Author

Marjorie Klemme Flados

     M. Flados relates to the history and  lifestyles of a former era with the knowledge of one who walked the walk and talked the talk of her Norwegian Lutheran heritage.   Being a child of the Great Depression did not preclude her finding joy in the challenging and momentous events taking place during her lifetime.      A South Dakotan by birth, a Texan by marriage, her experiences as motivational speaker, registered nurse, fitness trainer, college professor’s wife and mother of three,  add a special depth and perception to her writing.       She is a resident of Harlingen, Texas.   Describing herself as a “nice kid and a peachy dancer,”  M. Flados  provides the gift of laughter in this informative, historical, sometimes hilarious, life journey on  The Road From Spink.
