Gary and Keith,
The Kiss video was awesome and I’m not a big fan of theirs either! Keith, you and I graduated together. Everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Lighted Hood Ornaments – reply to Larry Hackman (66)
From Larry Hackman (66): Bismarck, ND
Dick and Gary
You could pay extra to get illumination for the Indian head hood ornament when ordering a 1953 Pontiac.
Twin spot lights weren’t standard fare.
I remember at least one cruising around Dunseith, but I don’t remember who the driver was?
For your information,
Larry
Lighted Hood Ornaments – reply to Larry Hackman (66)
From Dick Johnson (68): Dunseith, ND
Larry,
I knew that some of the cars had lighted hood ornaments but just never saw a factory pickup one. The Pontiac had one for a couple years. Kenny Murray had a copper colored Pontiac with this option–and even a rear window wiper! It had a straight 8 flathead engine. He wound it up leaving Myron Evans yard and held it down all the way to the high school, down the street past the park and the grade school. When we got to the grade school, I bet we were going 90—and I was getting REAL nervous! He didn’t think about the possibilities that could have happened. Kids with little experience and a fast car are deadly!
Larry, can you remember Gary Pigeon’s ’52 Ford Victoria hard top with the Packard tail lights? It was dark blue and had the chrome taken off–no door handles or hood ornament or trunk handle. I found it up at John Bursingers and he has painted it over for the second time. It was yellow and now it’s blue with a white top. Still has the Packard tail lights and no chrome.
This message is best not put on the blog. I don’t know if some of Kenny’s relatives get these emails or not. Don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings after 45 years!

I remember the Dunseith Sr. Center. I use to go there quite a bit, when I came to Dunseith from Minot, to see Ma and Pa Johnson. I use to go there, to visit Uncle Raymond.
Boy, the stories he use tell. Some, I didnt believe, but he sure was a fabulous story teller. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

In picture #12 — the woman in front on the right is Lorretta Richard. She and my father, Art, married in ’98. Dad passed away in early 2001. Lorretta lives at Holland Manor in Rugby and is celebrating her 80th birthday this week.

Hi Gary, in the pictures below, I know a few people: In number 11. left side, Marsha Olson Azure and across from her is her mom, Loreen Olson. In picture 14: Second from left is Clarence Azure (?), Marsha husband and next to him is Willard Olson. Also, to the right of Luella Dion, I think that is Joy Peterson, not sure.
OK, as you know it’s Thanksgiving week here, not in Cebu, but Happy US Thanksgiving anyway.

Hank Salmonson is playing his guitar in picture #3. He is 90 years old now, but has not lost his touch. The other guitar player is a friend of ours from the Minot area.
