Boguslawski Picture
Identified by LeaRae Parrill Espe (67): Bottineau, ND
 

Gary, The Boguslawski couple is definitely Pete and Loretta. Some of their children are Martin, Marie, Donald,Thomas, Phillip, and Bernadette.

 

My mother Mildred Parrill taught the older kids Martin , Donald and Marie at the Butte school near Butte St. Paul. Some of their children attended Dunseith, but when there was redistricting I believe Bernadette left our class at the end of 8th grade and graduated from Bottineau.

 

Loretta and Mabel Boardman were the faithful 4-H leaders for the girls for many years. Art Rude and Manvil Sebelius were leaders for the boys. We had a great club and Mr. Rude always saw to it that we had a bus to go to the Minot Fair even before it was the official State Fair. I know Mabel drove to Minot (and Loretta probably did also) with all of sewing and gardening exhibits. LeaRae Parrill Espe ’67

Picture/message from Sharon Peterson Harmsen (63): Bismarck, ND

 

Hello Gary and All from Bismarck, ND
 
On May 5, 2008, Email # 94, Shirley Brennan said —– “My dad, Ray Brennan, was supposed to fight in WWI along with Max Peterson and three other men. The war ended while they were riding the train to Churches Ferry.” She wanted to know who the other men were. I share all the emails with my mother, Joy Peterson who still lives in Dunseith, and she thought she had a picture of the four men who left that day to fight in the war. She has located a picture and isn’t it a great one…………Two of the gentlemen are my grandfathers, one on my dad’s side and the other on my mom’s side of the family. Standing in the back is Ray Brennan, Max Peterson at his right arm, Nels Landsverk in the center and Lee Stickland.
 
Enjoy the photo as we have.

Gary
The boys of summer.
The Hazen, ND LumberKings, Babe Ruth Baseball Team,
took 3rd in the state tournament
held at Surrey, ND. this past week end.
Standing from Lt. to Rt.
My son-in-law and coach, Scott and then my Grandson Nathan.
Nathan is a pitcher and plays shortstop. They fell a little short of the championship.
Losing a heartbreaker by a score of 1 to 0 and the other by a score of 4 to 2 in the double elimination tournament.
Scott says anything other then 1st place is like kissing your sister.
I don’t know what he means by that, and I know he don’t have any sisters?
I think the boys of summer did a awesome job anyway.
 

 

Proud Grand Parents,
Marion and Larry
