Thanks again for the good memories. Last Friday evening we had the
opportunity to hear two of the former DHS music students sing at the Roy
Orbison night at the Stadium Lounge in Bottineau. Cheryl Haagenson and
Gary Fulsebakke each did a few songs and were great! Some of the
training they had in high school started them on a long road in music.
Cheryl did a few Patsy Cline songs and did them well. Gary now also
accompanies himself on the keyboard. He has a clear magnificent voice
even in rather noisy full house. Lloyd and Theresa Awalt’s daughter,
Dianna Bullinger, also sang a few songs to a very appreciative crowd.
She is a fine singer too. Thanks to Jim and Tom Berube for a fun night
of music. Thanks Gary!

Dick, How well we all know the musical talents of all you folks. You guys all received a good musical foundation from one of the best ever Musical teachers of all times, your dad, Don Johnson. 30 years later, his legacy continues to live on. He will never be forgotten. GaryPreviously postedMr. JohnsonMemories from Ele Dietrich (69): eleszoo@yahoo.com
I, like everyone else, have truly enjoyed reading all the memories and can not thank you enough for what you have done for us Gary. You are truly a wonderful person and we are blessed to have you in our lives.
After reading Deb M. memories of the Governor’s Choir in 1969, I felt that I just have to add this tickle of memory: Mr. Johnson (who would ever have called him anything else) probably had the highest impact of any teacher in Dunseith when I was in school. Through him we all learned to appreciate music. We also learned to give from our hearts when we sang and I think that has stayed with all of us to this very day. I personally can not thank him enough for that gift. I will always remember though that he absolutely dispised Buck Owens and the nasal tone of his music. Remember “let the sound come from the mouth not the nose”…those words will be with me always. He introduced me to so many kinds of music, music that I had never heard before and still love to this day. Thank you Mr. Johnson.
And Deb, I too remember singing Grace in the restaurant…what an awesome moment of time. The whole place stopped and listened, almost as if time stood still.
Thank you again Gary and all who have shared their memories with us.
