About this listen

News readers might just have been craving some good news. Perhaps that’s why Forum journalist Cal Olson grabbed his photo gear and set out to snap a few pics that would undoubtedly put a smile on people’s faces.

He found himself at the Presentation Sisters Convent at 1310 Broadway in Fargo to take a few shots of the sisters on ice.

According to Olson’s story on Jan. 22, 1956, “each afternoon for the past several weeks, between 30 and 35 of the nuns have been skating for an hour or so, whirling around the ice on a small rink behind the convent.”
