My condolences to Sharlene and the Norem family. Just saw the Post Everlasting notice in the Iowa Legionnaire spring newsletter from Des Moines Post 731. I also worked for FAA with Alden from 1969 until his retirement. He was always a joy to be with and had the greatest laugh
in the world. All his co-workers just called him "Norem". He made a
difference here on earth and will be truely missed.

I am saddened to hear of Alden's passing. We had many a good time when he came down to Corning to hunt. So long cousin. Till we meet again.
