Protocol when getting pulled over by police
Posting from Vickie Metcalfe (’70): Bottineau, ND.
Hey Gary and Dunseith Friends,
Back in 70, I was country when country wasn’t cool.
As I move through life I’ve continued this journey as a country music fan. Right now I fancy Chris and Morgane Stapleton.
Back to Coffey. Coffey is a Country singer. I noted today on You Tube he shares what to do if/when pulled over by police.
I do wish I had this tutorial years ago.
But country girls continue to learn~
A pocket book and junk in the trunk saga began about 9 years ago.
My boy Lochbuie while in his puppy hood was a __ THIEF__.
Yes, the little buggar began turning to a life of crime! Most times he was complacent about the deed.
He began by stealing money from the elderly at the nursing home. Albeit the elderly was a person he was quite fond of __ Grandma.
My mom was his first victim. It began with a dollar here or there from my sister’s coat pocket or money left on the bed or table or couch or my purse.
Was it a paper thing? No. He never bothered with stealing newspaper, note paper or paper scraps.
Buie went for big stuff, preferring paper…. currency.
He’d grab and dash. When caught in the act with me chasing down the halls of the nursing home, he’d prance back,teasing with keep away.
He gave my mom something to laugh about. And he enjoyed that~
The criminal action soon moved up to another level.
One Autumn Sunday, I left him alone in the car with Molly, parking right outside the door.
I ran in to check on Science Diet dog food at NoDak. I went for only a couple minutes. Quite pleased with my find, I returned to the car.
Molly, my senior citizen dog was sitting complacently in the shotgun seat.
As I unlocked the door I was puzzled as I witnessed a flash of white leaping over the drivers seat.
l opened the door, “Buie?” He looked guilty in the far corner of the Back seat.
I looked down at the drivers seat… at a pile of green minicule . What! Wholley Cow! BUIE!
I got down on my knees and began pushing a whole lot of fine green paper into my purse.
Whoo boy! ( People walked by wondering about ? Is she an insane lady?)
As **I remembered back! The Friday after school, I stopped at the Credit Union and got some cash.
And I had placed the $100.00 in 1’s, 5’s, 10’s , and 20’s on top of the visor. I forgot it there.
Now all that lovely currency, demoted to little scraps of green, it looked like confetti.
I drove home in to the garage, brought Molly Good Girl and Buie Bad Boy in.
My two dogs are like two year old children, they soon forget.
I dumped the contents of the purse on the kitchen table and a jig saw currency puzzle began. Scotch tape is really a wonderful invention.
Finally, I threw in the towel'”scotch tape in… when I found poor Abe’s nose was completely gone.
It was then I began the habit of putting my pocket book in the trunk of my car.
Buie had trained me.
It was all okay and fine until one March day when driving north from Bismarck. I looked in the rear view mirror.
then down at my speed. Yup. I was caught.
The patrolman came to my door and I handed him my registration. He also wanted my drivers license.
“Uh. hm”, I need to get out and open my trunk”
The patrolman was incredulous. So I splained, “Uh, hm Sir, my dog Buie is a money thief.” Thank goodness, the Westies on their best behavior, looking all innocent were with me. The patrolman allowed me to get out of the car, into the trunk to retrieve my drivers license.
Yes, I did get a ticket.
Now it is years later. I still keep my drivers license in my pocket book in the trunk with the rest of my junk.
After watching Coffey’s explanation, perhaps I will/ should/maybe put it in the front with me.
But habits are hard to change. Mine and the dogs…

Until later, keep safe everyone.

Condolences to the LaVallie family from Diane Larson Sjol (70): Minot, ND
My condolensces also to the LaVallie family. I really enjoyed the
pictures of the Morinville “kids”…I can’t tell you how much fun we
had with them growing up. When going to Dunseith to visit, we could
hardly wait until we caught sight of Aunt Lee and Uncle Bob’s house
(the Hosmer’s) and the Morinvilles which was next door….no matter
how many years there were between visits, we were always able to pick
up where we left off…
Bev, how is Debbie doing?

Reply from Dick Johnson (68): Dunseith, ND
Gary and Friends,
The newspaper article about Capt. Clark Hosmer making a belly landing,
has me wondering which ‘new pursuit plane’ he would have been flying? I
would bet our other military pilot, Bill Hosmer, would know. In 1945, my
guess was that it was probably a P 51 ‘Mustang’ but the article said
the Commander called the Curtiss plant for advice. I thought the P 51
was built by North American, although the design looks very much like
the Curtiss P 40 ‘Warhawk’, my favorite plane of all times.Did the two
companies collaborate on the design. How about it Bill? Thanks Gary!

Kenny Nerpel & John Bedard – 1965 DHS class reunion 7-12-07
John Bedard & Kenny Nerpel eating Balute from the Philippines. Balute is an egg that contains a nearly mature un-hatched chicken. It’s a deliciously eaten here in the PI. In the picture Kenny is looking his over and John just had a bite. With John’s expression, I’m not sure what his thoughts are at that moment? Gary
