Newell, South Dakota

My dad was born at home on a farm just a mile south of Newell, South Dakota. Grew up there, and graduated from Newell High School. I don't recall what dad told me about the physician getting there in time for the delivery, but I know he was born during the middle of the winter, in early February. The high for the day was 16 degrees; the low, 4 degrees. That's Farhenheit.

I've probably driven by this ranch any number of times.
