The Norwegian Heritage website lost a valued friend on July 31, when Clair Haugen passed away at his home in Moorhead, Minnesota. Clair was a frequent contributor to this website over many years. He was also a wise counsellor on the structure and management of the site. Clair O. Haugen was a descendant of Norwegian emigrants who departed from Norway on the sailing vessel "Hannah Parr" In 1868. Clair collaborated on the Hannah Parr research with his friend James Overdahl, and their account of this voyage makes the crossing of the Hannah Parr one of the best documented of any emigrant voyage. James has written a tribute to Clair which can be accessed here: Clair O. Haugen - in memory
