Bev Morinville Azure’s funeral:

From Les & Myra Henning (72) Halvorson: Bottineau, ND.

Hello Gary,

We said goodbye to Bev Azure today. Our sincere condolences to her family.
I took this picture of Toni and Duane in the fellowship hall after the
funeral. Debbie was not able to attend. It was good to see the many
Dunseith and former Dunseith folks in attendance and thank you to the
ladies of the church for the delicious food. Thanks Gary and Happy
Holidays to all! Les and Myra (Henning) Halvorson

Message/newspaper article/Picture from Dick Johnson (66): Dunseith, ND

Gary and Friends,

One guy from the class of ’46 at DHS was Spencer Teal. He was the son
of Bill and Irene Teal. Bill was the depot agent at Dunseith for many
years. Spencer was traveling with a dance troupe from Paris, France and
was enroute to Japan when the passenger jet he was on crashed on Mt.
Fuji in Japan in 1966. There were no survivors. A young woman from
Leeds, ND was also on that plane. I think she was traveling as part of a
beauty pageant or similar function. I still have the Life Magazine that
tells the entire story of the crash. Spencer was in the same graduating
class as my folks and was a friend of theirs. The picture attached is of
Spencer and classmate, LaRose Ketterling, goofing around at the school.
Thanks Gary!

Dick

Yes, that is Elaine Haakenson, wife of Owen Haakenson who with Clay
Kittelson ran the Texaco station across from Dales. She now lives in
AZ and her husband is Dot’s cousin by marriage. They are friends and
he and I work together as volunteers at the Lutheran Thrift Store. When
I was teaching in Heimdal her sister Carol was a student of mine!!!!

We love E-mail letters, Love Tom and Dot

I did not realize there was another Elaine Haakenson. The Elaine Haakenson I/we know is the daughter of Arnie and Mabel Kofoid Haakenson. Is Owen related to the Bottineau Haakenson’s?

Gary Cota (56) & Marlin Cote:

Question/info from Neola Kofoid Garbe: neolag@min.midco.net Minot & Bottineau, ND

Gary,

I think you’ve said Gary Cota doesn’t have email. What class did he graduate with? I have “courthouse” pictures to send to him; I thought I’d include a note about the May 22 get-together in Dunseith–also include a list of people who plan to attend.

Also, I don’t know if anyone would be interested in knowing Marlin Cote is now living at the home. Apparently, Good Sam has a few rooms for those who don’t need much care; he’s in one of those rooms.

Thanks.

Neola

Neola, I have pasted Gary’s contact info below and an updated reunion list. Gary
