Happy Easter Everyone,
The period Wednesday Noon thru the Monday following Easter is a legal holiday season here. All major malls are closed Thursday and Friday. On Good Friday (today) things are locked down tight. Many of the businesses and all malls will be open Monday, but with holiday pay for their employees.
We had a very enjoyable dinner last night with 14 friends at our good Swiss friends, “Café Engelberg”, restaurant. Very good food with a decent price with superb pampered hospitable service.
The guy on the left with the hat is my first cousin Jack who is visiting from Edmonton Alberta CA. Jack’s mother and my dad were Twins. The guy on the end is Dr.(Psychiatrist) Dave Sandness, cousin to Richard (Dick) Sandness who work at First National Bank in Bottineau for many years. The rest of the guys are Canadian and American. Of Coarse the gals are all Philippine.

Vickie, we are looking forward to Sunny days in August.
Hopefully Angel will have her Tourist Visa by then too. Keep our fingers crossed.
This will be Angel’s first trip to the USA. She is dearly looking forward to this trip too, to meet many of you folks.
January 1971 is the very last time I was back in North Dakota in the Winter months.
Mid-May to Mid-September is my/our time frame to visit.

Obituary for Christopher Pitsiladis

View details at https://www.nerofuneralhome.net/obituary/christopher-pitsiladis
Gary and friends of Dunseith,
I wish to extend sympathy to the Pitsiiladis family on the passing of their beloved, Chris.
I recall Chris whist he attended elementary school here in Bottineau, I believe in Mrs. Mavis (Art) Hagen’s class.
He was quiet, serious and kind.
A couple years ago I was delighted to see him again at his family restaurant business in Rolette.
There, he was a remarkable young man with a passion to prepare and cook an excellent meal for his patrons.
I enjoyed my meal and speaking with him. (His family siblings had Dunseith School ties.)
Sincerely
Vickie L. Metcalfe
