Bernadette Stokes Status

Many of you saw my Face Book postings about Bernadette. She went into another really bad spell two nights ago. This morning she recovered to the point of being able to go to the Bathroom and walking, both with much added assistance. At about 10 AM this morning she started going back into another spell. She  is now almost to the point of where she was last night and the night before. It isn’t looking good.

My Dad helped build the Peace Gardens he was really proud of the work they did.  Every Memorial Day we’d come decorate the cemetery then tour the Peace Gardens where Dad could buy English toffee.

Vickie’s reply to Don

Thanks Don,

While he was at the Peace Garden with the CC’s  did he meet your mother?

The work young men of the CC’s helped their family’s back home  monetarily and  themselves as individuals,  psychologically.

As years went by they revisited CC  sites;  See, show  and  shared stories with family members  about  the youthful contributions  in the ’30s which were  accomplished as  part of a team and felt pride!

They too, were of the Greatest generation!

Message from young Art Rude (71): Bismarck, ND
Folks, With A number of you having mentioned Art Rude’s productions in the past and liking his productions I have decided to post this. After leaving Dunseith, Art became a professor at a college in Bismarck. Gary
Hi, I’m mailing everyone on my list, as I have discovered the joy of ITunes! I love it! I bought an IPod Touch, and it’s great! Love the format, I’m just learning all the basics, but love the concept. How many times over the years have you bought an entire album and only liked 1 or 2 songs on the album? When I look at my stack of old albums, at least 2/3 of them fall into this catagory. Now I can listen to each cut I’m interested in, and buy only the songs I actually like! I wished that could have been true years ago, and now it is!
Here is the other part, I’m on ITunes!
Yes, if you type in Art Rude, it should come right up! So for any of you out there who liked a couple of my songs, but never bought a tape or CD, now you can buy just the song or songs you like. (I’m hoping you do, both like a song, and buy it) For me, it’s great in that I don’t have to handle a physical product. Apple takes a share, but I get $.63, (some electronic sales pay me as low as 1.8 cents a download!) it’s a sale I didn’t have before, it helps showcase my product, and I don’t have to raise a finger; except of course to let people know it’s there. So, I hope you will check it out, as well as your other favorite artists.
The actual CD is available on CD Baby as well, but if you want one of my cassette tapes, you have to order them directly from me. Just email me with what you want, and I can mail it to you with an envelope for you to mail back a check for payment. I get $5 per cassette, 10$ for the cd, and $3 for shipping and handling per order.
So, anyway, if you didn’t know I’m still out there doing my thing, I’m still out there doing my thing. Although I have never been a success by most people’s standards, I have some people who really like my stuff, and that’s why I keep doing it. Thank you so much for those of you who have supported me in the past, and I hope that if you are into ITunes, you will consider me, and maybe even help spread the word. I’m sure there are many people who are not aware that North Dakota artists are now on ITunes, and other electronic media as well. From my point of view it is amazing and wonderful to have resources and access at least similar to what the big names, the big corporate owners of American culture do.
Thanks.
ArtPS. Oh yeah, don’t forget about my website, www.artrude.com . You can catch up with recent activities, see pictures, as well as find links to listen to the music, CD Baby, ITunes and more!

Father Art Rude with Son Art and his family:
The Art we remember from our school days kind of grew up. Art was six years behind me in School, so the way he was then is how I rmember him being. Art stopped by my brother Darrel and his wife Debby’s house, in Bottineau, to see us in 2007. It was a pleasant surprise to see him again after more that 42 years. Gary
This is profile of the Mr. Rude we
remember from our school days.

Folks, I thought I’d throw this picture in the works today. This picture was taken on the day of my 60th birthday.
As you can see Nathan, my brother Darrel/Debby’s son kind of grew up. I am 6′ for comparison. Nathan graduated a few years ago from UND with an Engineering degree. While in college he did an internship with a larger engineer company in the twin cities area. They picked him up full time after he graduated.
Jim Kofoid is Neola’s brother and lives in Bottineau.
Alney Kofoid lives in Wyoming. Alney is married to Lorna Adams. Lorna is a first cousin to Lee, Darrel (Doc) & Dean Stickland with their mothers being sisters. Mrs. Lars Sivertson is also an Adams, sister to their mothers. Lars Sivertson lives east of Lake Metigoshe about 1/2 mile west of John/Pat Frykman’s. Gary
