I ran across this picture while looking for some others. This
is the 50th anniversary of the three couples, Jack and Inez
Hosmer, Ike and Agnes Berg, and Glen and Annabelle Shelver. I
believe they were all married at the same time in Boissevain in
1929. This was not dated but should be 1979 I think. Great
bunch of folks. Please correct me on the dates, if I don’t have
them right. Memories of them would be nice to hear! Thanks Gary!

Folks,The picture size of this photo is 50% of the original. The original PDF photo that Terry sent me is very clear with lots of detail when viewed at 200%. The file size is way to big to be sending with a group message. For those of you that would like a copy of the original PDF file please let me know so I can forward it to you.Thank you Terry.Gary
Adam ate the apple..
A woman ran a red traffic light and crashed into a man’s car.Both of their cars are demolished but amazingly neither of them
was hurt.After they crawled out of their cars, the woman said; “Wow,
just look at our cars! There’s nothing left, but fortunately weare unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meetand be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days.”The man replied, “I agree with you completely. This must be
a sign from God!” The woman continued, “And look at this,here’s another miracle. My car is completely demolished, butmy bottle of wine didn’t break. Surely God wants us to drinkthis wine and celebrate our good fortune.”Then she hands the bottle to the man. The man nods his head in
agreement, opens it, drinks half the bottle and then hands it back
to the woman. The woman takes the bottle, immediately puts thecap back on, and hands it back to the man.The man asks, “Aren’t you having any?” She replies,
“Nah. I think I’ll just wait for the police.”Adam ate the apple, too!

Bev Azure???/ the medical expenses part??? I have been
out of the loop.
I also send my condolences for the Berube/Evans
families, she was the nicest woman. I always remember
her when we sold Christmas wreaths, she bought one
every year and it was a special time to visit with
her.

so many fond memories of Dunseith school days and the Turtle mountians. I
think of all the good times in 4-H and those hay rides. I would love to
hear from anyone and everyone. thanks for adding me to your e-mail
address. Vickie Hiatt LaFontaine class of 73.
had so much fun…it was actually the first pontoon on the�
lake…complete with lawn chairs and a little cooler. He would take�
it out on the lake and let us jump off and swim. He never seemed to�
be in a hurry….When I walked in the store at about age 10, he would�
holler here comes Dinah Shore…don’t know why he called me that but I�
kind of liked the attention. Both Jack and Inie were wonderful�
people. We have lots of good memories of both of them….they are�
missed. Thanks for the picture Dick. Diane
wedding anniversary. Dad (Jack) and Glen took their two women to
Crookston Minnesota and had a double wedding. They used Ike Berg’s
car for some reason, maybe because it had front and back seats. In
actuality, Ike and Agnes were married that same year, 1929, but were
already married but could not reveal that fact because Agnes was a
school teacher, and marriage was not allowed in those days unless you
were a male. Some swell rationale behind all that, I suppose.
On another matter for Dick and you other musicians in our readership
I have a favor to ask and pursue, and you may have some ideas how to
approach this task: I wrote some words for a song about a fighter
airplane I flew long ago, for a reunion of a bunch of the fighter
pilots who flew it. It premiered at the first F-100 Super Sabre
Society reunion in 2007. The next reunion will be in the spring of
2009, where I would like to play it on a CD with speakers for the 5
or 7 hundred people who will be there. The two F-100 pilots who sang
it the first time could not be heard, and I’ve been asked to get
different musicians, because the words were well liked.
The words are mine, but I stole the music from an old version of
“Ghost Riders In The Sky” made popular by a vocalist named Frankie
Laine. My version is called “Hun Drivers In The Sky” “Hun” is
the nickname of the F- one hundred.
I heard Dick’s Dad, Don Johnson sing many times while we were in
DHS, and maybe some of those musical genes are maintained in the
musical repertoise of Dick, and others of you who have excelled in
the musical world.
My strategy, if there is any interest in this project, is to email
the words to the piece to appropriate and kind interested musicians
from my home town territory. I would cover any expenses, and
provide an amount of cash to make the time and effort worth while.
Copies of the disc would be available for any performers at zero
cost , as well. With copyright laws in question, I would not
intend on selling any CDs, but just use the one I get to play at the
2009 reunion in Las Vegas, NV.
I will send the words if there is any interest in this matter. I
am looking around the field of guys I flew the Hun with, but one
thing about fighter pilot singing is that it usually done in large
numbers with alot of alcolhol having been consumed, thereby making
the tonal quality “irritating” at best. A North Dakota sound from
the hills and plains would be something special and one I’d be
proud to give full credit to when the event occurs.
Gary and all the rest, all my best. Bill Hosmer
