Lois Peterson, Honsey Memory

It has been many years,  I would say this picture was taken in 1953?

Our family and the Leonard Honsey family use to get together on our farm in the Turtle Mountains and at their place in Dunseith, ND.

Leonard would park the big Caterpillar D-8 dozer in our farm yard when he would have to open the roads in the winter time.

I remember him having to come from town in his 1951 Ford with the family and having to drive like a wild man to bust drifts,

just to get into our farm where he parked the dozer.

 

I remember as kids, them and us playing in the tunnels built in the snow banks around the new construction

for the south addition of the Dunseith School.  The addition was for grades 6 thru High School. That part of the school

is just used for the lower grades now.

 

They would come up to the farm and we kids would get into trouble for

flattening and packing down the hay stacks and throwing eggs.

The last time I can remember us visiting with the Honsey

kids was in the late 50’s when they were living in Willow City, ND.

Where are they now?

This is a nice picture of their family. I remember the kids when they were older,

maybe about twice the age they are shown on the picture.

 

I hope you enjoy the picture.

It is from my moms album.

Your Friend,

Larry Hackman

Virgil and Geraldeen Rude’s wedding
Posted by Neola Kofoid Garbe: neolag@min.midco.net Bottineau & Minot, ND.
Folks,
I had the pleasure of seeing Virgil and his brother Allen at the Pizza Inn in Bottineau when we were there last month. Their parents were Alfred and Viola Bjornseth Rude. Viola was a sister to Ralph Bjornseth and Gladys (Albert) Rude.
Virgil is a retired Minot school administrator. His is also a retired full bird Colonel from the ND National Guard. Virgil lost his wife to cancer in June of this year. Several months prior to her passing both Virgil and she were diagnosed as having cancer. As you can see in the picture, Virgil is recovering well. I think by now the bandage has been removed from his head.
Allen lives in SD and will be retiring this year as a Civil Engineer. I had not seen Allen since about 1965. He looks very much the same as I remember him and of coarse as kids we knew each other well.  
Virgil and Allen, it was such a pleasure seeing you guys again. Seeing you guys made my day.

1943/44 Glee Club photo
Reply from Dick Johnson (’68): djcars@hughes.net Dunseith, ND
Gary and Friends,

Tonight I found some family history that tells that Beverly
Olson, who is standing at the far right in the middle row,  was born in
1930 so it is her as her sister Betty wasn’t born until 1934 and would
have been too young to have been included in the picture.  The gal who
is fourth from the right isn’t an Olson unless there was a different
Olson family she belonged to.  If I can find Mom’s old 1945 annual,
there might be a picture of her in it.  I’ve loaned it to several people
and I’m not sure I have it right now but I think she is the only one
left to ID.  The gal on the top row far right is identified as Ruth
Larson.  Is that for sure?  She sure looks like Ramona Nelson to me.
Thanks Gary!

Dick

I’m almost positive that #4 in top row is Lorraine Sebelius.
