Chickamish
Reply from Dick Johnson (68): Dunseith, ND
Gary and Friends,
Dennis or Vickie—-I can’t say I remember Red Duchaine being
called ‘Chickamish’ but I think he lived on the hill where Gene Anderson
built his house, just on the south side of Rose Lake. Was Red called
‘Chickamish’ or was it someone else like Red’s dad maybe? His old house
was originally probably log but it seems to me it had been covered with
red brick looking asphalt material if I remember right. Does any of
this sound right?

1944 Basket Ball Picture
Reply Floyd Dion (44): Dunseith, ND
Gary
Dick Johnson is correct when he said that the picture of the 1944 basketball players was a Hagen and not Freddie Hiatt. His name is Oscar Hagen, a son of John Hagen, and a brother of Orville Hagen. Gary I think you must have known him as they lived south of you mile or two,
but it may have been before your time.
Floyd
Floyd, Yes the John Hagen farm was 1.5 miles south and a half mile west of us. I sure heard all about Oscar, but he was long gone from the time I can remember back too. He graduated in 1944 and I was born in 1947. My Memories start with the parents, John and Agnes living on that farm. Then Orville and Gloria Hagen, followed by Clifford and Louise Hagen and then back to Orville and Gloria. I believe Archie Metcalfe is now living on that farm. Henry Hagen, brother to John, lived a half mile north of them. Henry lived with his son Clarence and Mary Ann Hagen and their family. I have pasted Oscar’s contact info below. I will include Howard Landsverk, via his daughter, with todays message.

Minot Oak Park Contest
Posted by Rosemary & Wayne (61) Smith: Bottineau, ND
Gary:
I don’t know if this site has been sent to you. It is a competition to vote for America’s favorite park. The winning park receives $100,000. The information was given over KXMC TV a day or two ago. Since then, Oak Park in Minot is ranked #1. If Oak Park has this ranking at the close of the contest on Sept 6, the funds will be to redo the park, which was under water, and possibly help others that were flooded out by the Mouse River flood.
The Dunseith Alumni website bloggers can help Minot by going to the web site, choosing Oak Park in Minot, ND, and voting. Anyone can vote as many times as they wish. This would be an easy way to help those in Minot by just a few clicks of a “mouse,” no pun intended.
Thanks, Gary.

Hi
Carmen thank you for your input on this picture!
As I look at this picture there are 5 people in the front row. The tall girl holding flowers, the two angels, myself, and the boy in the dark suit.
With that in mind Shirley Houle is the tall girl holding the flowers, then a angel with dark hair, then Sharon Houle, then me, then the boy in
the dark suit. Would that be correct? 2nd. row five girls. 3rd. row six boys with the boy on the right behind a girl. 4th. row the
two nuns. I can see it will be hard to identify the picture because the rows are not in a real straight line. Could the two girls on the left in
the 2nd. row be Lamoureaux girls??
