His complete obituary can be found at http://rudesfuneralhome.com/sitemaker/sites/RudesF1/obit.cgi?user=1021322Mehegan . About a year and a half ago, the Sioux Falls Argus Leader had a wonderful article on five South Dakota survivors of the Pearl Harbor attack of Dec. 7, 1941. From the blog dated Sunday, Dec. 4, 2011, "Included among those is the father of Patty Mehegan. He is now 91. He was living north of Brookings, somewhat toward the Oakwood, I believe. I am not sure if he still resides there. He was quite active in the tennis leagues when he was a few years younger, also, and rather competitive in his age bracket. The entire article can be found at http://www.argusleader.com/article/20111204/NEWS/312040028 " Mr. Mehegan started Medary Acres Greenhouse, a business that is still going strong today. I believe they even have a 1950's era pick-up truck (Chevy?) that is used to promote the business, and may even be used in making deliveries. When we were younger, the business was at the edge of town. Today, however, as Brookings has expanded southward, Medary Acres is in the same location, but is well within the city limits, and is bustling with activity during the spring months.
Also passing away recently was Helen Hemmingsen , I believe she was the aunt of Donna Rieck Christensen. If anyone knows if this is incorrect, please let me know. Her complete obituary can be found at http://eidsnessfuneralhome.com/sitemaker/sites/Eidsne1/obit.cgi?user=1017094Hemmingsen. Our thoughts, prayers, and condolences go out to Donna and her family at this time.
