Posting from Vickie Metcalfe (’70)Bottineau, ND
Gary and Dunseith Friends,
Last evening, I had the opportunity to attend a wonderful celebration at the Bottineau Armory.
Yesterday, Lorraine(Handeland) Millang was wed to Orly Kjelshus in a private church ceremony.
It was a delight to see Lorraine and Orly sharing happiness with so many friends and relatives.
I believe, I saw every old neighbor from the hills accompanied by, their grown children, grandchildren and even great grandchildren!
Many of these people have shared friendship and neighboring back….. 3 , 4 and 5 generations in the hills!
It seems, Orly and Lorraine danced every dance be it, a waltz or a polka.
Wow, neat to see children and grandchldren learning how to keep time in
old time dance steps from patient grandparents and great grandparents.
Like the dances of long ago a lunch was made by the family and served simply.
Lorraine’s great- niece, Amber made over 250 cupcakes for the occasion.
Congratulations Orly and Loraine on your journey TWO-STEPPING through life together!
Vickie Metcalfe

Larry Hackman’s (66) message to Mel Kuhn (’70)”
Mel
Back in the day, this is the way I looked (picture below) after being convinced to eat some of my sisters mud cookies. “Larry eat them damn cookies so that they quit their bawling and bothering me, I have to get these cows milked, the milk and cream separated, and calves fed, and supper cooked, the men will be in from the field soon, and they will be hungry.” Now, I know Dick and Gary don’t have any sisters so I suppose they followed the cows around the pasture in the spring time after they had been eating some of that luscious green grass, that was showing up after the snow melt or one of them beautiful Spring rains, to find their cookies? Do you have any pictures Mel? I don’t recall if you, “Mel” had any sisters, but I heard tell of a young fellow that lived along Willow Creek, south of town, that followed the herds of sheep around the pasture looking for milk dudes? I heard tell, you had to taste them damn things to find out if they were dud or ____, Is that right?
Larry

Folks, don’t forget to turn your clocks back. Today, November 1st being ‘All Saints day’ is one of the most major holidays in this country. Everyone flocks to the cemeteries to visit their loved ones. Most set up tent covers and spend most of the day and tonight too, with lots of food and drinks (no alcohol is allowed in most cemeteries). Some even have food catered. Bernadette has prepared a lot of food that we will be taking to her dad’s grave sight today. We set up several tent covers over his grave yesterday. I will accompany her to her dad’s grave sight today along with a lot of her relatives. Later this evening she and her sister will join more of her relatives in the other part of the city where her grandparents are buried. Tomorrow morning we will pick up the tent covers along with some of those that spent the night at her dads grave. With all the traffic today, it will probably take us several hours to get to her dads grave sight 5 miles up the road. In these conditions, I have just learned to be patient. Gary

Gary, Note the discharges from Trinity. I know Florence Sime will continue to be involved in PT. Physical Therapists are most relentless in motivating people to recovery. Go Florence Go! October 31, 2009
Email address correction for Jim Metcalfe
Gary S & Gary M, I’m sending a correction to our brother, Jim Metcalfe’s email address; it should be Geri, The mistake is mine. Your brother Gary sent it to me correct. When I copied and pasted Jim’s email address for posting the “j” got dropped. I had it correct in all of my other lists. Thanks, Gary
