Please change my e-mail address from to
Thanks for all you do, and I look forward to meeting your and your lovely wife on the 2/12 cruise. I am hoping to get many 1975 classmates to go along.

Lyle, I have updated all my files with your new email address. We too are looking forward to meeting you on the cruise in 2012. It will be so nice if a lot of your class of 75 folks can join us as well. We are expecting a lot of folks for this cruise. Dunseith will be rocking the boat. It’s always so much more fun with a group and in this case a group of Dunseith Alumni from all around the nation and the globe. Your friends are welcome to join us too. I got some really good positive feed back from the friends of our Alumni that joined us on the Alaska Cruise last year with just how friendly the Dunseith folks are. Our reputation follows us.
Folks, Please contact Gina at 1-866-870-6986(toll free) to make your reservations for the Dunseith Caribbean Cruise in February 2012. The earlier the better to get your desired cabins. When they are gone they are gone and you are left with the left overs. Your deposit is refundable. Gary

Yes, Brenda – I agree with Aggie on the picture of NYC. Its amazing
how many interesting places there are in the U.S. – and NYC alone. I
have read about so many from DHS who have traveled – not only America
but many places in the world that are so interesting. After reading
Nancy Hosmer writing about Santa Fe, NM, I want to go there and
visit. Each place has its own personality – for better for worse. I
have been back to NYC about 6 times and in retirement I have driven
charter buses there on tours – I think its one of the few vehicles
that has an edge over those yellow taxis that move like they own the
streets. A bright, young Jamestown College student put it perfectly
in her description of traffic as we moved through the city. She said,
“I think traffic rules here are just theory.”
I was fortunate in that I visited the city once again, about a month
before 9/11 and as part of the tour, went into the towers. My
daughter Vanessa who lived there was at the building site when the
attack occurred and she was evacuated. My wife and I just sat at home
waiting for the phone call from her because we knew she was probably
in the gym there at that time. The call came from Vanessa at about
11:00AM – home in Washington Heights. A lot of tears.
That was the day Vanessa decided she would no longer live in NYC. She
completed her degree at CUNY and moved to Seattle where she is now.
She loves it there and it is also a very nice place – but I little bit
too cloudy for me. She only goes back to NYC to visit. It is great
to visit but always great to come back. Visiting is great – living
there – no.

Gary,
After closely reviewing the photos sent by Ele Slyter, I believe both photos are of the same boy but about 3 years (+/- 1 yr) between the photos. Sorry, I can’t help identify the handsome young boy though.
Joe Johnson (77)
Joe, I agree, I think this may be the same boy.
Folks, do any of you have any guesses as who this may be? Gary
