Birch Trees and chaga
Posting from Vickie Metcalfe (’70): Bottineau, ND
Gary and Friends, of Dunseith,
I continue to have an inquiring mind.
Today I while reading Saskatchewan news.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon
Hmm.. “big money harvesting “chaga”.
What is chaga?
Not a clue? Searchedit out.
Holy buckets! ! I could have harvested chaga, paid my way thru many years of college and traveled many times around the world.
I walked by many birch trees with chaga, growing on the farm.
I discovered it can be ordered as a vitamin supplement from Fargo. (where I often order my vitamins)
Andm I could have used the word___CHAGA__ playing SCRABBLE with paternal aunts: Leona and Jean who were SCRABBLE wizards.
Hmmm, I wonder if beavers gnawed on chaga to gain gnaw-ledge……..
whoops_____Sorry friends must be the frigid ND polar cold has begun affecting my mind.
Then again, the beautiful SunDogs last week were quite real!
Until later, keep learning!

Football Team:
Question/Reply from Larry Liere (55): Devils Lake, ND & Mesa, AZ.
Hi Gary
Did anyone ever send in a picture of the 1955 team? If they have I sure would like to get a copy of that with names! The Cheerleaders picture from those years would also be fun to see. I do not have Barry Shelver’s address and would like to try to E-mail him. Janice I think you sent him my address but he never replied. Hope he isn’t mad at me for leaving Dunseith. In the picture below I think Barry is starting to look like his dad. Another small world story I have is Barry’s brother’s son and my son went into active duty together with the North Dakota Army National Guard. The bad news is my son Patrick got cancer and passed away when he was 23 and a senior in college at UND Grand Forks,ND.
I have asked for a read receipt because I lost my address book when I started sending from Mesa,AZ and my back-up address book is not working correctly.
Hope to hear from you,
LARRY
Reply from Allen Richard (65):
I’m in a similar boat with Ron Longie. Alaina is in school until the second week in June, is taking a college class during the summer and has a week of band camp before the MI cherry Festival. This is the 43rd year the school band has marched in that parade. Nathan, Kristina and new Grandson Landon plan to be in ND in August. They live in Delta Junction, Alaska. Nathan is in Homeland Security. (something about shooting down whatever N. Korea shoots up—-) We are trying to see if they can come to MI- Nathan has not been to the home we built in 2005– SOOO, If I get to ND at all, it will be in August—and I’ll miss the Richard reunion as well. I’m sad about that. Many of the cousins from those branches of the tree I’ve not seen in well over 20-30 years.
To everyone that can make it—Have one to toast/curse me!

Can anyone identify them..
Glen Williams
Glen, My guess is that Dick Morgan is on the left. I have no idea who the other guy may be? Gary
Kenny Nerpel receives Viet Nam Medal:
Folks, Yesterday Bernadette found this clipping, in an envelope with other clippings, when she was digging thru some old papers.
Kenny, I believe you were in Viet Nam from Late 1968 thru most of 1969. We completed basic together in August 1968. From there I believe you went to Fort Polk, LA for AIT, then to Viet Nam??
Scott Houle’s first birthday:
Hans Petterson’s (Brother to Bob Stokes) Obituary:
Folks, this is another clipping that I found. Hans died in December 1974, so that has to be when Scott had his first birthday. Scott is the son of Ron Houle (71).
Ron, where is Scott living now? Being in Germany at the time, I’m assuming you must have been stationed in the army over there?
