Larry, didn’t you young fellas go to the movies at the Althea Theatre on Sunday afternoons in the 50’s?We saw a lot of Pa and Ma Kettle movies and probably John Wayne movies. When my brother, Gary Metcalfe, was old enough to drive he drove us girls; when Mom and Dad took us Dad visited with Arnold Lilleby, the owner, during the movie.

Yesterday’s blog number

Gary,
Did you manage to jump a cog backwards with the dailey numbering. The last few days when I go to save the blog it says I already have that number. So today I took a look and by golly I do already have that number. Just thought I’d ask cause you know between Dick and Larry they get me confused.
Mel
Good Catch Mel,I didn’t realize the error until I went to post it in the Website and noticed the previous days number. Yesterday’s number should have been 1445, not 1435. We will continue on with 1446 today though.Gary

From Aggie Casavant (’69):
Hi Gary,
In reference to the 1932 treshing crew photo…the guy at the far right end in the back row, looks alot like my Dad(Etienne AKA “Chicken Casavant) or his brother…our uncle Lucien Casavant….Ricky Casavants dad….But I’m pretty sure it is our Dad. It would make sense,since we lived in Willow City til I was 5 years old.and come out on to the farm on week-ends.
Also the story that Larry Hackman wrote was pretty much the best I’ve read as far as putting a person right back, square in the middle of Dunseith on a slow lazy Sunday afternoon. I remember getting to go to the Crystal Cafe when my sisters worked there, and Larry described it to a tee, right down to exactly where Dan McCoy would sit all the time. I remember my sister Yvonne,and Lorette worked there alot. Lorette’s twin sister Annette worked there for a short period of time,but I do remember that they all met their husbands there. I’ve been to alot of cafes across the country in my life but the only ones that come close to the smell of those hamburgers at the Crystal Cafe,are the cafe’s in N.Dakota. Must be cuz the hamburgers there are 101% real beef…..not that other stuff that’s been on the news lately. Anyway thanks Larry for the story down memory lane….thanks Mary Eruich Knutson for the picture of the threshing crew…and thanks again Gary for making it all happpen.:) Aggie
Thank you Rodney and Aggie.If we keep at this long enough, eventually we will have all these folks identified. Pretty good for a 60 year old photo.Gary

Joke of the day

Ed and Nancy met
while on a singles cruise and Ed fell head over heels
for her. When they discovered
they lived in the same city only a few miles apart Ed
was ecstatic. He immediately started asking her out when
they got home. Within a couple of weeks, Ed had
taken Nancy to dance clubs, restaurants, concerts,
movies, and museums. Ed became convinced that Nancy was
indeed his soul mate and true love. Every date seemed
better than the last.On the one-month anniversary of
their first dinner on the cruise ship, Ed took Nancy to
a fine restaurant. While having cocktails and waiting
for their salad, Ed said, “I guess you can tell I’m very
much in love with you. I’d like a little serious talk
before our relationship continues to the next
stage. So, before I get a box out of my jacket and
ask you a life changing question, it’s only fair to warn
you, I’m a total golf nut. I play golf; I read about
golf, I watch golf on TV. In short, I eat, sleep, and
breathe golf. If that’s going to be a problem for us,
you’d better say so now!”Nancy took a deep breath and
responded, “Ed that certainly won’t be a problem. I love
you as you are and I love golf too; but, since we’re
being totally honest with each other, you need to know
that for the last five years I’ve been a hooker.”
Ed said, “I bet it’s because you’re not keeping your
wrists straight when you hit the ball.”
