Interesting life, on good sources, offline source accepted AGF, and at the moment I have also ref #1 for AGF, because the site has maintenance. But I trust you, no copyvio obvious. Can you make a combination of the two hooks, because I like aspects in both? - Article suggestions:
- infobox
- Gerda Arendt, Done
- explain the middle name from the lead in the body also
- Done
- mention the father first, for the family name to appear sooner
- Done
- format the all-capital ref headers
- Done
- mention lead facts also in the body, and perhaps write a bit more lead? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:01, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

... that, when the Minneapolis School Board decided to include North Germanic languages in the ordinary curriculum, Maren Michelet, of Scandinavian's heritage, was the first Norwegian teacher in any public high school in the US? - Gerda Arendt, Done Elisa.rolle

- ALT3:... that when the Minneapolis School Board decided to include North Germanic languages in the curriculum, Maren Michelet became the first teacher of Norwegian in a public high school in the US? Source: History of the Norwegian people in America by Olaf Morgan Norlie (1925) ([3])
- Let's not tell the reader everything, - they should want to know more ;) - I approve this one, but am open for other suggestions.
