To Diane Larson Sjol, I just noticed that the first part of your e-mail is nrsnice, I take it your a nurse. I have always taken the opportunity when the occassion arises to tell nurses and school teachers,that I feel that teachers and nurses are the most honorable proffession there is.I would have to say,along with Don Johnson,Mrs.Aus, Dan Morgan, Mrs. Suko,and Mr.Mikkelson at Rolette High School were my shining stars.My respect for nurses began when Jimmy was in the burn center at St.Paul Ramsey Hospital in Minnesota,after he was burned at his graduation party.The Drs. were good, but the nursing team,Mary Ellen Irish, Anna Roberto,and Jenny Dupliesis were 3 of the most amazing nurses ever.They went so above and beyond for our family,that if they would of made a movie of that 1yr.and 3months,Anna, Mary Ellen& Jenny would of been the stars.I feel blest to say I have two sister-inlaws Brenda and Debbie,who are nurses,and one neice Pam whos an R.N. at Inovice in Fargo….So to all the Teachers and Nurses out there…Thank You,Your the Greatest!!!

Hi Gary,

 

Thanks to Dick Johnson for the memories/pictures of Albert and Clara Berg. I’ll forward this email to Gary Berg, Alvin’s son. I’ll print the memories and pictures of Albert/Clara and give to my cousin, Carol Berg Hamel, Martin’s daughter.

Thank you Neola. Like was said in the message about the Berg’s, we became related to half of the hills. I just wonder how many relatives we have in the Bottineau-Dunseith area.

Message from Sybil Johnson: Cheyenne, Wy

 

Gary and all,
Well I made it to my granddaughter’s wedding in Wisconsin and it was beautiful, as all weddings are. It was cold at 53 with the wind, just like Cheyenne. The wedding was in the bandstand at the park. First time in my life, I wore dress slacks to a wedding, but most of the women did, so I guess I wont be lynched. Got home Saturday morning about 4:15 and believe it or not, its cold here for the end of May. Snow at the beginning and Fall weather at the end. Maybe, we are getting our seasons backwards, these days. As soon as I can, I will put a couple of the wedding pictures up. Have a peaceful and quiet day.

I think this picture was taken of Oscar & Sylvia on their golden anniversary in 1979? I’m kind of thinking they had their celebration at the Christian Center at Lake Metigoshe. This is exactly the way I remember them. They were a great couple. They had no children. Oscar was a brother to Clayton Bergan’s father. Sylvia Lockhart Bergan’s mother was a Striker. Oscar & Sylvia lived a few miles east of Lake Metigoshe and several miles north of #43. They lived close to Bernard Kavlie and Lars Sivertson. John & Pat Frykman are currently living in that area too. Gary
