Shelver Drug Store
Reply from Lee Stickland (’64):  Dickinson, ND

LEE here.  I feel honored and compelled to contribute to the Shelver Drug Store legend.  When our Mother discovered a health-related situation in our home that exceeded her excellent German upbringing, she found it easy to call Glen and ask his input; esp. @ nite.

Glen was kind to offer ameliorative advice if appropriate or to facilitate further steps to satisfy the situation.

Darrel (Doc), Dean and I each had a paper route.  Mine was the first; I took over from Darrel Haberstead .  His mother ran the show for the ‘transfer of operations (money)’.  It was only after Dad got the Minot Daily News man involved that I was able to make a “go of it”.

Anyway, back to the drug store.  Each fourth (4th) Saturday I would collect for the papers that I had delivered.

I would unerringly go to the drug store and for only 75 cents could get a large chocolate malt, a juicy hamburger and a generous side of french fries.

One Saturday night some fellows whom I thought were my near-friends wanted me to share my collected money with them.

They got some of it.  The next time that was attempted, I had 2 old-fashioned “church keys” in my pockets.  Once I presented them and stated that I may draw red, that never happened again; to me or to my brothers that I know of.

So glad for YOUR efforts to keep OUR blog going, Gary.  I would like to contribute to it, if that could help:

so that you have content and do not need to walk the street of CEBU to gain NEWS,

Say, I hear fireworks and I notice that it is 5 minutes before midnite, 2016.  I watched the ball fall in New York on the TV in the DR 2 hours ago.  Now it is our turn.  YOU had your turn many hours ago, I reckon: right?

Folks, I went up and got a hair cut and a foot scrub at one of the local beauty parlors located in our local mini mall here in the Philippines the other day. The hair cut cost a dollar and then I gave the guy a dollar tip, so 2 dollars in all. I got a very thorough foot scrub with nail clippings and the whole bit. They scrubbed away all the old calluses and dead skin leaving my feet as smooth as a babies butt. The whole process took about 2 1/2 hours. The foot scrub cost 5 dollars, so with a 2 dollar tip, 7 dollars in all. Bernadette’s manicure and pedicure cost 2 dollars total. That’s 50 cents per limb. What a deal. Gary From Larry Hackman (66): Bismarck, ND Gary A beautiful day in Dakota today. The sky was clear with a slight breeze. The sun was shining. The snow was melting. The water was running. The birds were singing. The geese were flying. Spring has sprung. My thermometer showed 60 degrees in the shade. I went out and washed the car on the driveway in between the piles of snow without a jacket. I even got a little sunburned. I have to say it again. A truly beautiful day here in Bismarck after a long winter. Just so you don’t get homesick and jump on an airplane and come flying in to enjoy spring in the Dakotas. You have to remember that Spring here includes snow and they are talking 3 to 4 inches next week. Them flocks of geese that were flying today were flying both ways. The flocks flying north were honking with joy. The flocks flying south had been up north and saw the snow in the fields and the ice on the lakes and were honking their disappointment as you know they want to get up north to lay their eggs and start their families. It still was a beautiful sight and at least reminded a person that summer isn’t to far off and that it is good to be alive to enjoy days like this. I’ve worked outside most of my life and I know there are not too many perfect days like today. Hope you had a good day, I did. Take care and again thanks for all that you do. Larry Folks, I want to share this message of Lee (Leland) Stickland’s with you. Lee and Gloria have registered for our cruise. Unless told other wise, Lee has told me I can post what ever he sends.
