Tveten girls- I am sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. i remember both him and your mom from your visits with family in River Falls. Although I was young, they left the impression on me as a fun-loving, caring couple. May you all find peace and happiness in the blessing of joyful memories.

I just read of Mr. Tveten’s death. I taught at Somerset High School off and on from the mid-70s through early 80s. Somerset High School was my first job as a teacher, and Mr. Tveten was always kind and kind of protective. What a lovely man. I will always be grateful to those who helped me in my first job. Please accept my deep sympathy. Marjorie Gustafson Jenkins
Dean was one of the kindest, most generous persons I have ever met. He was a wonderful colleague and a faithful friend. I will miss him. May the love of our Lord Jesus Christ comfort you during this difficult time. Robert Walker
