Lester Allen Erickson was born in St. Maries, Idaho March 5th, 1925, the second child of Mary and Albert Erickson, my mother, Marjorie Emma, being the first. Albert was working as a logger in Idaho,, his preferred work since he began at an early age to support his widowed mother. When Albert and Mary were back in Minot to visit Mary's sister Annie and her husband Merrit Warner, Lester fell from a fence and fractured his femur. This fracture was treated with a long spica cast and it meant that his parents could not return to Idaho.
