Good day folks,

I don’t have any new postings for today, so I will just continue with the reposting of older postings from 2009.

I have also included several maps of Cebu to give you an idea where we are located in the world. We live in Consolacion located about 7 miles north of Cebu City in the center of the island of Cebu. As you can see in the bottom picture, we are pretty close the Equator. Less than 400 miles.

The island of Cebu is long and slender. Cebu island is about 150 miles long from tip to tip. There are 4 plus million people on this Island, so there are lots of people. Most don’t have cars, but motor cycles are becoming very popular and abundant. Buses, Jeepneys, and Motor Cycles for hire are the main modes of transportation for the locals. Most Motor Cycles are about 100cc, so they are small.

This is our 14th year living here. We really like it here. It’s summer every day of the year too. The Filipino people are known to be some of the most friendly social people in the world too. They like the Americans, western and European culture people. They Envy our English speaking tongues. I always tell them I envy them too for all the Languages that they speak.  I tell them I only know English. Most of the locals can speak 3 languages.  Tagalog (Filipino) the national language, Cebuano the local language and English.

Highway 43 with Dick & Brenda Johnson will be performing at the Hostfest daily:

Gary and Friends,

Gary Metcalfe–Sorry I misunderstood the Harry-Harold Larson
relationship. Brothers they are.

We have gotten many requests for the CD of our live performance,
thanks for the support and encouragement. We had an interesting call
last night. We had been scheduled to play on a side stage at the
Hostfest in Minot this week starting Wednesday. One of the entertainers
had to cancel with illness and the honchos asked us to move to one of
the main stages and fill the slot. We now are on at noon and 4PM, two
performances each day for all four days. We have four different song
sets so no two shows each day will be the same. I hope we get to see
some of our classmates and friends during the week. Please stop by for a
visit if you folks are in Minot. Again, thanks to everyone for your
support and encouragement. We really appreciate it! Thanks Gary!

Dick

Hi Gary The Harry Larson that you are referring to is the Larson that was married to Alice Evans Berube’s sister Esther Tennancour. They had 2 children George and Jani Larson Myhre Janie is in Spokane and George is in Pittsburgh, He died 1986 and Esther died 1-15-1991,

Jan, I have located a phone number for Janice Myhre in Spokane, WA. I left a message with her voice mail. With the info you have provided I believe the death records that I posted several days ago for Harry and Esther Larson are correct. My question now to everyone, is Janice Myhre related to the Myhre’s in Rolette? Thanks, Gary
