Hoehns Seek
Alaska Outside
The hot and sticky climate of
Chatanooga. Tenn., plus the “big
city” atmosphere, sent Dr. David
Hoehn and Dr. Bernice Andrews,
former Valley physicians, seek
ing an "Alaska-like climate and
community,” Dr. Hoehn said in a
letter to the Frontiersman last
week.
The Hoehns recently moved
from Tennessee to Sharon, North
Dakota. Dr. Hoehn describes
Sharon as a small town, located
in the Red River Valley in the
center of a prosperous farming
area. A 15-bed hospital serves
the community.
Dr. Hoehn reports the entire
family to be in good health. The
couple’s daughter, Roberta, has
been walking for the past three
months.
The physicians asked to be re
membered to all their Valley
friends.
