Earl "Bud" Nansen Hallstrom was born June 29, 1924, in Polk County Hospital, Thief River Falls, MN, to Henry "Hank" and Leticia "Lettie" Hallstrom. Bud was raised in the Thief River Falls area where he attended Black River School. He furthered his education at the Agricultural College in Crookston, MN.
On May 1, 1947, Bud married Lorraine Hebert, in Moorhead, MN. Bud worked as a truck driver for Red Owl stores for 42 and a half years. While working for Red Owl, Bud served on the executive board for the Teamsters for twelve years and job steward for twenty-two years. They purchased the Birchwood Golf Course in Pelican Rapids, MN, in 1967 and owned that for the next eight years. Bud and Lorraine were later divorced.
Bud met Lillian "Betty" Cypret and together they built a life and owned a home on Little Toad Lake. He moved to Rochert, MN, in 2003, when he bought the Hebert family lake place on Cotton Lake. For thirty years, Bud made his winter home in Donna, TX, and his summer home on Cotton Lake, with Betty, where they created many wonderful memories for us all.
