvold, was a way for Kelly to both
reconnect with old friends and a way for the community to honor him by
awarding him a Quilt of Valor.
Kelly served in the Navy during World War II from 1944' to 1945, dis-
charged at the rank of petty ofiicer. Stenvold nominated Kelly to receive
a Quilt of Honor, having previously been awarded one himself. The quilt
