Gary: I too swear that is your dad caring the u.s. flag in that picture, I remember growing up with you guys and always thought your dad needed to gain weight, but then all of you guys where tall and skinny, but I do believe that is him,hope someone can tell us for sure, if its not him like you I think he has a twin.
Bobby, How I wish for those skinny days once again. Age has a way of correcting those skinny days. However, dad never was over weight. He never watched his diet either. He loved his onion and sugar sandwiches too, right up until the time of his death.
Dad did have a twin. Her name was Margaret. Following their birth, their mother died. Dad went to live with Stokes’ and Margaret was sent to Canada to live with relatives. From the time of their separation they did not see each other until they were in their mid 30’s. Gary

Gary,

I thought of saying it, but thought it would be fun to see if you caught
it! It most surely is your dad, everyone who knew Bob can tell by his
stride and glasses etc. One of a kind!

Dick

Dick,

You had me going with that one. Yes, Dad had his own unique stride. I had
totally forgotten he had ever done any parades in Dunseith. Thinking more
about that picture, later in the day after I sent out the daily blog, I
remembered dad telling me he had marched in several Dunseith Parades. The
time frame I remember his telling me this was in the late 80’s and 90’s
when Jack Peterson was still around. Dad was a guy with many friends, but
Jack was extra special. Not long before Jack died, Dad & Jack were in
Dunseith for some kind of a Legion event. At the moment, I have forgotten
the occasion. With dad, nothing ever stood in the way of “Old Glory”, the
American flag. “If Old Glory”, as he called it, “is not welcome, neither
neither am I”. Those were his exact words.

Do you know who the other guy is caring the American flag?

Thanks Dick,

Gary

Question for Mel Kuhn… Does St. John still have the “Bull-a rama”?? (I think that’s what they called it). If they do could you please send me some info about it? Thanks Crystal

To Geri Metcalfe Munro re:
the ‘don’t see”–it is such a pleasure and security to not have the intentially destructive tendencies that WE have been made aware of from the sites of other tragedy.
We do not need the ‘release of tension-expression’ as is tendered in defense of actions when bad things are trying to be justified.
WE just woth work hard.
Many folks want a job, do not work and have no intention of really WORKING, but do want that paycheck.
Geri, I did note that there was 13 items. I AM not superstitious, thanks goodness.
I continue to feast on the bountiful offerings of facts of, about, and toward life that WE get each day, thanks to GARY. Lee 1964

Hi Gary, At last I got the Pictures from Liz Miller, She was on Vacation for awhile, and some technical difficulties were overcome. These photos I took at The Nursing home during Mid Fulsebbakes 90th Birthday Party. Unfortunately, these photos were the only ones that turned out.

Mark, Is this Gary Fulsebbake with Dick and Brenda Johnson? Gary

 

 

 

 

Brenda & Dick Johnson, Gary Fulsebbake?

Hi Gary,
 
I received a note from Pete Solberg a few days ago, identifying the children in the picture with his mother. They are Melissa and Mathew Langor from Perth, ND. I think Pete’s mother was Alice.
 
I seem to require much more sleep these days, so that’s what I’m doing. :) As of today, I’ve received 21 treatments; I have 15 left. Thanks to all the friends/relatives who are praying for me, this has not been a negative experience. All is going well; the doctor says my radiated skin looks “good”. After 4 more treatments, something “good” happens; something about the radiation not going so deep/won’t take as long/something like that. This may sound strange, but being it was good news, I didn’t pay much attention to what was said. I just show up for my daily treatment and let the professionals take care of the rest.
 
I’ll scan/send the Dunseith news from today’s Courant now.

Neola, I will post the Dunseith News tomorrow. Thanks for sending. Gary
