KAWE video played at Clearbrook Depot
Activities were held at the Clearbrook Depot on Saturday during the All-School Reunion. Part of the video that was taken by KAWE was shown to the many who came to the Depot. Roz Johnson is with Randy Berger, while his part of the interview was being played. The whole taping from KAWE will be shown at a later date on the Local TV channel out of Bemidji in the Common Ground segment. Randy is from Mahnomen and lived at the depot for a time from 1961 to 1964 while his father Russell Berger was the Depot Agent. Other agents who served were; Ivan D. Kretser from 1910-1943; Walter E.
