Lise Rousseau Metcalfe (64) fell and shattered her shoulder
Message from Vickie Metcalfe (70): Bottineau, ND
 

Gary and friends,


This weekend, I received an e-mail from my cousin’s Lise’ and Larry Metcalfe.

Lise’ fell about a week ago.


It was one “durty fall” which really concerns Larry.


Lise’ smashed the head of the bone that connects to the left shoulder. had a plate and screws 48 hrs after the fall.

 

I’m also imagining her “crazy bone” pain. Ow!

 

But, dear Lise’ Rousseau Metcalfe, another determined, tough and hardy product of Dunseith is now typing with one finger!


Friends, Please join me sending Lise’ healing wishes.

Thanks, Vickie M.

Gary,

On Friday 11/19/10, my wife Rosemary & I were very pleased and privileged to be invited to the early Thanksgiving dinner at the Dunseith Senior Center. We were treated to a wonderful ND traditional Thanksgiving dinner served by Nancy Hanlan, center manager, and then to an excellent array of desserts provided by many of the ladies in attendance. (You know what I am talking about.)

After the meal we were treated to several hours of good old-time music provided by many of the local musicians that you will recognize in the pictures: Rosemary on the keyboard, Carl & Shirley, Dick & Brenda, Rita Langer, and others — all of whom (along with many others) play in our shop at the annual shop parties we have in the fall of the year.

I am sending several pictures that you may use as you wish, some or all. Your many readers may have fun identifying the folks and remembering the good friends and good times of the past. It really is good to go home! Thanks for all you do!

PS. I will be sending the pictures in “groups” as I have quite a few. They will follow as I “downsize them. AND I have the names of all the people in the photos if the bloggers “get stuck.”

Wayne & Rosemary, These are wonderful! I have posted 9 of the 18 pictures that you sent with today’s message. I’ll post the remaining 9 pictures tomorrow.
 
Folks, please reply with the identities of these folks. I have taken a stab at who I know. I probably know the rest but just don’t recognize them. I am eager to learn to know who all of these folks are. Carl and Shirley Melgaard look great! It’s been a few years since I have seen them. I can sure see the resemblance of Shirley’s niece, Linda Knutson (Norris/Arlene’s daughter) in this picture too. Linda works at Thompson’s Drug in Bottineau. Gary
