Greetings Dunseith Alumni and Friends,
Again I am so sorry for the long delay in getting these messages out. I have not forgotten about you folks and will post whatever you send me.
Things have been rather busy for me the past few weeks.
Following covid shutdowns our Bowling has resumed. For lack of volunteers, I have ended up being the designated one in charge, keeping track of everyone’s bowling Data; Scores, Averages, attendance, etc. Doing that I had to set up a computer excel program to manage all the data. That took some time too.
Please keep the postings coming.
Gary

Yeah it would be yellow corners I drove on highway 3 from density to rugby many times and that’s the only place that resembled a store. It was kind of like the prairie version of Kelvin store.

Hello Gary,
I wanted to update you with information about my dad’s memorial service; it will be held at 3pm local time on Thursday Oct 7th at Dickinson Cemetery. I’d hoped that the pandemic would have been closer to being fully controlled by now, but I’m unwilling to wait any longer. We’ll be doing a graveside service to keep things as safe as possible for everyone, and hope the wind and weather cooperates.
I should have a written obituary to share with you soon.
Eric Stickland

Eric, I am so sorry I didn’t get this posted before your Dad’s memorial. Things have been pretty busy for me lately.
Please forward his Obituary to me when you have it prepared.

We extend our condolences to Mary and all of her family with the passing of her son Bobby. I Didn’t know Bobby, but I knew his parents, Bud and Mary very well. Like his parents, I know he was a good outstanding citizen.
