1931 6th Avenue, N.E. Rochester, MN 55901
In 1974 Kate's mom and dad built their dream home which
Kate's father designed with an amazing builder named Arnie
Burgler - he was literally known everywhere for being a true
craftsman.
Kate couldn't help herself and went and knocked on the door to
find the people who own the house are those who bought it in
1978. The gentleman, Mr. Kreiger, gave Kate, Brent and
Sawyer a tour of the inside.
Beyond that, we walked around the area, getting photos all
over, including going all the way down Kellogg Path, which
leads to Kellogg Junior High (and the candy store a bit further!)

Kate And Sawyer By The Side Of The House
Pie used to have a beautiful garden, and the yard has in fact
been nicely kept up.

type of beef jerky) from the hooks in the ceiling.

The Pool Is Gone
In its place the Kreigers put in the shed and an extra room.

The "Short Cut" - Yikes It's Steep!
This photo hardly does it justice, but this was
the "short cut" down which the boys loved to go!

The Entrance To The Petrie Home
The tile and light fixture are the same but the
hardwood floor in the living is a neat addition!

The Zinckes
The thing that made it hardest to leave was leaving was the
Zinckes. Kate's best friends, Marian and Tanja Zincke,
who were 8 months younger and 6 months older than Kate
respectively, lived across the street. The whole family was
at Kate's wedding and we visited Marian and his family in
Germany 2 years ago.

You can barely see it at the right straight ahead. The
Zincke's home is on the left in the foreground.
