Anne Larson
Anne Larson of
Aberdeen, South Dakota (pictured here in traditional German Russian
garb) delighted Schmeckfest viewers with her Easter breads - fiegele
(little birds) and kranse (crown
of thorns).
In 1898, Anne's
parents, Frederick and Rosina Roesch, left Gluekstal, Russia, for
the United States, where they then settled in South Dakota. Of the
fourteen children of Frederick and Rosina's, Anne is the last to survive.
