There is alot of sadness in our community again with the death of Dan Flath, age 92, on Wednesday, June 27th. Dan was born near Max and lived most of his life here. He's even been seen getting his hair cut in Max - a very dedicated man for the community of Max. His daughter, Linda (Wayne) Feldner lives in Minot. We extend our sincere sympathy to Dan's family and friends.
