Ernie Gottbreht (65) passed away today.
Evie, Sharron, George and the whole Gottbreht family, I have been getting a lot of email traffic this morning letting me know of Ernie’s passing. I am jumping the gun a bit with this announcement without the official word from you folks, but with all the traffic about his death, I thought it best to post now letting you reply with an official message later.
Our condolences are with all of you with his passing. This has to be so hard for the whole family. You are such a close family too and that helps with the grieving. Ernie will be greatly missed by all. I will post several class pictures with tomorrows blog.

Dear Mr. Stokes,
I was informed about your blog by relatives in the Dunseith . My mother is from there, and may enjoy hearing about some of the folks she knew way back when. Is there a way you can connect me to your site?
Thank you so much,
Sandi

Mothers maiden name was Watkins, sisters Murl Hill, Carol Carbonneau, and married name is Robert(from west of Dunseith)also. We have a great record of the Roberts from 1565.
Thanks,
Sandi
I live in Jamestown, mother has been with my sister Annette and me since November. She was not doing well on her own so we have taken on an extra for now. She does like hearing about old times, and remembers many of the old folks from back when. It is fine that you use our identity, we have nothing to hide!(: Thank you so much for this.
Sandi
Sandi, It is my pleasure to add you and your mother to our daily distribution. Both the Watkins and Robert families are well known in the Dunseith area. I know many of our readers will remember your mother well. You have a lot of relatives on our distribution too. Gary
