From Alan (42) & Phyllis Campbell:
Thanks for adding us to your continuing list!!! We’ve been getting a lot of the messages courtesy of our son Rich and daughter Cathy. Alan’s memory is fading tho some of those long ago things come back easily and we both have many good memories of Dunseith and all the wonderful people who lived (and many still do!) there. Alan and I moved to Dunseith in 1953 and he got his feet wet in a hurry after his Dad had a heart attack and needed help at the Security State Bank. We raised all four of our kids there and felt they had good educations and lots of good friends – as did we. The reunions in 1982 and again 25 years later were very special occasions for us and we are delighted you picked up the computer communication system and are keeping memories alive and well!! Best wishes to all and keep up the good work! Phyllis and Alan Campbell.

Request from Julie Knox Seier (82):
Hi Gary,
You likely have no idea who I am, my name is Julie Seier. I use
to be Julie Knox, Guy and Lola’s middle daughter. I graduated
from Dunseith in 1982. I got your name and email address from
Monte Espe, who is my Mom’s cousin. We somehow got talking
about your website at Glen Millang’s funeral. He thought I
would be interested and suggested that I email you to get
connected to the site. So here I am, very interested! I would
appreciate it so much if you are able to get me connected.
Thanks so much,
Julie Seier

From Lynn Halvorson Otto (75):
Hi Gary, I haven’t been back to ND since last summer. We go back once a year over summer break to visit family and friends. The boys, we have three sons, are leaving June 16th for the states and will come back mid August. Our oldest graduates this June and will attend NDSU, Fargo in the fall. My in-laws live near the twin cities and so we travel there first and then onto ND.
Reading over your class list for 75, so many people I have forgotten about. I look forward to getting hopefully a complete list so I can contact them just to say hello. Best regards, Lynn Otto

Gary Metcalfe’s (57) reply to Don Conroy (56):
I appreciated what you said about Bruce, Don, he truly was a gifted individual. Three years of high school with Bruce was an adventure. Some of the things that he did better than anyone else at that time were the old pin ball machine at the old bowling alley. He had that mastered. His mentors were older guys, Harvey Hobbs and George Goodsell to name a couple. He must have learned the jack rabbit business from those guys because when we went out “shining” jack rabbits on winter nights, he’d knock them over big time. And dancing…I am sure he had the corner on dancing at school dances and big dances at City Hall in Dunseith and Willow City. Good memories. Gary Metcalfe

Message & Pictures from Dick Johnson (68):
Gary and All
I found some more and haven’t heard any negative comments yet
so will send them. You can see the front of Hosmers and to the
left is the Cities Service Pumps where the AC Bar was later.
The two gals on the left I’m not sure of but the third is Mom
[Bernice Olson Johnson],Shirley Sunderland, LaRose Ketterling,
Betty Watschke, and Eleanor Awalt. The print date on the
pictures is March 18, 1946. The second photo is in front of
Kadry’s Pool Hall with Bernice, Eleanor, and Shirley. Same roll
of film but maybe not the same day. Thanks Gary!

Gary and All Friends
I knew Larry Hackman had some more stories about the old days!
Good job Larry, I’m still laughing! When you said “tipping” it
reminded me of Brenda’s uncle. He had some surgery once and
when people asked him when he could go back to work, he said
the doctor told him not to drive more than 5 or 6 miles at a
time and not to lift anything heavier than 12 ounces. Just
happened that he lived about 5 or 6 miles from the bar! He
followed his doctors orders!!
I found several pictures of uptown Dunseith in 1946. The cutie
by the showhall is Eleanor Awalt Stickland. The other is of
Shirley Sunderland,Bernice Olson Johnson, and Eleanor. This was
taken in front of the Stone Garage with the Bank and Post
Office in the background. I will send more if I don’t get to
much “grief” from the gals!!! Thanks for the help on this Gary!!
Dick
