Thursday, April 17, 2014 Hello Family and Friends, I am rebuilding the family site and
I couldn’t take this page down. Some
of the people who have left messages are no longer with us. These notes will outlast all of our
Facebook and other commercial sites.
Social media has gone wild and indications are that the old fashioned
bulletin boards are coming back… That is what this is. There is so many ways to communicate that
information overload sometimes occurs and things get lost. This bulletin board can be accessed by the
public; that is why it must be monitored.
All proper and relative information will be passed through and
posted. Love to all, Dean |

Monday, June 11, 2007 9:20 PM Hi Ben, Thanks for the post, it is great hearing from you. Is ND big sky country like Montana? I sometimes think that the family has forgotten about the Web Site. I love getting posts. I would like to see some pictures of you, I usually post picture of participants at the bottom of the page. Your great-great-uncle... Dean |

April 29, 2006 8:32 AM (Megan and the Gang) Hey
y'all, it's Megan. I can't wait to see all of y'all again. It feels like it's
been almost forever. I don't really have much to say so I thought I would
give you an update on the gang's life. Jake is in the sixth grade, and he just turned twelve,
March 14th. His grades are fine and he loves to play baseball still, and is
playing for a travel team. Jake is going to try out for our middle school
team later this year. Jake is about five feet tall and is about as skinny as
a stick. I am
in the eighth grade, and I am turning fourteen, July 13th. My grades are fine
and I have just finished playing junior varsity softball for
Grissom High. I am about five feet, eight inches tall. My
dad has been promoted to an investigator and we are all very proud. Mom
continues to grow grey hair trying to keep up with me and Jake. She says that
she need extra senior vitamins (geritol)
to keep up with all of us. lol That is all for now,
hope to see y'all soon. ;-) |

Saturday, December 4, 2004 (Dean) Happy 70th Birthday Preben... See the Preben page of the family web. Welcome Home Nelse... We are so proud of what you are doing. Congratulations to Erin and Lance... The big day is June 26, 2005 in Washington, DC. With love to all, Carolee and Dean |
|
Tuesday, September 14, 2004 4:06 PM (Dean) Hi all, I have been snowed under setting up new classes and lining up instructors. Hopefully things will slow down soon. Classes started this week with 52 clients enrolled and over 150 memberships. I am in the process of trying to completely redo the Family Web Site. In the meantime please check out Michele's great pictures at... www.msnusers.com/Christiansen3 I am working on a family CD which will probably not be finished until Christmas. With love, Carolee and Dean |
|
Tuesday, September 14, 2004 10:17 AM (Evelyn) Are you and Carolee O.K. Miss your web site. Love Evelyn |

Friday, July 2, 2004 10:15 AM (Dean) I am sorry to announce that the Family
Reunion for this year has been cancelled. There are several reasons,
mainly that family members have other obligations. Evelyn, Ingrid, and
I were the only ones with firm commitments. As we wished to visit and share
time with others we decided to cancel. I feel that having these
reunions every year is a little much. In the future we need to consider
spacing them out. We hope everyone has a great summer. Carolee and Dean |
|
Thursday, June 03, 2004 9:27 PM (Dick and Carole
Goers) Hello all. Haven't checked in on the family
room in a while so got caught up. We are both fine. Been making a lot of trips.
To Iowa for our granddaughters Graduation from Nurses training and to Florida
for our grandson's graduation from High school and to finish celebrating his
sisters graduation from college. Planning another trip to Florida for the
Miss Florida pageant. She doesn't expect to win but going for moral support.
Thank you Edna for your kind words about our Ashley (Lynn's daughter) but the
best part is she is just as pretty inside. Leg has healed fine and now we
just need to stay home long enough to get caught up. Our best wishes to all.
Dick and Carole |

Wednesday, March 24, 2004 3:15 PM (Penny and Edna) Greetings from Clinton. I am here with Aunt
Edna. They let her out of the hospital this morning. I believe she was
released for good behavior. I am going to key a message from her: |
|
March 08, 2004 (Larry) Jacob will be graduating 12 MAR 04. Donna
and I will be attending and spending the weekend in Waukegan. He will then be
going to South Carolina for more training. He is going to be an Engineer of
all things! Just kidding, Dean, Todd, etc. |
|
March 06, 2004 (Todd) My goodness. There hasn't been a post on here in over a month. Larry...tell us more about Jacob in the Navy. Would love to hear what is going on with him. |
|
January 23, 2004 (Dean) Ah... Great Lakes, Hottest place in the summer and the coldest in the winter. I can still have bad dreams about Boot Camp. I guess the worst part for me was home sickness. I was there in the summer of 54. Edna can tell you about the winters there. Hope all is well with everyone. Catch you all later. Dean |
|
January 23, 2004 (Larry) Jacob is in the Navy. He left 13 JAN 04. |
|
January
09, 2004 (Dean) Just a reminder... This is 2004 and the reunion is fast approaching. Please go to the Reunion Web Page and get the information... Make your reservations early for the best selections. As soon as I get an idea of how many are planning to come I will start firming up activities and provide a list of possible things to do on the reunion page. Everyone is invited and it would be great to have a large turnout. Just sitting around and swapping memories is a lot of fun. If you have not attended a reunion before give it a try, everyone always has a good time. Keep me informed and e-mail any questions you may have to me. Dean |

09, 2004 (Dean) Hi, If they are two older guys???
They were probably Grandpa and Urb acting
up... They actually dared each other to do that and then they went to
the Saturday night dance at the German Hall. Needless to say they were
the life of the Ball. Your Grandpa always knew how to have a good time.

06, 2004 (Donna) Hi All-- Special note to Penny -- I'm Jenny's sister, Donna, and I've
been checking in on the site. I laughed out loud when I saw your question
about snipe hunting. Not only do we remember it, but it has to be one of our
best memories of Iowa. I recall going home to Jersey right after that trip
and playing the trick on my own group of friends. |

24,2003 (Dean) Hi everyone and Merry Christmas. I sent a greeting today with links in it. I later discovered that the links would not work for me, I added .us to the URLs such that the family in Denmark could use them. If you wish to use the links from this country you must remove the .us. Dean |

November 19, 2003 (Michele) Hello All! |
|
November
15, 2003 (Michele) Hello Everyone, |
|
November
12, 2003 (Dean) Thanks for the information Sue. We will continue to keep them in our prayers as well as Mark. This is the first I have heard that Mark is having problems. We will continue to pray and we sure are looking for speedy recovery for both. How are you and Cheyenne doing? (Dean) |
|
November
12, 2003 (Sue) I am forwarding this to some that don't seem
to be on Nelse and Michelle list, and I know that
there are more that might like to know. I talked to Grandma and Grandpa
Mcdonald today. They said it has been tough, but Nelse and Michelle were very relieved when the doctors
sent Kaden to Iowa City, The doctors there are "Optimistic" but
said to be prepared for a "long haul." Nelse
is working on getting his two week leave extended and is confident that it will
be. As far as Mark is concerned after three days of radiation therapy,
he's doing fine and in good spirits. |
|
November
09, 2003 (Dean) I am sure both Nelse and Kaden Yahn will be in all of our prayers. Thank you Evelyn for the request. I see a great need for this family room and the flow of family information. Presuming, assuming, and surmising can sure lead to missed opportunities. Opportunities for caring and sharing. May God bless us all. Please keep us informed. |
|
November
09, 2003 (Evelyn) I presume Todd has told you about Nelse & his son Kaden Yahn. He is in intensive care at Dubuque. Our prayers are with him. Nelse will be on leave at Dubuque for two weeks. Please we can use all the prayers for this boy to survive. Love Evelyn |
|
November 7, 2003 (Dean) Thanks for the post Todd, maybe we can get things going in here. Carolee and I are doing great except for my mouth, I don't know how to say no. I was recruited as the coordinator for the SeniorNet Computer Learning Center. I have had a hectic week getting things going but it looks a lot better today. Luckily I can telecommute most of my activity from home, the downside is that I can work 12 hrs per day. I do enjoy a challenge and the opportunity to help others. I have a great team of volunteers to coordinate but the tasks requires about 20 more. What is happening with everyone else? There must be some news in this family someplace. I hope everyone is well. Dean |
|
November 6, 2003 (Todd) Ok. I can see there is a lot of posting going on since I joined the crowd :-). On another note, my new home e-mail is toddchris@otelco.net. I hope all are doing well. |
|
October 23, 2003 (Dean) I am glad that AOL is improving, you can now do many things with it ;-} They are coming out of the Box. It was either that or take bankruptcy. LOL Dean |
|
October 23, 2003 (Todd) Here is my first shot at a post here. I really have nothing to say, but just wanted to see if this would work from my AOL account. We need more of the Christiansen clowns to be posting on here :-). By the way, my new address will be 221 Cullman Road (same city and state), and, if you don't have it, my home number is 931-2199 (same area code) and my cell is 506-6474 (same area code). Now don't everyone call at once :-). |
|
October 14, 2003 (Dean) I agree with Larry that Fontana Village would be a great place for our reunion next year. Larry sent me the message listed below a few weeks ago. I almost missed it as it was not sent as a post to this family room. I will copy and paste it here. Dean, I saw a reference to Fontana in the "Family Room?" Three or four Christmas's ago Donna's sister's family and we spent a week at a Resort near the Fontana Dam. It was a wonderful place and would be excellent for a reunion. Larry We sure hope that everyone can come and
that we have a big turnout. Todd is going to assist me with future
planning. It was real quiet there in this off season, many of the
activities were shut down but I imagine it will be full in July. A
great many of their units have already been reserved so make your preliminary
plans early and block out the unit of your choice. Also use this
posting system to give suggestions and ideas. This room is for the use
of the entire family and our family friends. If you use the post button
provided above I will know that you want your message posted. Dean |

September 17, 2003 (Dean) Hi everyone, There will be no new posts for a week, you can send them in but they will not be posted until we return. We decided to go up to visit Edna and others in Clinton before I start teaching. I have a fairly larger than usual number of classes this fall. I can't complain as I really enjoy it. We will be in Clinton over the week end. Dean |
|
September 15, 2003 (Edna) I hope I am doing this right. I enjoyed the letters and hope to find more of them in the future. It was nice to read a letter from Dick Goers. It has been a long time since I have seen he and his family. Dick give my best to your family. Love to all, Aunt Edna |

September 13, 2003 (Dean) Congratulations all you Hawkeye fans, the Cyclones finally lost the bragging rights in the State. It appears as if this family is not known for its typing as well as for its gabbing. Maybe you just haven't found out what that blue post button above is for. I finally found one place at Fontana which is large enough to accommodate our family reunion next year. I have been unable to make contact with the man responsible for reservations. I hope to talk with him next week and I will post any information I get here. If and when any of you drop in here be sure to leave a note by merely using the post button above. It works just like e-mail... It gets posted usually within one day and it is visible to all who enter here.... Dean |
|
September 3, 2003 (Dean) Hi, Great to hear from you. I discovered that I don't have any up to date pictures of you or your brothers. Maybe you could send me a couple. We were up your way in July and I was going to try to look you up, I didn't call ahead because we were not to sure how far we would get in one day. We came up 3 along the river and got caught in the construction and wound up over in Mo. Spent the night South of St. Louis. If ever you get near Huntsville be sure to look us up. |
|
September 3, 2003 (Dick) I CHECK OUT YOUR WEBSITE EVERY WEEK TO SEE WHAT IS NEW, ENJOYED THE PICTURES OF OUR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS. GOING UP TO CLINTON NEXT WEEK FOR MY CLASS REUNION.. WE HAD ONE IN 50 BUT ARE HAVING ANOTHER ONE IN 53, GOING TO TAKE THE PICTURES OF THE GOERS/CHRISTENSEN FAMILIES TO HAROLD AND HOWARD. THEY DON'T HAVE COMPUTERS. WILL KEEP TOUCH. MAYBE SOME DAY WE CAN STOP AND SAY HELLO. DICK GOERS |
|
September 2, 2003 (Dean) Come on in and take your shoes off and sit
a spell. Lets use
our imaginations and see what this will produce. It is solely for the
entertainment of our family. For now it is open to the PUBLIC...
Don't say anything you don't want the WHOLE WORLD TO KNOW. If we want
we can issue Keys (Passwords) to only family members and friends later.
I thought I would see what happens first. Feel free to use the POST
button as often as you like. Try not to clutter too much with SPAM, enough of
that with our e-mails. Who is going to post first??? |
