[or-roots] childhood memories

[Eugene Barnes]

Has any one a recollection of a Charle Berglund and his
wife Atlanta M.. Charles had a farm possibley in Nahelem or Mohler circa
1926 on.  The may have had a red heard
girl named Shirley who attended Nahalem HS.  Charles
also was said to have driven a school bus in the area
pre WWII.  He died there in 1942.  Any information
would be appreciated.
