Folks have been replying about the owners and operators of the Stone
Garage on Main street in Dunseith. I remember that in the late ’50s or
early ’60s it was run by Dale Fugere. Dad bought a yellow ’51 Studebaker
from Dale at the garage. The car had been owned by Carl Lider and must
have been traded in or left there to be sold by Dale. One of the things
that Dale had and had probably made there was a portable fish house for
ice fishing. He removed the front fenders and hood from an old Hudson
car and then welded a hitch to the front to tow it to the lake. He had
painted it dark blue and had it sitting across the street between the
jail and the Corner Bar. I think this would have been around 1960, if I
remember right. It was at this same time that Dale and his wife lost
their first born son. I believe the little boy was named Miles. He was
explaining it to my dad in the garage when I was along. I remember how
sad it was to hear him tell about it. Dale might have been the last
operator of the garage, as a garage. I think Orlan Fuchs bought it and
opened it as a bar after the Corner Bar burned and it was a bar until it
closed many years later.
Thanks Gary!

I knew YOUR father quite well. I can see him now in his striped bib overalls with the engineers cap, I believe.

We lived three (3) blocks east of YOUR Dad’s garage. Believe that my Dad, Bob (Robert) Stickland did some mechanic work with/for YOUR Dad?

I am having a reminiscent Sat eve and attempting to tie much together.
