Side note on Schoon Motors.

Warren Schoon along with Arnie Toftland had the dealership. Warren, Arnie, and I believe Bob Best from Sioux Falls were flying to the Indy 500 when their plane went down. Warren and Bob died at the scene. Arnie was badly burned and lingered for quite a while before passing.

Many of Arnie's cars are still in the Luverne area. His son Dean has a few and several others have a few also. Arnie knew how to make the Pontiacs run for sure! I worked at Schoon's Chrysler dealership in the 80s.
