Alfred and Eva Schroeder decided the interfaith chapel at Chapel Gardens needed a new paint job. Eva called upon a former student, Harlan Tenhoff, of Osakis, to come and paint the chapel. Eva, who recently celebrated her 80th birthday, taught school near Osakis prior to her marriage to Alfred. Harlan was one of her eighth grade students. Pictured, Harlan and Albert Morisette, his assistants, prepared the chapel for painting, and Eva was busy weeding the flower beds.
