·        Kevin Guttormsson died last week

Bill Holm has been ill in the past.  It is quite a shock for all of us to hear of his death in Sioux Falls upon his return from Arizona.  Marcy, his wife was with him at the time.  Additional information can be found below.  The Marshall Independent Newspaper had the news on their front page.  Information about the funeral will be forthcoming.  Those interested in attending should email: IcelandMN@gmail.com or contact Claire at 612-432-3410.  The Association will work with Hekla Club to develop carpools.
