May 2010 Dunseith Alumni Reunion

 

 

Folks, Of the 27 Class of 65 graduating Seniors, until last month, Cliff Henry was the only departing member of our class. Last month we lost both Ernie and Donald Egbert. So sad. I always had the impression that Ernie kept a good handle on Donald as is evident in this photo. Ernie was my communication link to Donald. I so admired Ernie’s respect for Donald. When Donald expressed an interest in attending the Dunseith Alumni Reunion last May, Ernie made it happen, paying for Donald’s registration and dinner. So generous. Gary

Gary and Friends,

Here is another old picture of some well known Dunseith kids from
long ago. My guess is that it is the Sunderland sisters. The older one
I’m quite sure is Shirley Sunderland Fazio(46)– the youngest one is
Donna Sunderland Leonard (52)–and the girl on the left is Pat
Sunderland Warburton (49). I could be wrong but I think it’s them. It
probably was taken about 1940. Again, that’s a guess. Thanks Gary!

Dick

 

 

 

 

 

Joke of the day

Posted by Cecile Gouin Craig (61): Windsor, CO

A man owned a small farm inND. The Internal Revenue determined he was not paying proper wages to his staff and sent an investigator out to interview him.

“I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them!,” demanded the investigator.

“Well,” replied the farmer, “there’s my farm hand who’s been with me for three years. I pay him $200 a week plus free room and board.

“The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $150 per week plus free room and board.”

“Then there’s the halfwit. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about $10 a week. He pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of whiskey every Saturday night. He also sleeps with my wife occasionally.”

“That’s the guy I want to talk to…the halfwit!” said the agent.

“That would be me,” replied the farmer.
