Gary,
Lars and Ruby ( Mom’s sister) Sivertson live in Bottineau now. Lars still helps on the farm.
Yes, I recall where Oscar and Sylvia live(d). Not sure if there is anyone on that place at this time.
I was at the home of Oscar and Sylbia once that I know of. It was so nice in their home. I vividly remember Oscar’s affirmative gesture of “Uha, Uha, Uha”.
I get up early as my neighbor has a loud alarm clock that fires off at 5:14 am, which is just OK.
8 degrees here this am, 26 degrees is “advertised”; a heat wave. Lee
Lee, You are so right with your remembrance of Oscar Bergan. Oscar was a very intelligent man of which I think generated those gestures. He and Sylvia were wonderful folks. They are the only folks that I know of that had a hand washing facility in their out door toilet with a pitcher of water, wash basin and a towel. There was never any dirt in their premises. Everything was always tidy and clean. Gary

Hi everyone : Our kids got us a new Dell laptop for Christmas so now
we can enjoy all those things with attachments you have been sending us
and we could not open, also we will not fill up the message center as
has happened so often. But we need your help as we need all your great
names in our address book in the new computer. So please send us a
message or forward so we can add you to our list. Our new e-mail
address is: so let us hear from you
soon!!!!!! We will still have this address too for awhile until we get
used to the laptop. Thanks!!!!
We love E-mail letters, Love Tom and Dot
Tom, I have all these daily messages and a whole lot of other mail saved in my gmail account and I’ve only used a fraction of the available storage. The good part is that it’s free too. Gary
Pritchard/Bergan/Stokes Pictures:

Mary,
These are wonderful pictures. The first one of my mother, Elaine Stokes, I have never seen before. I’m assuming that is your Grandmother, Ida, and Robert Pritchard in the boat picture? Who is Eva?
With these pictures being taken in the hills, I’m guessing those not identified are some of your mother’s, Winifred Pritchard Eurich’s, family members? Hopefully some of our readers can identify these folks. Maybe Dorothy or Doris Pritchard can help us out with the identities of some of these folks? They both get copies of these daily messages. The Hospital prints these out everyday for Dorothy and Bill prints them out for his mother Doris. That’s dedication.
Thank you so much for sharing these pictures Mary.
Gary
PS – Folks, These pictures were sent by Mary Larson, owner of the Spectrum store in Bottineau. Wesley Schneider is Mary’s step dad. For a small fee, Mary will scan and send any pictures that you’d like to share. Mary is on our distribution and she has my email address.
