Beaver Dam School
Reply From Keith Pladson (66): Stafford, VA
I graduated with Donna Hanson. By that time the Hansons and the Pladsons were the only two families left in the school. And after the school year ended in 1962 we moved up by you guys, so that left only the Hansons. So there would have been little reason to keep Beaver Dam open after that. The Lawrence Wenstad family also went to school at Beaver Dam, but for some reason (I don’t remember what it was) they left Beaver Dam and started attending Dunseith a couple of years before Beaver Dam closed. Agnes Berg was the teacher for the last four years Beaver Dam was open.
We went to school at Beaver Dam for five years and when we first started attending it there were several local families with school age children – the Berchams, Botts, Hansons, Pladsons, Rivards and Wenstads. But over the course of the next five years there were fewer and fewer school age kids left each year so by 1961-62 it was just the Hansons and Pladsons.

Gary, yes we are the same age. My birthday was July 2nd. Even in school I was the oldest in my class of 1966. I was even the first of the class to have a grandchild.
But then, Augie, is 6 yrs older than we are. Sybil Johnson Posted by Neola Kofoid Garbe: Minot & Bottineau, ND
