Interesting findings for ND folks
Posted by Glen Williams (52): Missoula, MT
A recent study conducted by NDSU found that the average North Dakotan
walks about 900 miles a year.
Another study by the American Medical Association found that North
Dakotans drink on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.
This means, on average, North Dakotans get about 41 miles to the
gallon. Kind of makes you proud to be a North Dakotan!

Gary,
Got a call from Dale Pritchard the other day. We compared notes on where and the dates we were stationed oversseas. He and I crossed paths on occassion as he was stationed at Yokota AB, Japan the same time I was a teacher there and he did TDYs into Rhein Main AB at the same time I was working out of the District Office for the schools located there. We had a nice chat and I hope we can continue with a personal visit in the future. Your blog is doing amazing things.
