Howard and Ray Wilson Question
Hi Gary and Everyone:
Howard Wilson used to come to our house in dunseith during the school year, and wanted me to help him learn the guitar. I believe his father was either pastor of a missionary church north of Dunseith or he was an agent for the native American community. I remember Ray Wilson was the Justice of the Peace. I also remember he had a pronounced limp. I got to wondering about them and wondered what became of the family. I never hear their names mentioned. Perhaps someone can fill in the gaps since 1943

Deer Heart Lodge reply:
Gary and Friends,
In answer to Lois Tweten’s question about Deer Heart Lodge, only some small stonework still remains. They are now in the yard of the Kenny Hill farm. Kenny’s son was living on the farm the last I heard. I think everything else is now gone. There are pictures of what it used to look like in the Dunseith history book—Prairie Past and Mountain Memories. The books are still available at the bank in Dunseith, last I heard. I would also like to thank Lois for the compliment on our music at the Hostfest. The place where we played this year wasn’t the best for us to interact with the audience. Hopefully next year we will be on a better stage—just one of those things. Thanks Lois and Gary!

Gary,
As long as Dick is telling the little quick stories I have one from back in my lumber selling days. Gary this may also be helpful to you seeing as you are in a construction project. This older fellow[probably someone about Dick’s age]came in and said he wanted to buy some 2X4’s. I asked him how long he wanted them. He said he wanted them for a long time cause he was gonna nail them to his house!!
