Stokes Family picture

Gary,
I’m still working old pictures and getting them saved in the computer. I have over 1,600 so far and keep finding more. I have to go back sometime and rework some I put in before I was introduced to Snippy. I came across a picture of you and your family in one of the shoe boxes. I assume you have a copy of this but in case you don’t have one, you do now.
We got about four inches of snow last month then about three days later we got a good sheet of ice. Definitely not normal for lower Louisiana. When a little snow or ice is forecast they close the schools in advance. I guess that’s good from the school’s legal standpoint. No bus accidents, no lawsuits! If ND followed that theory, the schools would be closed for the Winter and resume in the Spring to make up the weather days lost.

Thanks for posting Dale,I actually have this picture too. It was taken when I was home on furlough from the Army following Basic and AIT. Steve Wondrasck took this one. That I remember very well. He was telling us about his military history and that he was a Major in one of the services. At the moment I have forgotten which service he was in. The Air Force rings a bell?Gary

Joke of the day
Posted by Rosemary (Wayne ’61) Smith: Lake Metigoshe, ND
An old, blind cowboy wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a shot of Gentleman Jack Daniels. After sitting there for awhile, he yells to the bartender, ‘Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?’ The bar immediately falls absolutely silent. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, ‘Before you tell that joke, Cowboy, I think it is only fair, Given that you are blind, that you should know five things: 1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat. 2 The bouncer is a blonde girl. 3.. I’m a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate. 4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weight lifter. 5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler. Now, think about it seriously, Cowboy. Do you still wanna tell that blonde joke?’ The blind cowboy thinks for a second, shakes his head and mutters, ‘No…not if I’m gonna have to explain it five times.’
His funeral is this weekend………………………………….
Know anyone looking for a old seeing eye dog??…………………………..

Bob Hosmer’s (56) reply to Crystal Fassett (70) – Cemeteries:
Thanks, Crystal, for that wonderful suggestion about setting up some sort of endowment to care for Riverside Cemetary. I’m ready to contribute. Let’s find out how checks should be made out and who would or does manage those funds. I know my brother Bill takes care of the Hosmer plot when he is at Metegoshi late spring to early fall. Thanks for getting this important ball rolling. Bob Hosmer

Doreen Bailey’s reply to Gary Metcalfe (57) with pictures:
Gary, The Bailey farm was first settled by Mahlon L. Bailey and Frances Cora Anderson Bailey. They were Vance’s grandparents (came from Missouri). Virgil Bailey (son of Mahlon) and Marie Hobbs Bailey were Vance’s parents. They lived on the farm with the grandparents until Vance and Wayne started school in Dunseith, then they moved to town. Mahlon built the house and barn on the farm.
Reading the Dunseith, memories is my attachment to Vance, he talked so much about everyone, I recognize many, many of the family names that come up in the memories. . I will be in Dunseith the last week in May. Thanks Gary Stokes- Doreen Bailey, Tempe, AZ
