Just a note to thank Bob and Arlene Daughter on her update on her parents.

I was a freind and class mate of bob and arlene and has some wonderful times together with the clases of 53-54-54-56.

Arline was one of the smartest girls in our school and her and bob are a class pair.

Ray (70 and Lori Williams (75) Lagerquist

Folks: This Face Book picture of Ray caught my eye. I think the last time I saw Ray was in 1965. That is 46 years ago. I instantly recognized this as being Ray. Other than for a few added maturing years he looks very much the same as I remember him. Ray and Lori are living in Boulder, MT. Gary

 

 

Note from Aimee Lagerquist – Ray & Lori’s daughter

Hi Gary,
I was going to tell you that the little girl- my niece is named Karsyn…she is Andrea (the youngest daughter of Lori and Ray) and Matt Dolezal’s little girl. She just turned two, so she thinks she is pretty hot stuff…well, we tell her that she is pretty fantastic continually, so we may feed into that. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clarence Michaels – Town Cop

Reply from Paula Fassette (71): North Branch, MN

 

Thanks to Gary Morgan for the Clarence Michaels update. I’d told Dick I thought they had moved to Portal at one point. I think my Uncle Darrel Fassett bought the Michaels house when he first moved to Portal? I remember a playhouse-type add-on to a building out behind the house that was named “Fred’s Hut” – named by Fred Michaels, if I’m remembering this right! I do remember sneaking out there with my cousin Kathy and attempting to smoke……….then eating toothpaste so Aunt Dorothy wouldn’t suspect. Clothes that wreaked, I’m sure, of cigarette smoke……but very fresh breath!

Clarence Michaels – Town Cop

Reply to Dick Johnson, Missed your contributions to the blog while you were gone. Dick you should cut a CD of Merle Haggard songs. I think you would do a good job on his songs.

Anyway, Clarence Michaels was one tough customer. Earlier on on the blog I talked about the night at Dale’s when he slid through the gas pumps, I held the door open for him and the rest is history. One night I was with him up by where we call the crossroads, he got out of the car to talk to a young fellow, but he talked to him by hand. I guess he was getting some respect. My dad could have used a man like he was down at the pool hall in the 40’s. Clarence I believe was from Bisbee. Same general area that Joe Spaeth came from.

Big Roger Gustafson was another tough cop.

I met a guy who was originally from Rolla on a motorcycle in Grand Forks last summer that knew Jack Allen, a highway patrolman who was stationed in Rolla. Jack was big enough that all he had to do was back hand the average man. By the way, Ed Moore was not a 90 pound weakling either. These men were right for the time and place. At least you, Dick and Bill Grimme and maybe Gary Stokes would appreciate this kind of talk. Don’t want to sell Darrol Abby short either.

Now you may think of a few more as well. Gary Metcalfe

 

 

 

 

 

Lenore Watkins Hoover and her daughter Lenette

Pictures posted by Paula Fassette (71): North Branch, MN

Hi Gary:

With my cousin Lenette’s permission, I’d like to share a couple of photos that I received from her. Lenette is the younger daughter of my Mom’s sister Lenore Hoover. The first photo is of Aunt Lenore, Lenette and Andre the dog. The other 3 are the Peace Garden – looking beautiful as ever. Lenette said they enjoyed wonderful burgers at a newer café (at the Conervatory???) – even Andre had a tasty grilled cheese sandwich! The Peace Garden is so beautiful, I just thought I’d share the photos for those – like me – who haven’t made it up there for a couple years!

Viola Grinnell’s Obituary

Posted by Neola Kofoid Garbe: Minot & Bottineau, ND

 

I’ll miss not seeing Viola at Good Sam. Awhile ago, I pushed her (in her wheelchair) back to her room from the dining room. She was grateful to get back to her room without having to wait for someone to take her back. Neola
