No Blog Yesterday:
Folks, I did not have much to post yesterday so I decided to forgo yesterday’s posting.
I have requested an update from Gina for those signed up for our cruise. I will be posting that info when she gets back to me.

Proud to be from North Dakota
Message from Don Aird (Carroll Carlson’s Nephew): St Louis, MO
I’ve always been proud to have been born, raised and educated in North Dakota. In 1974 I had to leave ND to find work. I got a job in Dallas, TX. Texans were not fond of Yankees. I had to explain to them at the time of the Civil War ND was still part of the Louisiana Purchase. We were still Southerners!

I live in Green Bay, Wisconsin now. I retired from regular teaching a few years ago. In Green Bay I do some ESL teaching, work at a museum on weekends, teach swimming at the YMCA, and am doing a little freelance work with the Oneida Tribe of Wisconsin. I remember my time in Dunseith fondly. I married an Englishman I met while teaching in Scotland 14 years ago.
Joy, you have us really curious now. Did you ever attend Dunseith and if you did what school year would you have been? Gary

Memories from Allen Richard (65): Midland, MI
Don’t get me started on Dick Bercier stories — Well today I don’t have time — Lets just say that the 390 Fords he loved as patrol cars we light lunches for 383 Plymouths– more later———

Little Prairie Lutheran Church
Message/Picture posted by Dick Johnson (68): Dunseith, ND
Gary and Friends,
Here is a picture of the congregation of Little Prairie Lutheran Church,
probably taken after a church service many years ago. There are a few
names on the back but it is a partial listing as there are more in the
picture than names listed. There are several of the folks that many
people will know so I will point them out individually. The man on the
extreme left is John Seim. Next is Martin Foss, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Halstad,
the man in front is Earl Myer, lady with the black hat is Christine
Carlson (Carroll’s mom), the tall lady next with the white hat is Ingrid
Seim, the short gal beside her is Bertha Myer, it lists Pete Carlson on
the right but I don’t know if he was that tall. Don Aird can maybe tell
us if that is him. As I said, some are unknown to the person who
identified the people. My best guess would be late 30s or early 40s and
with the ladies in hats, maybe Easter Sunday. Thanks Gary!

Joke of the day:

Proof that you can’t ever underestimate the creativeness of boys for mischief.
With
considering all the brilliant, devious minds we had in high school, I don’t know how we missed doing this.
At a high school in Montana, a group of students played a prank
–they let three goats loose inside the school.
But before turning them loose, they painted numbers on the sides of the goats: 1, 2, and 4.
School Administrators spent most of the day looking for No. 3
