Hi Gary and all! Cathy told me this was on your wonderful communication and I finally got it (not bacause I’m so busy but just didn’t take the time!). We had been up to our Lake Metigoshe cabin to get it ready for Rich, Vicky, their son Kyle, wife Grace and two children plus daughter Nicole, her husband John Grubb and son to spend this week there! First time they had all been together in the same place at the same time and it’s been a wonderful week for them. We stopped at the Pride Dairy ice cream parlor to try the famous “Cow Pies”!! Found them delicious and generous! Cathy took us up there again this past Tues to celebrate several June and July birthdays and what a day! Fun to have children grandchildren and great-grandchildren together for us to enjoy! We truly are blessed!We do like it here in Minot at the Wellington and if any of you have time to stop we’d love to see you. Alan and I will be riding in the Wellington bus in the State Fair Parade on Sat. July 24 and tho you probably won’t see us, we’ll be waving!

Hasen’s Variety Store:
Message from Cheryl Haagenson (71): Dunseith, ND
 
As I drove down Main Street in Dunseih today, I noticed alot of commotion North of the Sinclair Station ( formerly known to me as Roberts’. Well for heaven’s sake , they were tearing down Hasen’s Variety Store. I had a flashback of going into the store walking on creaking floor boards through the aisles to the back of the store with the low hanging ceiling. The clerk, Mrs. Hassen or Neil, would reach up and pull the string attached to the bare light bulb and begin the search for my new overshoes. They had alot of stuff in the store. Perhaps they are going to build a new one, one with penny candy and rainbow stripped toffee, with keds shoes, four buckle overshoes and bib overalls, I suppose that is too much to wish for!

Mel
I imagine it makes you feel purity damn good that you have all these upper classmates worried about your well being.
We all care Mel.
Bill and I were just appointed spokesman for the group.
We want you, to congratulate your son on his safe return, and would like you too, to also thank him for his service for us.
Once you get him traveling with you, we all know you will make it back to us, safe and sound.
Them soldiers, are all taught to give First Aid and CPR if you need it. So if you have an attack with your son there,
I know he might break a few of your ribs and fracture your sternum, but he will defiantly get you back to us in one piece.
We are all hoping for the best for your family and of course you.
What would this blog be, without the St. John critique?
May your family and you have a safe and enjoyable trip.
We will be waiting for a full report when you get back and we just don’t want to here about the damn humidity.
Does that cover everything Bill, or do you have something to add?
Feel free to do so.
Mel likes it when we show a little sympathy and concern.
Have a good day and a good trip.
Larry
Bill Grimme’s (65) reply
 
Larry,
 
As usual, you covered it all very well. All I would add is that if you, Mel, get close to Birmingham, AL, you are certainly always welcome to stay in the “Grimme Inn” there.
 
Have a great trip
 
Bill

Elwood Fauske Family:
 
This is a beautiful picture. I counted 59 in this photo. Arlinda (Lindy), You are a mirror image of your mother, Eleanor, and she too is a beautiful lady.
 
Folks, Eleanor and Elwood look so nice in these pictures. It’s hard to beleive that Elwood is celebating his 90th birthday and that he and Stubby have been married nearly 68 years.
 
Fauske siblings in this photo: Brian (5th from the left), Carrole (6th from the left), Connie (Hands on Elwood), Russell (Back row one over to the right above Eleanor’s head), Beth (7th in from the right standing), Arlinda (Lindy – Extreme right). Note: The only Fauske Sibling I am not sure of in this photo is Brian. Gary
