Our Sympathy goes out to Eleanor's family. I will never forget the times when George & Eleanor would come out to the farm and visit in rural Blooming Prairie. My mom Marjorie Betlach and George used to work together at Josten's in the forties. They used to start telling stories and it would never quit. In 1968 I bought my first car from George. It was a 1955 Studebaker Commander. It was a good car and I remember George telling me always used Texaco oil and nothing else. He was always great to talk to and he and Eleanor would always know you when they met you in Owatonna or at the steele county fair. We will always have fond memories of the Dornquast's. Blessed be the memories Marvin Betlach Family
