Raymond Burr and Fess Parker’s hunting trip in the Turtle Mountains:
Reply from Gloria Robillard Patnaude (69): Belcourt, ND.
In reply to Raymond Burr and Fess Parker hunting in the Turtle Mountains, it seems to be true. I know the last family that owned the Hotel in Rolla (I can’t remember the name of the hotel) I went there to go and see for myself and he showed me the rooms that they stayed in, their names were on the door . They came up here to go goose hunting. They have torn the hotel down and turned into a small park and skating rink.

Reply from Allen Richard (60): Midland, MI
I think they Parker and Burr were in our area at least once for a short period. As I recall some friends of mine form the Rock Lake area said they used to hunt geese. It stands to reason they could have been to the Lord’s lake area too. Those two fly ways were the hot spots years ago.

Viking’s in the Turtle Mountains:
Reply from Dick Johnson (68): Dunseith, ND.
Gary and friends,
Thanks to Colette for the link to the history of Viking travel to the Turtle Mountains. It tells the same story as was told to us by Ed Milligan some 40 years ago. I mistakenly said that I saw a picture of Ed holding a Viking sword when it would appear it was actually a Viking ax. The holes in the stones would be a bit hard to ‘debunk’ as the Vikings and maybe some other Europeans would have been the only ones with steel tools that could have done it. To the best of my knowledge, no people native to North America had yet discovered / invented steel. The studies of the rocks state that the tops of the rocks had flaked off around the holes. Rain entering these holes and then freezing could easily break rock. It is one of the worst problems at Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota. I watched a documentary on the constant care of the monument and the danger of ice freezing in cracks in the granite. Interesting stuff! Thanks to Colette and Gary!

Locating Judy Johnson originally from Wolford:
Reply from Lee Halvorson: Williston, ND
Gary, I don’t recall Judy’s married name. Her mother, Dora, passed away several years ago. She did remarry after moving to Kalispell back in the 60’s if memory serves correctly. Lee
Lee, With the info you provide yesterday, hopefully someone can fill in a few more of the pieces enabling us to locate Judy. Collectively we have located lots of folks. Thank you so much. Gary
Picture from Russell (64) & Glenda Fauske: Dunseith, ND.
Hi Gary,
The Fauske family was looking through photos the other night and we came across this “group photo” from the old days. We are wondering if anyone knows what the occassion was? We know a lot of the folks, but are curious as to what organization or group they were all getting together for. Help?
Thanks!
Russell and Glenda Fauske
Russell & Glenda, This is an interesting photo. Some of these folks look so familiar. The slender guy, 2nd in from the left in the back, sure looks like a Halvorson to me? Folks, please reply if you know any of these folks. I will repost with names. Gary
