Gary and Friends,
I remember mentioning several years ago how my grandmother used to watch things in nature and write them on her calendar. She used to look back and see how things compared over the years as she had kept every calendar since 1926 when they were married. One thing was the average date the ice had completely cleared off Horseshoe Lake in their front yard. That date was April 17 of almost every year for 50+ years.
This year I took pictures on the 16th and the 17th and guess what? I think we just have to see with our own eyes and then make a judgment call on climate change. My father in law used to say that we need a Mt. St. Helens once in a while just to show man how really insignificant he really is in the total scheme of things. Thanks Gary!
Dick

Gary ,
With lots of assistance, I got a home computer hooked up earlier this week. I note with dismay this a.m. reading the Minot Daily Obit section of the passing of someone with lots of Dunseith connections.
JOSEPH MILLANG, 43, Dunseith, died Thursday in a Devils Lake hospital. (Nero Funeral Home, Bottineau)
My heart reaches out to Lorraine (H) Millang and the family in their sorrow.
I’m up early this a.m. It’s anti-bullying week across the nation and our school,along with the local Wal-Mart’s assistance ran a poster contest among students in grades 2-6. I got excited when so many children participated. Ah, to see the creativity burst forth! I just couldn’t judge as the posters came in, and was quite happy to turn that over to a panel of five. I want each kid to continue educational pursuits with enthusiasm! AND be cognizant of bullying.This little project kept me on my toes, as the kids kept me hopping. This a.m. I needed to get up early and continue my focus on winding down the activity. Until later. As ever, Vickie
Folks, A little history about how I got this photo of Lorraine & Linda. A friend of ours from Bremerton, WA. was visiting the Peace Garden and struck up a conversation with Lorraine & Linda. They said they knew me so she took a picture of them and sent it to me. It had been 45 years since I had seen either Lorraine or Linda. I did not recognize them in the picture. Folks do change some over the years. When I posted this picture I had lots of replies from you folks letting me know who they were. Isn’t this a beautiful picture. Gary

 Reply from Lyle Olson (75): West Fargo, ND
Good morning Gary and all:I enjoyed reading Trish Larson’s news of moving to Estes Park, CO. The gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park is truly a beautiful place to live. I worked there for the National Park Service for 3 summers back in 1984 – 1987. We worked 4 ten-hour shifts and had a 3-day weekend every week of the summer. Needless to say, I explored every inch of the high mountain trails and fished for trout almost daily. Trish’s notation of sizeable elk herds is right on the mark. Elk would often invade Estes Park and destroy gardens and vegetation. The native residents understood this problem but the summer visitors were often quite annoyed. A few years back my older brother, Don, and I went through Estes Park and golfed there. The golf course is often filled with Elk and you just learn to play around them, but most importantly you must learn to play around their droppings!
The National Park Service provides cabins for its summer employees. One summer, I had the privilege to live in an apartment at the Information site high atop Trail Ridge Road, about 11,500 feet in elevation. It was hard to get a charcoal grill going at the elevation but I really enjoyed the nights as you could see the stars just as clear as clear can be at that height.
I hoping Trish enjoys her new home as much as I enjoyed living there!
