giving of themselves
Wayne and Arletta Herman
appreciate opportunities
to give and to receive
By Cecile Wehrman
Some people just have a knack for giving of
themselves.
They do it so effortlessly, it makes giving to
neighbors and community look easy, even though
in reality, it takes a lot of time and effort.
Giving to others, says Jandy Jorgenson, is a
way of life for this year’s Warm Heart Award winners -- her parents, Wayne and Arletta Herman of
rural Alkabo.
“I am tremendously proud of my parents and
the example they have instilled in me about being an active part of the world and appreciating
all the opportunities there are to both give and
receive,” said Jorgenson,
That attitude, according to their neighbor,
Elaine Leininger, is what makes them a worthy
recipient of The Journal’s annual recognition for
those who demonstrate a warm heart by giving
of themselves and helping others.
Leininger wrote the letter nominating her

Warm Heart Award, paused for a photo on a snowy
mountain in Alaska.
neighbors.
As Leininger recounted in her nomination letter, the Hermans give of their time and gifts in
just about every venue available -- through their
church and neighborhood.
Because of their proximity to Montana, their
neighborhood runs as far afield as Plentywood
and Crosby.
“They both have been very helpful with church

Heart
projects as well as other community activities,”
Leininger said. “But that is just a small part of all
the good things Arletta and Wayne have done in
the passing years. There were times when there
were illnessess or deaths in the area and Arletta
and Wayne would be among the first to be of help
and always brought some food.”
They have offered transportation for doctor
appointments as far afield as Minot or Bismarck.
“They were also available to be a caretaker no
matter what the age or need,” Leininger said.
Leininger recalled that when she had a short
stay in the hospital recently, “guess who was here
within a few hours of my return with a kettle of
homemade soup and angel food cake? That’s
right, it was Arletta.”
In addition, “Wayne has spent countless hours
providing music for the Good Samaritan Home in
Crosby as well as the various nursing homes in
Plentywood and also encourages and helps others
to develop their musical skills.”
Though Arletta is not so musically inclined,
Leininger shared, Arletta has often brought the ingredients for making ice cream in a hand cranked
ice cream maker to the nursing homes to give the
residents a chance to remember simpler days and
enjoy a treat.
“I am grateful for their frienship and willing-

“It seems that most of the settlers in North Dakota are warmheartred people.”

nominator of Wayne and Arletta Herman
ness to help others,” Leininger said,
whether it’s sharing a love of history
or appreciating them showing up
with some extra lawn mowers in a
wet year when the grass threatened
to grow faster than a neighbor could
keep up with it.
As Jorgenson related, “My parents
have been exceptional models in
sharing appreciation for assisting
those both more and less fortunate,”
never expecting more than a simple
handshake or a note of appreciation.
“As I grew up with that mindset,
it’s just a ‘habit’ to help others in an
unfortunate situation,” said Jorgenson, and in that way, the Hermans
have insured their gift of giving continues long after they are gone -- by
inspiring others with their example.
“It sort of comes full circle,” Jorgenson said, now that she is an adult
and can appreciate the role models
she had.
“When giving of yourself, you receive in kind much more self worth
and satisfaction than you probably
gave in the first place,” said Jorgenson, regardless of any public
recognition.
Her parents taught her to never
pass up an opportunity to serve
in some capacity, whether through
volunteering in the community or
helping a neighbor in need.
“It seems that most of the settlers
in North Dakota are warm-hearted
people,” said Leininger, but the Hermans have elevated it to a fine art.
On the cover
The photo of Wayne and Arletta Herman was taken atop a shortened
conservation tower, probably used for spotting birds, on the Medicine Lake
Wildlife Refuge. It used to be 100 feet tall, but only 60 feet were salvaged to
make this tower when it was moved to a private farm location northwest
of Dagmar, Mont.
Happy
Holidays!
As we reflect upon the many people we've
had the privilege to serve this year,
we realize that we're doubly blessed to have
your friendship and support.
We wish you and your family all things
merry and bright this holiday season!
Merry Christmas!

My warmest Christmas memory . . .
Elaine Nygaard
Christmas Eve with Grandma T.
The Christmas Eve spent with Grandma
Torkelson was unforgetable. My sister, Marian,
and I were four and five years old that year.
Because my Mom and Dad both worked we
stayed with Grnadma who lived about twenty
miles from Minot. Grandma often ignored
regular bedtimes for us and this night was no
exception.
We ate the usual Christmas Eve supper of
boiled lutefisk swimming in melted butter,
boiled potatoes drowning in melted butter,
lefse slathered with butter and sugar and sweet
soup smothered with thick “farm” cream. I can
almost taste this as I’m thinking about it. After
supper Grandma read Christmas stories to us.
Soon the time had come to go to the eleven
o’clock candle light service at the Lutheran
Church. Marian and I dressed in our very best
velvet dresses that Grandma made for us, long
white stockings, and patent leather shoes under
our woolen coats, caps and mittens. Grandma
didn’t have a car. The church was too far away
from her home to walk on a bitterly cold, winter night. So church friends, Mr. and Mrs. Ray
Anderson, gave us a ride.
The decorations in the church consisted of a
tall spruce tree with shiny silver icicles draped
on the branches. Miniature brass-colored candle holders were clipped onto the branch tips.
Each holder held a lit small candle. The entire
Samantha DeJardine
“My warmest memory is
going sledding with Aerial
(Wolter) down a really big
hill. Aerial went down first
then came back up and
pushed me down.”
tree shimmered. Taller white candles with
flickering flames sat on the alter, piano, and all
the window sills-to me, a magical scene.
Marian and I snuggled by Grandma during
the singing, praying, and sermon. I felt special,
secure and loved. We must have fallen asleep
because the next thing I knew Grandma was
gently nudging us awake. The service was
completed; time to go home.

“My first stroll down
Main Street last year began
my warmest Chrsitmas
memory. The beauty is
unmatched except on
postcards or in Norman
Rockwell paintings, yet
alive in Crosby.

was when I got my hockey
bag.”
