Floyd Pritchard
Memories from Sharon Zorn Gerdes (62): Windsor, CO
I remember well when Floyd Pritchard had that garage. He would donate a car and fix it all up for the demolition derby at the Bottineau county fair. My brother Bill Zorn drove those cars for two or three years, and he won the derby too. Floyd would create a great car that would outlast the others. Good memories and lots of fun to watch.

Delightful Coincidence
From Cheryl Haagenson (71): Dunseith, ND

Last evening we journeyed to Minot to attend the North Dakota State Fair! Our goal- to cheer for Rick Gottbreht ( son of George and Patti) car number 27 in the Enduro Race. During the rain delay I decided i should visit with the young girl sitting next to me. I would say she was around 11-13 years of age.
We were visiting and I told that car 27 was from my home town. ” Where is that? she asked. Dunseith I said, “Dunseith !, she exclaimed, “My Grandpa is from Dunseith.” who is your Grandpa. ” Larry Hackman”
Don’t you just love North Dakota and our web of email.
We spent the evening cheering for the favorites. She was the most delightful friendly, genuinely charming young girl. I shook hands with her Dad and her younger brother. Her name is Sadie!
Oh by the way Mr Rick Gottbreht took 3 out of 78 starters. Most exciting I think I shall go again:) who knows who will be there next time

Hi Gary,
Interesting picture and how great the people are identified. I think the stone garage was a block north of Dad’s garage. Did Lamoureux own it?

Neola, I screwed up with the name of your Dad’s garage. Was Lamoureux Brothers the Stone Garage, I don’t think so, but I’m not sure? Gary
