Lars Sivertson has died at the age of 84. Ruby, his wife, was thought to be in less-good health but we never know.
No info RE: funeral, yet.
Gary, Lars and Ruby lived a bit west of YOU, I think.
All is good in ND, 50 degrees this 9am, leaves are definitely changing. Is a beautiful time to take a small plane from Dix to Peace Gardens. Glenn and Clarice Honsey lived just 1/2 miles east of end of runway.
Good talkin’ to Y’all.
Leland (Lee) Stickland (1964)
From the death listings in the Minot Daily news paper:
LARS SIVERTSON, 84, Bottineau, died Sunday in a Bottineau hospital. (Nero Funeral Home, Bottineau)
Lee, Shortly after I noticed Lars’s death notice in the Minot paper yesterday, I get a message telling me he had died while attending church services in Bottineau on Sunday morning. Yes, Lars and Ruby lived up in our neck of the woods a few miles east of Lake Metigoshe. They always had a pot of coffee on for Dad when he picked up their cream twice a week on his cream route. They were great folks. Lars will be missed. Our condolences go out to all of his family. Gary
Reply from Kelly Woods (89): Massena, NY
I love the picture tribute to some wonderful places in North Dakota, I was wondering if someone could take some updated pictures of Dunseith? I have not been home in 11 years and would love to see some updated sights of Dunseith? Just a thought.
If anyone has any stories to tell of Albert “Red” Pearson & Lorraine Agnes Pearson (my grandparents) I would love to hear them.
Thank you for all that you do Gary, I love your emails each and every day.

Kelly, It’s great hearing from you. I had a nice chat with your mother and Dwight in bakery when we were back in June. It was so nice seeing them again. I remember your mother well from my school days. Gary
Connie Fauske Monte (62) now lives in Santa Barbara California:
Message she sent to her friends that I thought I’d share with you folks.
We are in Santa Barbara CA, well kind of. We are located at Rancho Oso, up in the mountains above Santa Barbara. I love it, except we don’t have internet service. I have to go up to Verizon Hill to get it, which is about a mile above the ranch, or go into Santa Barbara to a Starbucks or ecafe. I love the weather and you can walk and walk. It’s kind of dirty, because it is well, a ranch with cows and horses. Lots of wildlife, mountain lions, bears, cougars (are they mountain lions?), coyotes and rattle snakes, (I don’t like that at all). The boys (dogs) love it, lots of new smells and lots of room to roam. I keep a pretty close watch on them, I don’t want them to become doggie fajitas for a mountain lion or bear.
I have a new email address, it is: Address is: Rancho Oso 3750 Paradise Road Santa Barbara, CA 93105
Betty, I did get your email, thanks so much. We haven’t had time to do much investigating the area yet. I did find a Costco, YAHOO. Too bad we live in such a small vehicle; I can’t buy in bulk anymore.
Everybody, please feel free to come and see us. For those of you that have World Mark, they have one in Solvang, which is about 30 minutes at the most from us. We have wonderful facilities here at the ranch as well, cabins and trailers that are available to rent.
So far Bob is up to his ears in work. He really likes but it sure is different from working for a Fortune 500 Company.
I miss you all so much, I can’t even tell you how much. Love you all. Connie and Bob

Thank you for your memories of Ft. Leonard Wood, Dwight, It brought another short memory of Basic training there,, the heavy set guys got sent to what they called the fat farm, until they got rid of the excess weight. So it seems that You, Dwight land, Merle Allard, Gary Stokes, Mark and David Schimetz, Boston Ladacer, Victor Baker, Duane Morin, and Arnie Evonoc (Bottineau) ND. That makes 9 of us to date. You must remember the hairs cut cuts we first got, especially funny as the long hair kids wept. lol
