Linda, There are several Morinville's listed in my phone book. One of them is Scott and Judy Morinville. She is a very good friend of my daughter Shari who now lives in Atlanta. The Morinville's all have address of Rural Brooks, MN. Judy and Scott can be reached at 218-698-4282. I'm sure they will try to help you. Tell them Shari's mom told you to call. Brooks is big farm country.
