Clifford Allery Memories
From Ginger LaRocque Poitra (’65): Belcourt, ND
Hi Gary,
I just read of Clifford on this email. I was very much surprised to read that he had passed away.
Clifford was a friend of ours, Lana and myself, while in school.
We, after we were all doing what we chose to do in life, Clifford and I would visit when we would meet, that didn’t happen so much. In fact I had just seen him when I was getting my eyes tested, that was a month or ago. He was there with his brother Hubert. Now I know why it happened, it happened because it would be the last time I would ever see him again.
I was not able to make it to the funeral today because I try not to go out in the cold.
I always remember back in our school days how he was always making jokes, him and his sister Judy. Although he graduated before us in 1962 with my sister JoAnn, he would join in with his sisters and us in our neighborhood. It was kinda like the Morinville family, neighborhood kids getting together doing fun things.
I would just like to say to the family how sorry I am that you lost your brother Clifford. He had a good heart. I know he will be missed a whole lot by all of you and his friends. Keep him in your hearts he will be unforgettable by all.
You will all be in my prayers.

Miss Vivian Hewson, PE teacher at Dunseith, sister passed away

Gary and Dunseith School Friends,
I would like to extend sympathy to the families of Beverly Medalen, including her sister Vivian a former Dunseith teacher.
When I read her obituary I thought, “she sounds she was like a remarkable teacher.
I felt, her sister, Miss Vivian Hewson, PE teacher at Dunseith another remarkable teacher.
( I was one of those reluctant students at climbing ropes in gym).
(Mrs. Medalen’s daughter in law, Nikki is the daughter of cousin Margaret Margaret Metcalfe Casavant.).
Sincerely,
Vickie Metcal

From Ron (71) & Janet Houle: Kensington, MN
Hi Gary – Ron was in the US Army stationed in Kaiserslautern, Germany from 1972 – 1976. Larry Barbot, his wife Hilde and daughter Ilene also lived in KTown. Patty Barbot Froseth and her husband Gary were also stationed nearby. It was nice to have friends from ND over there. Scott was born at Landstuhl Hospital. He now lives in the Brooklyn Center, MN and works in Ramsey MN.

Hi Gary,
The very handsome man on the right of Dick Morgan (in the picture ) is my wonderful brother Clayton (Kick) McKay. He and Dick have been friends since high school. Dick was a frequent guest at our home. We always looked forward to his visits and still do. A few years ago the two of them hosted a Dick and Kick flick for their classmates at the Mckay place just south of Dunseith.

Janice & Phyllis, I see both of you live in Auburn, WA. How far apart do you live from one another? Phyllis, you have a beautiful home. You are such a great host too. Bernadette & I truly enjoyed your invite to have dinner with you following our cruise last August.

Gary and Friends,
The two fellows in the picture are Dick Morgan and Clayton ‘Kick’ McKay. Two of Dunseith’s more colorful characters! I have a cute short story about Kick. He went to Minot with Lowell Leonard a couple years ago and they stopped at the truck stop for breakfast. The menu was on the wall and had– One egg, two eggs, three eggs–etc. with prices accordingly. Same with bacon–one strip, two strips, three strips—etc. Lowell said he asked for two scrambled eggs and toast. Kick hadn’t seen the wall menu and just asked for a couple eggs and bacon. The waitress asked how much bacon? Kick looked at her a while and said, “Oh, whatever you can spare.” Lowell said he about fell off his chair laughing at Kick’s answer! Thanks Gary!
