As I wish you a merry Christmas 1930 I wish you (plural) welcome home next fall and a happy new year 1931.  The school house called "Brendablik" where you took confirmation preparation the summer 1920.  The picture on the front shows teacher Hansen from Haugesund with the group of "youth school" (jr high - high schoolers) 40-50 students.  November 28 1930 Best greetings from home.

Svend and Mary

Svend Svendson Opstad married Mary Lydia Fletcher 19 March 1929 in Elko, Nevada, USA Gramma told me how she and Grandpa met. She was on a date with her beau, and her beau had invited Svend as a blind date for another girl to double with them. The other girl teased Svend so terribly about  his Norwegian accent that finally Svend took the girl home, dropped off his friend, and spent the rest of the evening with Mary.
