## Resource

A French thrift store find turns into a North Dakota mystery: a woman in Brittany buys a plaque resembling Lawrence Welk’s famed Theodore Roosevelt Roughrider Award for just 25 euros. The award, given to the legendary bandleader born in North Dakota, has sparked intrigue—especially since Welk’s granddaughter admits she’s never heard of it ending up in France. Officials confirm its authenticity and note it hasn’t been reported missing, leaving historians and fans alike wondering how this piece of musical history wound up across the Atlantic.
