No Blog yesterday.
 
For the record I did not get a blog posted yesterday.
 
Tomorrow evening we will be having this Months Cebu Expat (Foreign) dinner at the Marriott, so I won’t be getting a blog posted tomorrow either.
 
The attendance at our monthly Expat (Foreign) dinners has grown considerably. We have nearly 80 folks signed up to attend our dinner tomorrow. The Marriott has a capacity in their dining room for 88, so we will pretty much fill up the place with just our group. We are into our 4th year having these monthly dinners. With a group this size, the restaurants give us up to 50% off the price of their buffet dinners. I run a hard bargain with them playing one to the other for the best possible prices for our group. It’s good advertising for them and they don’t loose money.

Condolences to the Joni Lamoureux Blassingame family
From Allen Richard (’65):  Midland, MI    

 
Two things:  First, I am so sorry to hear about Joni Blassingame.  She was one of my students, a distant cousin and most importantly a very sweet person.  I was chatting with Alan Poitra last night and he told me.  I’m still shocked —-  My prayers go out.  You know you are getting old when you live longer than your students.  It should not be that way.
 
Second, I won’t be at the reunion.  Susan and I will be just returning from a long overdue vacation.  Best wishes to all you ‘mates.
 
Allen
 
 
DHS Class of 63 Fifty (50) year reunion
Posting from Sharon Peterson Harmsen (’63):  Bismarck, ND

  
Sending another SHOUT OUT to the DUNSEITH HIGH SCHOOL Class of 1963
 
If you recall, in October of 2012 I sent a request to Gary Stokes to include an item in his daily blog regarding a 50th year class reunion for the graduating class of 1963.  This will be celebrated the weekend of August 9, 10 and 11, 2013 during the annual Dunseith Days celebration.  It’s still on……….Please make your plans to attend!  We’d love to see you and get caught-up on what everyone has been doing for the past 50 years.  And, of course, tell a few stories and share many a laugh.
 
Dunseith Days events include, but not limited to, the Little Shell powwow, free Saturday morning pancake breakfast, street vendors and, of course, the parade.
 
The reunion planners need your help in making this event a success.  If you are reading this and were a member of the class of 1963, please send a current email address to myself, Sharon Peterson Harmsen @ harm0825@bis.midco.net so that I might forward a reunion itinerary.  Watch for updates at your personal email site.  I have many email addresses but am unsure if they are current so help me out.  Those without email will be sent a copy via “snail mail”. 
 
Additionally, an indication of whether you will attend is necessary so we can do the best possible job of planning for such things as food items.  We’d also like to invite those of you who were friends or in another DHS graduating class to join us.  Again, just be sure and let us know of your plans to attend so we can plan accordingly.
 
Thanks and can’t wait to hear from you.
 
Sharon Peterson Harmsen, ‘63

Jan and Paulette,
 
This is certainly a beautiful picture of both of you. You gals have certainly retained your beauty and I know your charm too over the years.
