Thanks for all the birthday wishes, e-mails, calls etc. Yes, those school bus driving days are memorable hauling all you kids from the hills. I could share lots of stories!?! A bunch of really good kids. Kind of sad there are no kids up in this area any more. Those were the “good ol’ days” gone by.
Thanks to you Gary for all your efforts keeping us all connected.

It has been said, “1 picture is worth a 1,000 words”.
It is remarkable how well the people who read “The Dunseith Blog”, enjoy being connected and continue to communicate on all the photo’s submitted.
The older pictures bring out the “Sleuths”. There are many who keep us all thinking . They are the blog’s “Sherlocks and Watsons.”
Recently, those who “ponder history ” are having fun working their “Magic Brains”. (Gary uses his magic jack, with the ability to reach out and connect with specific questions), while others are busy computing with their talented brains. Dick deducts by examining details. He sees the shiny bar top void of bottles, patrons who are all men poised for the eye of a camera. Floyd with his keen mind and eye, and memory adds to responses. Others come forward with affirmative or corroborate submissions.
Is it all good fun for the rest of us, as we eagerly await another piece of the puzzle to be put in place. We’re now all hooked, who is that fellow with the hat?
I identified the look of pride with the grandfather,who has calm wisdom sitting next to his daughter. And, she with the utter wonder and glow of a mother’s love holding her contented babe.
In the recent birthday photo of Don, Carrolls nephew, I deduced from his hat, “Someone believes fish fear him”. He must fish! Ha! Me, a Miss Marple, want 2 be. I just read too much (Thanks Mrs. Conroy wherever you are.)
Finally,I all notice the relaxed camaraderie with the Cebu folks on the other side of the world. Thanks Gary for the connectedness you, have provided.

Gary,
Stomach ulcers are not a good thing! If they start bleeding it can get bad real quick. I have had two episodes in the last few years with bleeding stomach ulcers. The first time took 3 units of blood and a week in the hospital to get back on track. The second time took 4 units and a week and a half. If Bernadette starts feeling like she has acid reflux you need to get her to a doctor as soon as possible! Acid reflux was my self-diagnosis both times, both of which proved why I’m not a doctor!!

He told the loan officer that he was going to Paris for an International
redneck festival for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000 and that he was
not a depositor of the bank.
The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security
for the loan, so the Redneck handed over the keys to a new Ferrari. The
car was parked on the street in front of the bank.
The Redneck produced the title and everything checked out.
The loan officer agreed to hold the car as collateral for the loan and
apologized for having to charge 12% interest.
Later, the bank’s president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at
the Redneck from ND for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral for a
$5,000 loan.
An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank’s private
underground garage and parked it.
Two weeks later, the Redneck returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest
of $23.07.
The loan officer said, “Sir, we are very happy to have had your business,
and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little
puzzled.
While you were away, we checked you out on Dunn & Bradstreet and found
that you are a Distinguished Alumni from The University of North Dakota, a
highly sophisticated investor and Multi-Millionaire with real estate and
financial interests all over the world.
Your investments include a large number of oil wells around Williston, ND.
What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?”
The good ‘ole boy replied, “Where else in New York City can I park my car
for two weeks for only $23.07 and expect it to be there when I return?”
His name was Ole… .
Keep an eye on these ND boys!
Just because we talk funny does not mean we are stupid.
