Erling,

 

This is so sad. How wonderful it was that you and Borg were able to visit the Dunseith/Bottineau/Hills area last summer and to attend the One room Country School reunion. It was a trip that I know you will forever remember and like wise by a whole lot of others.

 

For the DHS class of 38 with 38 students, my records indicate there are12 living. I have pasted them below. Florence Christianson Struck, Beatrice Dailly Johnson and Maxine Radley Hiatt all have apartments at Oak Manor in Bottineau. I am including Vivian Clark, a good friend of mine who also lives at Oak manor with today’s message. Between Vivian and others, I know these ladies will be informed of Borg’s passing. I know family members and friends will also inform Orvin, Hank and other class mates of her passing.

 

Erling, Our condolence are with you and Borg’s family with her passing. We know she was close and dear to your heart and you will miss her dearly as will a whole lot of others.

 

Gary

 

 

Debbie, how well I remember those old oil pop corn poppers. Many evenings we popped corn in one of those. We’d pour oil up to the ring in the bottom and then place about a 1/4 cup of corn kernels into the oil, plug it in and let if pop. The popped corn often times lifted the lid. One popping was generally enough for one heaping cereal bowl of pop corn for each of us three kids and our parents. On a rare occasion we could talk mom into letting us pop two batches. To stretch the enjoyment, I remember eating this pop corn one Kernel at a time. Believe it or not, occasionally we still pop corn on the stove in a pan. This day and age though, we add the melted butter for flavoring. Instead of cereal bowls, today’s servings are in a big stainless mixing bowl. Gary
