Folks, I screwed up again yesterday with the numbers. Yesterday’s message was number 898, not 897. I realized my mistake when I was posting it on the Website, so yesterday’s message is posted with the correct number. Gary
Bill & Pat Hosmer Memories
From Jan Hosmer Cobb (60): Wilsonville, OR
Gary
My cousins Bill and Pat Hosmer were always so special to us growing up and older. Both would talk with us younger folks with attention, respect and interest. How wonderful to be treated with such genuine affection as youngsters and to have that relationship extend into adult friendships. A gift.
As adults, Pat and I shared an interest in books and occasionally recommended this one or that one to each other. We had fascinating conversations because she had so many interests and was so knowledgeable. Pat had charm and calm and intelligence and warmth. She is irreplaceable.
I am writing this to remind myself and all of us how important our relationships with our extended families can be. Cousins, Aunts, Uncles – all of us have the opportunity to have positive and lasting influence. What better gift?

From Pam Fassett Faust (65): Lilburn, GA
To Bill Hosmer – I’m so sorry about Pat’s passing, but thank God she’s now in heaven where she belongs. I talked with my Mom (Dorothy Fassett) tonight, and she told me that Pat was gone. She will be very much missed, but I know her friends and family will remember her with love and for everything she meant to so many people. I’m so sorry. Love, Pam (Fassett) Faust
To Bill Hosmer,
From from Geri Metcalfe Munro (59): Fargo, ND.
Bill, We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Pat. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in these difficult times. The loss is hard, but her suffering is gone. She will be missed, but the memories are there. Bill, as a reminder, we are all here for your support. We felt we knew your parents, Jack and Inez, Bob and Lee as you were far ahead of me in years at DHS and they
hunted on my Dad’s farm, Jim Metcalfe north of Dunseith, near the Peace Garden. It is fun to remember how Jack would give my Dad a hat from his store; Bob would extend Gold Bond ?? credits for my Mom to get the china she wanted….that was special!!.
God bless you, Bill and family…..

Irene (Mrs. Bob) Stickland’s relationship to Neola and My relatives.
Folks, Alney Kofoid, a cousin of Neola’s and mine, is marreid to Lorna Adams, who is Irene Stickland’s Neice. Neola asked me how Lee Stickland was related to Lorna. Gary
Gary’s reply to Neola
Lee’s mother was an Adams. Mrs. Lars Sivertson is also a sister to Lee’s mother and Lorna’s dad. Lee’s dad, Bob Stickland, was our mail man for 28 years.
Neola’s message to Lee Stickland
Hi Lee,
I happened to see this email when I was looking for a different one.
I don’t know if you/someone else has mentioned your mother was an Adams. I’m assuming you know an Adams family lived in the Kramer/Gardena area.
Raymond Gust, my husband’s “first” cousin, was married to Violet Kuebler Gust. Violet’s mother, Anna Adams Kuebler, was an Adams. I think it was quite a large family. Pearl Adams Nelson also belonged to this Adams family. Pearl’s grandson and one granddaughter were my students in Minot.
Raymond/Violet lived app. one mile north of Kramer, ND. Pearl Adams Nelson lives on a farm near Lansford, ND.
I don’t know if you are interested in what I’m writing, so I’ll stop for now. 
Neola

She and I began in nursing homes at Dunseith when we started from “scratch” and cleaned it all up to NO deficiencies. I did that in Dickinson, Mandan Milwaukee and in Boise Idaho. THe man who owned Dickinson at the time I worked there had sold it bought others, one being in Boise, He called me to come to Boise and I told him that I had 9 in Milwaukee which would take another years, he said he would call me back then, he did and we moved to Boise in late 1988
