Randy Kelly, Former St. Paul, MN mayor, plans on visiting Bottineau/Dunseith
Message from Randy Kelly (’69):  St. Paul, MN.

Happy birthday Gary. You don’t look a day over 60. R you back in ND this summer? Was thinking of you this morning since I think I will be in Bottineau the week of August 15th for a client. Will stop and visit the Fauske’s for sure. Randy

Gary’s Reply:

Thanks Randy and for the nice compliment too. You are being nice too.

I’d love to be in Bottineau/Dunseith next month, but unfortunately I won’t. With Bernadette’s condition I am not sure when I will be back. She wants to go back to the states in the worst way too, but with her condition I don’t want to chance taking her back, having a spell and not being able to get her back here to the Philippines. I’d feel very guilty going back by myself too, so I won’t.

I visited your  uncle  Elwood and Eleanore Fauske, numerous times, at Good Samaritan with my visit to the area last July 2015. They are actually doing very well. Very shortly they will be celebrating their 74th wedding anniversary too. Gary

Hi Gary and All, The new Cowboy’s Stadium is “OUT OF THIS WORLD”!!! I’ve been watching it go up since the beginning and it still amazes me. We had the opening and a NASCAR race going at the same time. It’s so grand that I took a part time job there, security. So that means in 2011 when we have Super Bowl, I’ll be there and my brothers and friends who actually under stand the game will be watching for me. Yes, Sometimes life if fair. The schedule changes on a weekly basis. I do know that I will be working on Oct. when U2 comes to play. Who knows, maybe by then I will actually understand part of the game. Sorry Guys, I feel for you. Susan Johnson

Gary,

Here are a few photos from the Christy Strong (my first cousin
once removed) and Shane Pollman wedding that was held outdoors at
the Jerry Strong residence in Dunseith. It appears that New York
City fashion is making its way into the Turtle Mountains. The
reception and dance was held at the Bingo barn immediately
following the wedding. It was around 45 degrees and threatening
rain(or snow), but we hardy North Dakotans hardly noticed and
don’t let stuff like that interfere with our fun. The celebration
was very well attended and afforded the opportunity to visit with
many friends and relatives.

Congratulations Christy and Shane!

Kenny

Kenny, I should know some of these folks, but I just can not place any of them. Who are the guys with the Leather Jacket’s with the red and black head gear? Gary

Gary and Friends,

Tonight I found the Minot Daily News article about Peter W. Poole. Mom
sent me this article while I was at UND in Grand Forks, in November
1971. It makes for some interesting reading and some humor for those of
us who knew Pete personally. It is a full page article and may be
needing some of Gary’s editing, as I had to scan it in three separate
scans. Thanks Gary!

Dick
