Page, Hope and Finley, North Dakota <br />www.ohnstadlaw.com <br /> <br />North Dakota Association of Counties <br />Excellence in County Government <br /> <br />RE: Hall of Honor Nominee <br /> <br />Deanna Kensrud, now retired, worked in the Cass County Recorder's office <br />for 47 years. For the last 32 years she served as the elected County <br />Recorder. <br /> <br />During that time, her office survived many times of stress, such as the <br />periods of great housing booms when bags of documents to be recorded and <br />filed arrived daily instead of a handful of documents. There were also <br />times of refinancing of real estate because of low interest rates. This <br />generated a great amount of new recordings. <br /> <br />During these times came the need for computerizing the process iu the <br />Recorder's office. Also, there was a need for the computerizing of <br />records relating to documents previously recorded manually for the years <br />prior to the use of computers. <br /> <br />Keep in mind that the recording of documents must be done correctl:i, <br />because an error could cause great monetary losses to the individuals <br />involved and, perhaps, eventually the County. Deanna and her staff <br />successfully managed these many years of change. This was accomplished <br />by coordination with other County offices and the hiring and supervision <br />of dedicated staff personnel. I know as a fact that Deanna regularly was <br />back in the office after closing time to personally check every document <br />handled on that day. <br /> <br />Our attorneys and staff worked closely with Deanna and her personnel. <br />We were always given very good and pleasant service. Deanna has retired <br />and will be remembered. She has been succeeded by one of her E:xperienced <br />deputies. <br /> <br />It is appropriate that Deanna's success and dedication be recognized. <br /> <br />Sincerely yours, <br /> <br />OHNSTAD TWICHELL, P.C. <br /> <br />J~~ <br /> <br />Daniel R.
