In today's paper I note the passing of Rosemary Dustman. This is of particular interest to me . My husband , Harold Solmonson , is a cousin of Rosemary . He passed away on October 7 , 2010 . exactly 6 months before Rosemary's death . Rosemary's father , Carl , was a brother to Ellen( Edman ) Solmonson. Ellen was my husband's mother . She died around 1984 .
I recall visiting Rosemary and her husband at a duplex in Minneapolis
during the early years of our marriage . I also remember visiting them at at a marina in Wayzata . We were able to visit Carl Edman Jr on several different occasions . I never met Carl Edman Sr . , but did meet some of the other Edman
family members ; Fred and Mazel, Betty and George Madsen .
My husband Harold would have been so sad to learn of Rosemary's passing . He always spoke so kindly of her .
I send you my sincere sympathy .
