Once again thank you for your time as well as providing this
platform for Dunseithians (?)to reminisce. As I try to catch
up on your daily missives I have discovered 3 missing from the
past couple of weeks. They were found in my SPAM account,
every third message, #32, 35, and 38. I await #41 to determine
if this is a continuing pattern. Do others have a similar
problem? Is there a fix on my end of the message. Since I
receive most of the messages, I do not believe I have added
your name to my SPAM list?
Mel Kuhn, in your earlier messages you mentioned the play with
the Genie and your fire extinguisher prop. I think the play
was called MAX or was it MAXX. I remember being the genie and
wearing satin pants and slippers with curled up toes. I am
certain my children would love to see a picture of me in that
attire.
As I remember the fire extinguisher prop, it was a great idea.
I thought it was Duane Sebelius and you, who came up with the
original idea of handling the fire extinguisher. The fire
extinguisher used for the rehersals was a CO2 type from one end
of the high school building. Art Martel, the director of the
play, was not overly thrilled with it’s use but the noise and
fog caused by the CO2 expanding had a nice effect. The CO2
evaporated without a noticeable residue. Many of us wanted to
play with the prop after play practice and we emptied the CO2.
The Office did not want to refill the fire extinguisher so Mr.
Martel said we could do without the prop. Being the ingenious
fellow that you are, you procured a fire extinguisher from the
other end of the building in the Junior High School. Thinking,
correctly, that Mr. Martel and the Office would be watching the
High School end of the building where other CO2 fire
extinguishers could be found. The fire extinguisher for the
night of the play was a dry chemical extinguisher fully
pressurized. Without any practice I think you held your hand
on the lever a bit longer than normal. It was quite a sight.
If EPA knew we were shooting a corrosive residue in the air for
all to breath, the school would have been closed and probably
fined. I guess dry chemical is like lead based paint, a little
bit won’t kill you. But I am sure Art Martel or the Office
wanted to kill us.
Stay well, Stay warm.

What a way to start a Monday morning. I got to work and I was bogged down with phone calls and employees calling in sick and was way to stressed. I sat down read a couple of letters and laughed until I was almost sick. ha The story Dick told about his dog and fish was hilarious and the story about the grave falling in was the highlight of my morning. Thank you folks for all the great stories.
To Dick and Crystal. Thank you so much for the very nice pictures of our parents. Was really great to see them in their younger days. The last pictures you sent of your folks and the Evans and Dion’s was really nice. Thanks for all the great pictures and memories.

John and I are heading south on Wednesday for a couple of weeks. We will be attending a wedding of a niece in Sierra Vista AZ and then up to Mesa to spend Easter weekend with our kids.
Love all the memories and pictures.
Hugs and Prayers, Susan
