Winifred Pritchard Eurich

Dave Eurich Family 1970:

Back: Sharon, Eileen, Norman & Dave

Front: Mary, Dorothy, Jean & Winifred

Again I express my condolences to the Eurich Family. I do remember that nice big Kitchen that Mark talks about at the Eurich’s. I’ve eaten a few wonderful meals there myself. I helped Bud and Norris Knutson, several summers, with haying on the Eurich farm. Winifred always had a wonderful meal for us at that nice long table that mark described. The last time I saw Winifred was at my Mothers funeral in July of 2004. She attended her funeral along with her daughters Eileen and Mary. Gary

Gary,

Here is my grandma’s funeral brochure. Everything at the funeral was beautiful and the family would like to thank everyone for their kind thoughts. My grandma was a beautiful person inside and out. She will be greatly missed but her memory will live on through all of us. Thanks again.

I received your Grandma’s funeral brochure from Mark Schimetz yesterday too, posted above, that I already had ready for today’s posting. Yes, your grandma was a beautiful person and is well remembered by all of us former and current Dunseith folks and others too. Gary

I had a couple of requests for this story: believe it or not.

I know there are a lot of new people that have moved into the blog and that have not read it also. Maybe its time to put it out there again because I know a bunch of them have had to join our club too.

Everyone needs a good chuckle now and then.

Larry

Larry, It is my pleasure to repost any of your great stories. Gary

 

60 YEARS &MISSMISNOMER

 

 

 

 

I turned 60 last week. I have been kind of depressed about it. Then friends and relatives began telling me that I should be happy, after all I’m in this club now. I asked, what club is that? They shouted you are in the Golden Years Club, You gotta be happy and proud to be in such a club. Everybody becomes a member. After they explained the benefits about restaurants giving you food for less money and you can get motel rooms cheaper, I started to feel pretty good about this. They did not say anything about getting gas cheaper but I guess you just get it more often. As long as I get more miles per gallon, I don’t care. The more I thought about this age thing and this club, the better I felt. So, I was feeling kind of up beat about the whole thing and decided to go out and see whats new in the world of hardware. I always like to look around the hardware stores to see whats new. I was wandering around in Home Depot and I wandered right into a old retired friend.

 

 

 

We got to talking about age and birthdays and such. I asked him about this Goden Age Club and how you join. He said there is no joining, your just in. What do you mean your just in? He said, your just in. What if don’t like it? There is no likeing or dislikeing, you are just in. What if I want to back out? He said, there is no backing, your just out when your out. He finally said, Larry get this through your head your in until your out. I said you mean its like getting drafted into the military. He said there is no drafted, your just in until your out. I said, well, in the sevice there were a few that just up and deserted, couldn’t I do that? He said, Larry there is no deserting, your just in until you are out. So, I’m just automaticly a member of this Golden Years Club for the rest of my life, and I’m in until I’m out? He said, The Golden Years Club is a misnomer. I said, Oh come on, I’m not joining this club and going to have to give up the month of November too? Besides thar, I did not miss November. I remember sitting at the table on Thanksgiving Day eating the turkey neck and gizzard like I always do. In our family the oldest guy sitting at the table always gets first choice on the good stuff, and gets to eat dark meat sandwiches for two weeks after, cuz the women and the kids eat all the white meat. That is just the way it is and the way I like it, so I know I did not miss November. My old friend looks at me, and says, Larry you fool, I said misnomer. I said, I know what you said, you said I’m going to miss November. Did you mean from now on? You mean next year is only 11 months long? No wonder time passes so fast for the people in this club and I’m not giving up Thanksgiving, it is one of my favorite holidays. I’m just not gonna join your club. He said again, you are in until your out, and the proper name of the club is, The Only Thing Golden is Your Urine Club, so you see the name, The Golden Years Club is a misnomer. I said, I don’t care what you say I’m not giving up November . He said, Larry, nobody relishs the idea of being in this club, your just in it until your out and there is nothing you can do about it. I said relish, we have a relish tray at Thanksgiving too, I’m not giving that up neither and left him standing there in the middle of Home Depot. I don’t know if I’m ever going to talk to that guy again. I did not particularly like being called a fool.

 

 

 

 

 

REMEMBER: LAUGH AND THE WHOLE WORLD LAUGHS WITH YOU.
