LuVerne “Bud” was born March 5, 1941 in Langdon, ND to Elmer Wedwick and Earlene (Fjeld) Wedwick Lomman. He went to school in Osnabrock before marrying Jeanette Backes on December 4, 1957 in Canada. Bud worked at a grain elevator and did some construction work before being employed by Boeing Co. in the upper Midwest.
