Dick Morgan (’52) memories
From Glen Williams (’52): Missoula, MT
Gary…Yes Dick Morgan was a member of DHS Class of 1952…..He was the top graduate of our class..
He was a great person….I remained in contact with him by letter, phone and in person for the nearly 60 year since we graduated from DHS.
He was one of a kind and will be remembered by many folks;….Those who knew him from his days in Dunseith, many friends he made over the years…as well as many students who enjoyed his History Classes…
His family and especially his wife Shana meant a great deal to him….and Shana was especially caring during Dick’s last illness…taking care of him at home….When doing otherwise would have been much easier.
Dick was a great friend of mine and many others; and will be greatly missed..
Glen Williams…Class of ’52
Elwood and Eleanore (Stubby) Fauske
Folks,
I received this nice picture from Stubby and Elwood in the mail, at our local post office in Cebu, yesterday. This picture is dated 12/11/11, so it is a recent picture. Without fail, for years, we have gotten a Christmas card from Stubby and Elwood. I feel guilty because we have not sent out cards for years. The post mark on this card is 12/17/11 and today is 1/27/12, so this card was in the mail for a few weeks.
Stubby and Elwood were married in October 1942, so they will be celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary this year. Elwood, born in 1920, was 5 years younger than my dad.
Stubby and Elwood are definitely a community roll model couple. They were such close friends and neighbors of ours up in the hills too.
Elwood had farm land all the way from the Canadian line to the prairie too.
Gary
PS – Fauske Siblings, when you talk to your folks, please tell them thank you from Bernadette and me.

Metighoshe Ladies Aid Picture
Reply from Glenore Larson Gross: Bottineau, ND
Gary – an update on the names on the Ladies Aid picture – it is in fact from the Creamery anniversary, taken by Oliver Magnuson (according to a sticker on the back of the picture at the Christian Center) – the copy there has the names listed. Doreen’s list was mostly correct, except that Mrs. Duame’s name is Arlene (#27) and #33 is not Elinor Roland but I didn’t write down the name and of course it has now left my memory. I believe it was either a Vinje or Salem name if that helps (maybe Aasness?) I can come up with that after I go back to re-check it, if no one else remembers. Thanks for sharing the history! glenore larson gross
Metighoshe Ladies Aid Picture
Reply Doreen Larson Moran (BHS ’61): Usk, WA & Hazelton, ND
Yes- this was a fun project. Thanks to my parents that I was drugged when I was young? That is as in dragged to church, Sunday School, Ladies Aid, and all the other activates in our community that revolved around church and family and school. Because I went to Loon Lake or the Tjon School for 4 years gave me an extra boost in identifying so many of the Vinge Ladies. On #33 If it is an Aasnes, I do not know.
Please let me know when you gals have all of ladies identified, so I can repost. Thanks, Gary

Martin Rude Family
Posted by Neola Kofoid Garbe: Bottineau, ND
Martin and Lucille Rude lived south of Salem church and east of Long Lake. Martin was a collector of old machinery and antiques. Tractors and Threshing machines were is specialty. His son Kenny has a huge display of his dad’s Threshing machine collection on display along the road by his house east of Long lake. It is well worth a little detour off of highway 43 to see this mass display.

Joke of the day
Posted by Keith Pladson (’66): Roanoke Rapids, NC
My boss phoned me today and he asked, “is everything OK at the office?”
I said, “yes, it’s under control. It’s been very busy today; I haven’t stopped.”
“Can you do me a favor?” he asked.
I answered, “of course, what is it?”
“Speed it up a little,” he replied, “I’m in the foursome behind you!”
