Biography
I was born in Spokane, Washington. My Dad’s family immigrated from Norway to Iowa and Minnesota. My mother’s family came from France and Germany with a few other countries thrown in. I graduated from Washington State University with a degree in Bacteriology. Having gone to an agricultural college guess who I met for a husband? A farmer, of course, so I spent many years living on a farm in S.E. Spokane Co. Washington. My husband and I raised three children here and are now enjoying our 7 grandchildren. The name Blegen is Norwegian. It is a habitational name from any of various farms, especially in southeastern Norway, named Bleiken, from bleik 'pale', 'light colored', + -en from vin 'meadow'.
