I am so happy Neola, that you have come through that dreadful disease. But, like Gary said, your positive attitude and being so up beat with that beautiful smile, truly helped. I remember that fabulous smile. I will let Beckie know when I see her. By the way, she is doing great from her colon cancer and they are very sure that they got all the polyps. She didnt need radiation treatments/any other treatment. She has her regular check-ups and is now down to a size 10, the same size when she was married 25 yrs ago. By the way, we had snow here, yesterday morning, with big flakes. It didnt last long, thank heavens. All have a quiet and peaceful day. Sybil Johnson

Hello Gary
I do remember the Awalt Anniversary and the duet. Vonnie played the piano and I was on the accordion. I don’t think I was asked to be on Laurence Welk Show after that either. Seems like my musical talent was mainly in my mind and not in the ears of the audience. Yes Vonnie was a big part of the auction business as she was no doubt the best clerk that you could ever want. In all the years that she worked with me, I don’t recall having to repeat the selling price or a bidders number to her. She did that as well as caught bids at the same time. She was also the best part of Hiatts Western Shop, as she could sell ice cubes to an Eskimo without trying. At Christmas, the men would come in looking for something for their wife, having no idea of size, colors or style and Vonnie would put together an outfit, boots and accessories, wrap it up and it was surprising how many wives would come back saying how happy and thrilled that their husbands took the time, new the right size and had such good taste. Vonnie just smiled and never said any different. It was 5 years ago last month that we lost her, but little things like your newspaper clipping bring back the good memories and all the fun and laughter that she brought into our lives She is dearly missed but Never Forgotten Main Street in 1940, posted by Lloyd Awalt (44): Bottineau, ND
Dear Gary,
I have racked my old brain to come up with the location of all the businesses in Dunseith in 1940 when I was working on the Dray. To the best of my knowledge the enclosed map is accurate. If anyone has any changes just e-mail of course spelling errors can just be written up to old age and bad eyesight. (Is that a good enough excuse?)
Have a good week!
Lloyd Awalt
