Beatrice Irene Conrad was born January 6, 1933, in Dodge Center to Marvin and Charlotte (Langworthy) Lindahl. She grew up the only girl between two brothers, Robert (Bob), her older brother and Merwin, her younger brother. As a toddler Merwin was unable to say “Beatrice,” he called her “Reenie.” So she went by Irene after that and continued to do so for the rest of her life.
