Art Rude Sr. is in the Minot Hospital.
 Reply from Art Rude (71): Bismarck, ND.
Glad to hear he had such a good time. Thank you for sharing, I had heard good things from a few others as well, so that is great.
As I write this, he is in surgery. Since he had his last defibrillator (his third), the site of the incision never healed properly. That was one of the reasons for the nursing home, his dressings needed to be changed twice daily. It hasn’t healed.
Last weekend, Dad and I were at the Hawk Museum Farm Show near Wolford, and he had a great time there too. That place is very important to Dad, he was on the board of directors for many years, and brought Dunseith kids out there on 8th grade field trips for many years, the first time about 50 years ago.
Anyway, his incision had opened up, so the nurse told me she could see metal from either his pacemaker or defibrillator. That’s not good, and so they are going in to remove one or both, and replace one or both, I guess we won’t know until he gets a look under the hood so to speak. This is becoming quite routine for Dad on one level, in that this is the seventh time they have opened him up to install, reinstall, replace batteries, and I’m assuming, change the filter.
He was in great spirits on the way in, and this point we assume the procedure is routine. However, at age 87, I don’t know many things that are routine in the same way they used to be.
Thanks again for your concern.
Peace and Power,
Art

 Beautiful fun loving couple. This picture was taken the last night of our visit

Gary and Friends,
This same story was told to me by my dad, but not in the detail that
Larry brought out. He also mentioned who it was but I am not sure anymore who he said. He was really laughing when he told me how the thing went down—it was funny! Good one, Larry! Dad also told about a guy, back in the late ’40s, who was driving an old single axle gravel truck and was really a wild man on wheels. He came tearing back into the old east gravel pit and slid the empty truck sideways and caught a ridge and tipped the truck on it’s side. As the workers were running toward the overturned truck, the guy threw out the grease gun and climbed out and said, “Looks like a hell of a good time to give it a grease job!” The boss grabbed the grease gun from him and said, “It probably is, but you won’t be greasing it—your fired!” I DO know who that was, but better leave it alone! Thanks Gary! Dick Trish Larson Wild heads south, on horse back, on her 10,000 mile journey:

Hi everyone,
Click on the link below to the Loveland reporter/herald news story about my ride that came out on Tuesday.
Also, I now have the beginnings of a website at www.equinenomad.com.
My last day at work is June 27. I start living on horseback July 1.
Should be a great summer!

Hi Gary
Sounds like you had a good time being back in the states for a while.
I saw this story in the Devils Lake Journal about Gary Fulsebakke and since he grew up in the Dunseith area I thought your readers would like to see it.
LARRY
 Folks,
These are several news paper articles and John Tangen’s picture that were among the pictures we recently found in my Grandmother, Julia Stokes’, suit case.
My Grandmother, like most of the Ackworth community, was Methodist. I remember well, in my really younger days, the Methodist church services that were held in the Ackworth school. Do any of you remember Rev. Samuelson?
Esther Thompson Tangen’s mother was a
Stokes, sister to my Grandfather, Frank.
Esther Owned the original Stokes Place
where the Cemetery is. A few years back
she sold it to her Nephew, Dan Pladson.
Esther passed away several years ago.
I think Esther and Edmar got married in
about 1950. John, can you verify that please?
John Tangen, Son of Esther and Edmar. John lives in either Oregon or California. John, I’m sorry I forgot which. I don’t have your address. Please let us know.
John attended school and graduated from Bottineau. He is a first cousin to the Eldon/Ella Pladson children. John is also on our distribution.
John, this is a beautiful picture. I remember you being so faithful to your mother when she was in Good Sam. Your mother was such a kind hearted sweet lady. She had a sharp mind remembering our family history well. I picked her brain shortly before she passed on about some family stuff of which she remembered well. Gary
