asked about examples of Colette Hosmer’s art. She has a web site:
Colette Hosmer.com This has examples of her work, pictures of her at
different locations, including China. There are many facets in the site,
biography, philosophy, and more. I am very proud of her, and there will
be many who will find the site of interest. Certainly, I find all the
correspondence and lore of our home land fascinating, and go to that
email, before any of the rest I get. Vance Bailey started something very
special, and those who contribute are special in many ways. Thanks,
Gary, for making life more interesting and bringing this community into
closer awareness, friendship, and appreciation for our common heritage.
Life is great. Cheers, Bill Hosmer
Paulette asked about the men dancing at Kelvin. I think it was
a Turtle Mt. Jig, popular in this area. “Little Raymond”
Belgarde was one of the best around.No matter how fast the band
played Raymond could jig, in time, without missing a step!
Ron Longie asked if we remembered the Buffalo from Mrs. Conroys
class. I remember making them from something like sawdust and a
homemade “binder agent” glue of some kind, am I right Ron? I
seem to remember they had an odd smell as we made them.
Diane Larson Sjol said she saw dead cougars by the gas station.
Leo Medrud shot a Lynx in the hills in about 1962 or 1963. I
wouldn’t doubt he had it in town, probably at John Kofoid’s
station to show people. Diane could this be the time frame?
There were more lynx then, than today. What we now are seeing
are mountain lions, a larger animal, as in Glen Williams photo.
In Gary Stokes message #22 he said the rolls at Hermans were
three for a dime and that is correct. Hard to believe. I think
it was mentioned earlier that they were a dime each and even
that would have been a bargain!
Susan Fassett Martin- I want to know when you will be here this
summer. We should get together with others who are interested
in our combined memorabilia. I am kind of a packrat when it
comes to old pictures so I seem to have many of interest not
only to me but to others as well. I would enjoy sharing them
with everyone who is interested.
To the Berubes-Muzette, Angela, or Robert, in a prior message I
said I thought Robert broke his leg while snowskiing in the
ditch, behind a car. Did that happen or was I mistaken? No big
deal but it has been bugging me. Can anyone else remember this
happening?

This means Bishop Ryan will go to the state tournament. I think these two teams played each other last year at the region also, and Bishop Ryan won then, and went on to state, too. Bishop Ryan had only one loss this year during their regular season–to Dunseith. The games weren’t televised tonight, but on the news, they said Dunseith had 20 turn-overs, which really hurt their score.
