In reply to Mona Dionne Johnson’s 48th b,day. Are you sure she’s only 48?? I worked @ St. Andrew,s hospital back in the 70’s & Mona was working in Medical records then & had to be in her forties!! Nice pictures of Mona & her sisters!! Connie (Zorn) Landsverk
1948 is the year Mona graduated from high school. With all the Dunseith alumni reading these messages, it’s my way of indicating their class year. I know listing it this way it can easily get interpreted as the persons age. Gary

Gary: Neither of my sisters attended school in Dunseith. My sister,
Sister Marlyss lives at Maryvale, a couple of miles north of Valley
City. My sister, Elaine lives in Mesa, AZ. She last visited here in
2005.

Happy Birthday Mona
From Margaret Metcalfe Leonard (65): Rolette, ND
Happy Birthday, Mona. It’s wonderful to celebrate special occasions especially with close family and friends! Your parents lived next door to Chuck and me when we lived in town, Rolette. They were wonderful neighbors. Your Dad would pick strawberries from the patch next to their house and give them to Nikki and Chris……they thought that was really a treat! I think Chuck knew Hylas and Josie all his life. He talked about going to their store in Thorne after Mass. The neighbors would pick up groceries and visit. Jim Leonard, a proud Irishman, couldn’t understand what they were saying as they spoke French, but I’m sure Irene interpreted for him. Those were the days. I drove through Thorne the other day and there isn’t much left there; although Damian and Kristy Dionne live on a farm on the outskirts of the city!

Hi Gary, Johnathan is Ricky and Denice Casavants son, Ricky is Lucien Casavants son…Johnathan married Amy M. from Rolette. I didn’t know how to spell her last name. It’s like pronounced Muzloff. Aggie
Aggie, Thank you som much for this reply. Is Lucien Casavent your uncle?
Neola, Thank you so much for this very touching video. Gary
Gary,
I think this is the URL where you can watch the “Bushels for the Boys” video; the little Casavant boy is included.
