Margery Kester celebrates her 95th Birthday
Message from Jan LaCroix Kester (’59):  Fargo, ND
 
Saturday, October 6 was Margery Kester’s 95th birthay. This is Mick Kester, Joanne Boucher, Cheryl Gaugler, and Pennie Greiner’s Mom.  She is still sharp, in good health for her age, and loves her apartment at Haaland Estates in Rugby.  She and Red were an active couple in the community.  The family is getting together this weekend at the Boucher farm to celebrate this remarkable woman’s birthday.  Margery’s address is:  Haaland Estates, 1025 3rd Ave SE, Wing B #5, Rugby, ND  58367

Happy Birthday Margery
 
The last time I saw Margery and Red Kester was when they attended Ernest and Lucille Dailly’s 50th wedding anniversary in Bremerton, WA in 1987. Margery and Lucille are sisters. Lucille is still living in Bremerton. Ernest pasted away several years ago. Without looking it up, I think Ernest died in 1988. I know that he and Lucille celebrated their 70th Wedding anniversary in 2007 before his passing. I remember having a nice long good visit with Red the day of Lucille and Ernest’s anniversary celebration.

Memories of Jess Hosmer

From Geri Metcalfe Munro (’59):  Fargo, ND

 
When I was in high school, I substituted for Jesslyn Selzler, in her 5th grade classroom; also in Elinor Fuch’s 1st grade room in Dunseith several times:  I believe Claudia Espe did, as well.  We didn’t get paid anything, but it was fun anyway; Claudia became a teacher.  Jess was a great gal; she was my Phy Ed teacher, and I enjoyed all the sports, as well.

Rod Hiatt is the kid in the middle on the top row.  Don’t know who the girl is in the last row.

Gary.  Guy on top row is Rod Hiatt and gal in bottom row is Lola Metcalfe.

To me, the unidentified girl looks like LoLa Metcalf.
I also think the boy whose name is hard to read is Rod Hiatt.

Gary,
I recognize the picture of my little sis, Lola Renae (Metcalfe) Vanorny and some of her friends.  Enjoyed the picture of Ackworth School———–would love to have a picture of my beloved Hilltop School (Carpenter #4)–Peggy Sime Espe, where could we find a picture??  Would any of the Brennan’s ( Faye was my 5th grade teacher/wonderful teacher/she passed away when she was quite young)—would any of you have a picture?

Joke of the day
Posted by Bernice Belgaard (’72): Bemidji, MN
 

The boss wondered why one of his most valued employees was absent but had not phoned in sick. So he dialed the employee’s home phone number and was greeted with a child’s whisper. ‘Hello?‘ ‘Is your daddy home?”Yes, he’s out in the garden,’ whispered the small voice.’  May I talk with him?’  The child whispered, No.’ ; So the boss asked, ‘Well, is your Mommy there?’ ‘Yes, she’s out in the garden too& The boss asked; ‘May I talk with her?’ Again the small voice whispered, ‘No.’ Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the boss asked, ‘Is anybody else there?”Yes ,’ whispered the child, ‘a policeman.‘ Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee’s home, the boss asked, ‘May I speak with the policeman?’ ‘No, he’s busy , ‘ whispered the child. ‘Busy doing what?’ ‘ Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the police dog men. ‘ Growing more worried as he heard a loud noise in the background, the boss asked, ‘What is that noise?’ It’s a helicopter answered the whispering voice. ‘What is going on there?’ demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive.The search team just landed a helicopter ‘A search team?’ said the boss. ‘What are they searching for?’ Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle…ME
