Sheep Shearing Memories
From Dale Pritchard (’63): Leesville, LA
Gary,
One more on the sheep shearing subject. Being the smallest, I was usually the one in the bag packing the wool down. I remember that a sheep’s wool never quite fit in the bag and had to be pulled down past your face. It wasn’t one of the most pleasant jobs but it was a good shoe softener. I was so glad when I could come out of the bag and stay out. We kept about 60 sheep all the time so it was a two-day job. Mom made sure we all got a good sheep tick examination at the end of each day.
In reference to sharron gottbreht shen’s comments on Mom. None of us knew about them eloping until she told us after we all got home for my Dad’s funeral. The best thing about it was that they were together just a few months short of their 60th anniversary when Dad died. I don’t remember ever seeing Uncle Norman although I’m sure I did. He joined the Navy in WWII. I believe he stayed around California and Nevada after WWII ended. My Uncle John also spent some time in the Marines during WWII.

Girls Basketball Reply from Sharron Gottbreht Shen (59): Everett, WA
We must add Marlene Kraft Amentrout to the basketball team. I sure wished to sink baskets just like Marlene and winged many a prayer that I be granted 5 more inches to qualify as a potential player. The girls of Notre Dame Academey did have volleyball however. Sharron
Girls Basketball Message/Pictures from Bonnie Awalt Houle (56): Becker, MN
Gary, In answer to the Dunseith Girl’s Basketball Coach: Dunseith had Girl’s Basketball all the years I was in High School. Some of the team members that I remember were: Doris Peterson, Betty Lou Poepple, Carol Fassett, Betty Counts, Viola Hobbs, Emma Awalt, Viola Klang,Shirley Johnson, Lois Lilleby, Donna Sunderlund, Joyce Burcham, Arlene Lamoureux, Millie Crum, Janice Leonard, Bonnie Awalt, Marlene Kraft, Lois Hiatt, Neva Haagenson, Mickey Haagenson,Elaine Schneider, Marlene Schneider, Joy Nordquist, Arliss Nordquist, Barbara Bott, Arlene Allard, Joanne Kester, Ellen Graff, Tiny Knox: Coaches were first Mr. Conroy, then Mr. Berg and next Virgil Vanorney(sp). Mr. Vanorney had a good knowledge of basketball and was a good coach. The year he coached us we did quite well. Our downfall came in the regional tournament at the Bottineau School of Forestry, when we had to play against Newburg. Newburg were the returning State Champions. They went to State almost every year in the 50’s and we were hoping to get past them, but they went undefeated that year. We had some great players over the years: Marlene Kraft, Viola Hobbs, Arlene Lamoureux, Donna Sunderlund, all had great athletic ability and could have competed with the boys in talent. The years I remember teams were 1951 through 1956. Marlene Kraft Armentrout could fill you in on the years after we graduated. Bonnie Awalt Houle 1956 Bonnie, It looks like the names in the 2nd picture got cut off. Thanks, Gary
Folks,
I have a little extra room today, so thought I’d include several pictures of a Buffet dinner we hosted at our place last night. These pictures were taken before our guests arrived. I did not take any pictures at the dinner, but many of our friends did of which they will pass along to me.
More Filipino customs and traditions. These are Filipino Catholic traditions. I’m not sure if the American Catholic’s celebrate these traditions to the extent as they are celebrated here in the PI. Each and every community, town, city and many individuals here in the PI have their Saints. Each Saint has their date for celebrations each year of which are celebrated with Fiesta’s. Bernadette’s Saints are Lourdes and Bernadette of whom she is named after. I’m not sure where Saint Bernadette fits into the picture but we have a celebration for Saint Lourdes every February with a dinner fiesta of which we had last night. We hired a catering service to come in. They set up the whole event with tables, chairs, tents and the food. We asked them to set up two buffet serving areas of which they did. We had well over 200 folks that attended our fiesta last night. It was a great evening. Folks were here until midnight. We also hired live entertainment with music. Gary
