Tronnes-Sand Memorial
The Kringen Heritage Library was made possible through two generous memorial gifts to the lodge by the families of the late Drs. Nils L. Tronnes and Olaf Sand. These two doctors were the founders of the Fargo Clinic and St. Luke’s Hospital.
Drs. Tronnes and Sand were presented the St. Olav Medal First Class for their contributions to preserve and perpetuate Norwegian culture in the area. Kringen Lodge is grateful for all the contributors including books, printing, and materials that have been donated by a number of loyal members.
