From EdnaMae Nelson Olufson-Smith: Edmonds, WA
Even if it is not leap year. I Remember when you were born!!!!! Your mom was my sister’s tutor (Vonnie was “in bed” for 6 yrs. with rheumatic fever) when we lived at Art and Christine’s (aunt) just two houses south. Good old Rev. Mjoyness (never knew spelling of his name) was between our houses. Have another great year!! EdnaMae Olufson-Smith (enjoying the California sun for a few months).

Dunseith independent Basketball team
Reply from Gary Morgan (’54): Garrison, ND
Gary and All,
My computer has been down so I have been out of the loop lately. In catching up on my e-mails I note that Glen Williams mentioned the Dunseith Independent basketball team of the late 40s and suggested that I might remember the team members. It just happens that I have a team picture that was taken moments after Casselton had beaten them for the state championship. This must have been in 1948 or 1949. Anyway, members of the team on that picture were: Les Greener, Darrell Fassett, Paul McLeod, Virgle Vanorney, Chuck Johnson, Hazel Olson, Harold Larson, Leo Murry, Jack Flynn and a fellow named Taylor, I think he taught at Belcourt. I would attempt to send the photo but unfortunately, its in Garrison and I’m in Minot for the winter. Also, Mona Johnson may remember what year that was.
Les Greener was a remarkable basketball player. He had that knack to make those who played with him better. If I am not mistaken, he had been a Little All American at a college in Mitchell, SD. I can’t remember the name.
Enough for now. Keep up the good work, Gary.

Gary M,
I checked my pictures and I don’t think I have the picture you are referring too. I have pasted several others below from the 40’s.

Cebu, Philippines: Potluck dinner at the Stokes house yesterday
A few of our friends visited yesterday with a potluck dinner. The main purpose of their visit was to see and visit with Bernadette. They came at noon and left at 6:00 so we had a nice long visit. The gals were inside and we guys outside. Bernadette was truly energized with their visit too.

Bev Morinville Azure’s (72) reply to Dick Johnson (68):
Since Dick likes to remember all those old times here is one I remember of DIck….. Colette Hosmer had made the coolest igloo , A lot of us were playing ( I think over at the Campbells) and we could hear someone yelling, we followed the sound and when we looked in the igloo there was Dick on his hands and knees trying to crawl into the igloo but his dog Duke wasn’t going to stand for that and had Dick by the seat of the pants. we laughed so hard. When I think of u Dick this is the memory that stands out. Bev Morinville(azure)

Dick Johnson’s (68) Reply to Ron Longie (65):
Ron and All Friends
I think we played dodge ball with those old red Voit rubber
balls as they were not to hard if you got hit! The
animals “sculptures” we made were hand formed and mine was
supposed to look like a horse. It didn’t seem to resemble any
known creature so it wasn’t kept.
The changes you mentioned about Dunseith are noticed by many.
It is called “progress” and Ron, I think although there are new
schools and new businesses with new buildings, the town has
lost the character it had in the old days. Things have
certainly changed and I guess that is inevitable, however, my
memories haven’t and maybe this is why I cling to those
memories so desperately. I will be sending some pictures of
Main street that my mom had taken in the mid 1940’s. Most were
with Mom and her friends in front of various businesses. This
really brings back memories of the way WE remember our town!!
I suppose Mom’s friends will read this message and go into
panic, but I’m afraid they coming {the pictures} anyway, gals!!

Message and pictures from Crystal Fassett Anderson (70):
| I am putting all my Dad’s slides onto my computer and thought everyone would enjoy seeing how we did homecoming up right “in the olden days”. That’s Richard Slyter carrying the colors & leading the parade. Patty Metcalfe was Queen,Randy Mongeon & Pam Lagerquist were princesses and that’s our beloved Don Johnson leading the famous DHS marching band…remember carrying the ladder & rope to practice “rank & file”??. If anyone recognizes any one else,please let me know,so I can edit my picture. Oh, on the freashmen float, I know Larry Tooke & Ronnie Houle are of the football players. Enjoy Crystal Fassett Andersen Class of 70 |
