Correction from Sharon Longie Dana: MIssoula MT
Gary,
Al Longie is cousin to Willie and Ron, brother to Louie Longie of Tioga. Al’s folks were Pete and Rose Longie.

Sharon, I was thinking Al was a brother to Ron & Willie. I knew Louie was a cousin though. Who is your father? Gary

Folks, I have a little extra room today, so thought I’d share several pictures of a family/home in our neighborhood. This is a family of 9 with the parents. That is a dirt floor too. Parts of the roof were totally missing too along with holes in what was there.
This is a very lucky family though. Friends of ours from the UK were here when Bernadette passed out the food for the Elderly with donations from the Dunseith reunion raffle
. They were impressed with what they saw and asked if we’d find them a needy family. This is the needy family we found. This family is now getting a new home. Education is very important in the eyes of our friends too. The two older girls, 17 & 19 are pretty bright, so plans are in the works to send them to college so they can provide for their family.
Seeing this is kind of a reminder of how lucky we are. Gary
