He now is the dump manager, and enforces the code of the Dump. Bob is an exelent person to sell tickets at any local event. or any event period.

Norwegian dialect?

Years and years ago there was an article somewhere about the surivival of spoken Norwegian in North America; Birch Hills was one of the only places in Canada where it apparently remained in steady home/community use; and in connection with a particular dialect from Norway, or with the peculiar dialect-variations found among North American Norwegians. Anyone contributing here know anything about this? I'm Norwegian, but not connected to Birch Hills (Endre Johannes Cleven was my grandfather).Skookum1 (talk) 18:36, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
