Barbara (Kathy) Kalk Lopez (65) cancer update:
From Al Lopez: Inver Grove Heights, MN
Gary,
Barbara (Kathy Lopez) Kalk, ’65 received good news
yesterday from her Oncologists. After surgery, a bout
of pneumonia/with abscess, Chemo/Radiation and
two units of blood transfusions; her CT scan last week
reveals no cancerous tumor. Doctors commented how
well she resposed to treatment. They would like to see her in
6 weeks for a followup. But everything looks like the cancer is
in remission.
Thank you all who have prayed or thought about
Barbara during this battle with lung cancer.
God bless you all.
Al and Kathy Lopez
How wonderful Barbara! This is great news. Gary
Question & comments
From Bonnie Awalt Houle (56): Becker, MN
Dear Gary,
When I was in grade school (Mrs. Conroy’s Class) we learned a song for the Memorial Day Program. It was to the tune of “Many Flags In Many Lands”, the words were rewritten by one of the Gottbreth’s Relatives (an older Lady at that time). It was a wonderful tribute to our country and the troops that were fighting for our freedom. The writing by Evie Gottbreth reminded me of the song. Do any of the Gottbreth’s know the words, or do you remember hearing of this song? Which of your relatives wrote the song?
Dunseith was noted for the great celebrations they put on for “Decoration Day” or “Memorial Day” as we now call it. The Marching Band, Choral Group singing, going to the Cemetery to decorate the graves and being able to look back at the cemetery as you drove away and see all the brightly colored flowers on the graves, all a tribute to the lives of our ancestors.

Correction
Hi Gary,
I have to correct you on the article of my nephew. His name is not Mark. His name is Kody. Mark is the name of the big rig driver. Would you please correct your mistake. Thank you, and thank you for all the prayers. I know you’s didn’t know Kody but, I appreciate all the thoughts and all. Please keep my family in your prayers.
God Bless you
Esther
Esther, Another one of my careless mistakes. Thank you so much for this correction. Gary
