Condolence to the Johnson family
From Ron Peltier (’70) Dunseith, ND
Condolences to the Johnson family on the passing of Albert. Albert was part of my class whom I thought was a very intelligent and outgoing individual. I had the utmost respect for Albert, his sisters and brothers. Albert lived in Rolla a few years back and he made a point for me to come and visit him, talked about the old days and about his sickness. I also knew his mother and father very well, use to have a few beers with his dad in the Corner Bar after I turned of age, and Velma taught me how to play pinochle after our catechism class on Wednesday evenings. Rest in Peace my friend, we will meet again.

Gary,
I was doing some research on Pop’s CCC Camp when I ran across this Site. http://dunseith.net/blog/?p=7611
Wanted to tell you how nice it was to see Pop’s CCC Bio posted there with the Kramer CCC Picture at the bottom. Thanks to Tim Martinson, It made for a warm place in my heart.
I also saw your photo from Vietnam and want to thank you for your Service and Sacrifice. I was lucky and did not have to go to Vietnam. I was in Army 67-68 and another 22 year in the Army Reserve. Pop was called for service in summer ’42 but failed physical several times. He always regretted no being able to serve, so I did my best to even it out.
Thanks again, I really appreciate your kindness in posting his Bio.

Larry,
Thanks for the nice reply and kind words. That picture and article was posted with blog number 2087 on 9/7/2014. Click on this link http://dunseith.net/blog/?p=7611 and go all the way to the bottom of that day’s posting.
I too spent time in the Reserves too. 25 years. When we turned 60 we were officially retired army soldiers with all of the benefits too.

I forgot to tell you that Garry and I had been smelling gas from the washing machine, that was the reason we fell asleep, you probably figured that out anyway.

Dunseith Alumni Reunion in Seattle: Folks, We agreed in contract negotiation with the Best Western hotel, located near the space needle, to give them periodic reports with the number of folks we have signed up for our reunion banquet on July 24th. Bill Grimme will be giving them our first report on April 21st. We currently have 150 slots on hold. They will use our report to evaluate future requests from other groups for the number of slots they can offer them. There is a strong likely hood that we may loose a lot of our unused slots to other groups. We want to give everyone the opportunity to sign up while the slots are available. If for some reason you can not attend, Bill can refund your money up until the time he has to make the final payment to the Best Western for our group on July 21st. If we do not give them reports, they may hold us accountable for all 150 slots whether we fill them or not. The Best Western can accommodate 4 groups at the same time by dividing their banquet room into fourths. Gary To attend this dinner, just fill in the following selections for you or your party, send Bill a check, and he will return a receipt.

This is their wedding picture and they were married June 30, 1928 in my grandparent’s home near Thorne. Mother had copies made in 1980 for each of us children and our copy is sitting on our organ. Here in Grand Forks, there is alot of preparation for a flood. The city of Fargo is in alot worse condition then we are. The basement in our home had substantial damage in 1997 and we are trusting that the flood this year will not be as bad. Our city has built dykes that are good for sixty feet and the predicted river crest is fifty feet: however, in 1997 the predicted level was forty-five feet and the water went to fifty feet. We do not live in the flood area but you have heard the phrase if my house goes the whole city will go and it did. We have purchased flood insurance again. Thank you for the great job that you do. We appreciate all your work. Betty and Bill Lamb Pete/Sofie Schneider – June 30, 1928 |
