My father Dale Gebhard grew up on a farm that abutted the town of Norbeck. Many stories I have heard about Fay and Doris and their store. Dad bought Fay's 1927 International truck from Doris about 1962 and we painted it and ran it in Faulkton Fourth Of July parades for many years. He sold it to Delmar Dieter several years ago.
