Chris and Viola Leier Their Life in Their Words

This is the story of Chris and Viola Leier. They talk of childhood memories growing up on farms in Logan County, North Dakota, going to school, church and of holidays. They share memories of how they met, their wedding day, their honeymoon and getting started on the farm. Chris and Viola talk about the trials and tribulations of raising 11 children, building and managing a home and farm. Additionally, they give tips to their children and grandchildren on how to be happy and successful. They also reflect on the importance of family and community. This is their story in their words.
A special thanks goes to Chris and Viola for sharing their heartfelt stories and wisdom. Their children and grandchildren for providing the questions used to produce this video. Marv Leier for producing, directing, and editing this video. The old film, video, and pictures are from Carl Leier film collection, Marv Leier home videos as well as photos and slides from Chris and Viola Leier's personal collection.

thanks so much for this...no doubt most of our families which grew up in that area would have a smilar story to tell just change the names...the first names :) last names are all the same :) and the final words so true, "...God has been good to us..." #AMEN
