Gary,

 

That is a great picture of you and Bernadette. I want to wish her a late happy birthday.

I would really be interested in the pictures of the San Haven as my dad was a patient there and then worked there for several years. I wish I would have been able to go to the Rolette Museum on that friday but we had made plans with Barbara’s aunt. I remember my dad talking about Mildred Isaakson. I also think that Dr Loeb was the doctor that operated on him. I also have a picture of the class of 1960 but I have no clue how to send it to you. Hopefully I can get some help soon. I am lost without Marv”s help when it comes to the computer.

Hi Dick, (you have the same name as the Dick Johnson married to my cousin Carol, noted below!)
I’ve been receiving the Dunseith Blog since I stopped in at the souvenir shop and met Bev Azure (now deceased as you know). I had stopped in there while visiting my cousin Carol Sletto Johnson who lives 5 miles South of Overly on the late Clara (my Mom’s sister) & Tilford Sletto farm. At the time I explained to Bev that I was coming “home” for a visit and we got to chatting. I told her that my Dad had been killed in the stock car races supporting the John Deere, at the fairgrounds, when he was killed, back in October of 1948. She told me that her folks were there at the time, and could never go back since the accident. My Mom, Ann Shjerve Tweten, my brother Johnnie, and I were also there! When Bev heard all that she said I must get on this blog as she thought I’d enjoy it….and I certainly do, even if I don’t know many.
When I read your note of the San Haven today I thought I’d contact you about the pictures/information on the San that are at the church.
My grandmother, Rønnaug Flaaten Shjerve (Mathias) Aasen (Knute) was in the San a couple of times. But I don’t know much about it. My cousin thought it was in the year of 1948 for one of the dates. So if any information would come about with any of the above names I’d love to have it!
I was born to Kenneth & Ann Tweten 12-22-1941 in the Rolette hospital and lived out at the Tweten Hereford Ranch 2 miles S of Rolette – now Eleanor Tweten Mattson lives there. Later we moved to Botno where my dad worked. My Mom was Ann Shjerve from Barton, and remarried to Harold Skjervem from Botno (1950), the son of Alma and Henry Skjervem. They are both deceased now.
Anyway, if you do come across any information I’d love to know. I intend to have coffee with Neola & her Mom in Botno when I go to the Høstfest in Minot this fall. We were neighbors in the 40’s and am anxious to meet her again. She also has so much interesting information!
Thanks,
Lois Ann Tweten (I returned to my maiden after divorce 30+ years ago.

Neola/Gary,
 
Until they joined with Peace Lutheran, this was the United Methodist Church, I think the two together are called a Federated Church. I don’t know when they combined, but I attended this church through elementary and high school. It was still running in 1978 when my mother’s Funeral was held there in early June.

Rod, You sure remind me of your dad, Howard, in this picture.
Brian, I can sure see the Hiatt in you too with your mother, Eleanor, being a sister to Howard.
