Florence, I replied with an individual message to you, but I want to post this so folks know you are still out there. Gary
GARY, you have disapeared from my internet. Are you o.k.? The wind seldom blows here in Anchorage, thus with all the snow we have this last two months we have a winter wonder land. I live in a condo, so I have pity for the poor souls that have to shovel snow and shovel and shovel….Thank you again for your peraverance on this internet. Happy New Year and God bless you. I’ll bet you don,t miss shoveling snow…………………

Request from Bill Hosmer (48):
Gary and Dick Johnson, and several others. When you old timers were talking about the different homes around the hills, it occurred to me that someone with some abilities beyond my own, that it might be possible to develop a map of the area which included all the families we hear from and about. It could be a graphic display with a little bit of surveyor assistance and possibly result in a two by three foot chart, which might be reproduceable and even a sale item for the Dunseith Log House and the Rolette County Museum. I can see a framable image of the map, with sketches, and or photos of the homes of a given year, or a given decade. For example, “The Way It Was in the Hills in 1930 to 1950, or less and more, and I think it could include pictures of those who were early settlers and the location of their sites. This would be on a detailed map of roads, highways, and trails that we have enjoyed reading about recently. It would also accurately plot
the location of the homes of these tremendous family groups that gave us our collective heritage. As I think about it more, it could include all of Rolette County, and the part of Bottineau County that include former Dunseith people. It might take awhile, but I think there would be a mob of us scrambling to see just who and where we are from, and where it was in “The Hills”. Bill Hosmer ps. It should also show the graphic shape and locations of the major lakes, as well as the churches and cemeteries. Ok Guys, go for it.
Bill, this sounds like a great Idea. I’m hoping someone will be able to put this together. Gary

Gary and Friends,
Thanks to Martha Lamb Schepp for the story. It brought back good Thanks Bill Grimme for the pictures of NYC. Gary mentioned the movement Thanks Gary for your tireless posting! Dick Reply from Bill Grimme (65):
Gary,
The “Go to North Dakota” song is credited to Lois Steele and Jack Fulton in 1958. I have had a lot of fun with this song over the years. In fact. I think we sang it at our reunion last year. Here is the complete song, although I think Diane had all the lyrics the other day:
Go Ta North DakotaYou Oughta Go Ta North Dakota “Ya oughta go ta, North Dakota “The sky is bluer than blue
You were pretty accurate on Irina. She has a Phd in Chemistry and she is the head of the biophysics lab at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She just earned her citizenship this year and she has been in the U.S. since 2000. Good girl. You were also correct in stating that our class and many other people on your mailing list helped me through a tough time. I will be forever grateful. Bill
Class of 58 Pictures posted by Ellen Graff Myrick (58): Gary,
Thought I’d share these pictures of the class of 58 from the 125th Reunion The word document has all the people, but one, identified. It took three pictures to show the 9 members of our class of 18 who attended the reunion in July 2007. You may not want to use the individual pictures. It’s up to you as the expert.

Message/Picture from Evie Gottbreht Pilkington (65): Hi Gary, Happy New Year from Southern CA – we are experiencing a cold snap….must be 50 degrees…..LOL Today January 2 would have been my Dad’s 92nd Birthday…he died in 1961. My Mom and Dad were also married on this day in 1939. I found this picture in my “stuff” today and decided a few might enjoy this bit of history. It is a four generation picture – George Gottbreht, William Gottbreht, Dale Gottbreht and my brother George on Great Grandfather William’s lap. I found it interesting to once again see how tall my grandfather George was compared to my Dad, he was a shorty 5’6” I think…..Daddy’s mom, Evelyn was less than 4’10”. Evie Pilkington 949-246-6984
Peggy Peltier’s (84) picture posted by Neola Kofoid Garbe:
Here’s a good picture of Peggy Peltier. I don’t think I’ve sent it before as I don’t see it in my “courthouse” file.
May I send Peggy’s pictures to your address, Gailord, or do you have an address for Peggy? I’ve already sealed/taped your envelope, Gailord, but I would be happy to mail Peggy’s pictures to your address/address you provide. My husband will mail your envelope after I return to Minot.
Thanks.
Neola
