2012 Dunseith Caribbean Cruise:
 
Folks, We are reposting our cruise info with an updated list of those currently signed up. The longer you hold off the less selections you have for your desired cabin. If you hold off too long it’s very possible the price/category of your selection will be taken. We have a 100 cabins reserved, but not specific. We are competing with the whole world for cabin selections. When they are filled, you get the left overs to select from.
 
We will be selecting a suggested hotel in Miami for our groups lodging and transportation to the ship.
 
We are looking forward to seeing many of you folks on this cruise. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to fill up our hundred reserved cabins and have to ask for more. Dunseith will make their presents known in Miami.
 
Your group leaders,
 
Bill Grimme – Birmingham, AL
Phyllis McKay – Auburn, WA.
Gary & Bernadette Stokes – Cebu, Philippines

Reymong Greig – Born in Bottineau
Newspaper Article posted by Mary Eruich Knutson (62): Dunseith, ND
 
Hi Gary
I had Karen send an article on Raymong Greig the was from the March
15, 1988 issue of the Bottineau Courant.
Erling Landsverk had mentioned the Greig family sometime back and at
that time I could not find the clipping.
I just thought this may be interesting to everybody. Enjoy.

French Canadian Story

 

From Dick Johnson (68): Dunseith, ND

Gary and Friends,

Bill Hosmer sent me a story about a pilot who was captured in North
Vietnam and spent years as a POW. In the story there is mention of a
pilot who flew across Canada to Montreal in a P 51 fighter plane for
Expo 67. That was the name of the Worlds Fair in 1967. My folks and I
and Ron and Shirley Warcup, Mom’s sister, and their kids all traveled to
Montreal and down the east coast of the US for a once in a lifetime
trip. We saw all the sights and places of interest from Maine to
Virginia. One thing that I remember was when we were in rural Quebec
near Quebec City, we started to see people who had parked their cars and
were sitting on the hoods along the road. There got to be more and more
people and it became obvious that something big was happening. We
stopped and asked a small older Frenchman what was going on. He was very
excited and said proudly, “Charles de Gaulle, he comes!” Dad said we
better wait and see this. It wasn’t long and we could hear the people
way far ahead of us start to cheer and yell and It got louder and closer
until a red ’63 Chevy convertible came by with old de Gaulle sitting on
the top of the back seat, waving to the crowd. He looked the same as he
did in the WW II films with his khaki colored suit and cap and of course
his larger than average nose. Those Frenchmen went wild as he came by!
They were screaming and crying and running along behind the car. I had
never seen anyone so excited over seeing a foreign dignitary. Those
French Canadians were by far more loyal to France than to Canada–at
least that’s how it appeared to me. Most of the buildings were flying
the French flag too. As I mentioned to Bill Hosmer, I suppose it was no
big deal but I don’t know how many other 17 year old kids from Dunseith
saw old Charles de Gaulle in real life. I should have been more excited
but I was really amazed by the degree of near mania displayed by the
French Canadians on seeing this elderly French leader. Later, Ouebec
attempted to secede from Canada but didn’t manage to get the popular
vote needed. After seeing the way many of them were nearly overcome with
joy on seeing de Gaulle, I can believe they would try. Thanks Gary!

Dick

 
 
Wise Words from Will Rogers
Posted By Larry Hackman (66): Bismarck, ND


Will Rogers, who died in a 1935plane crash with his best friend, Wylie Post,was probably the greatest political sage this country ever has known.

 


1.Never slap a man who’s chewing tobacco.


2.Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.

 


3..There are two theories to arguing with a woman . . . Neither works.

 


4.Never miss a good chance to shut up.

 


5.Always drink upstream from the herd.

 


6.If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

 

7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket.

 

8.There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.

 


9.Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

 


10.If you’re riding’ ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it’s still there.

 


11.Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier’n puttin’ it back.

 


12.After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you’re full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

 


ABOUT GROWING OLDER…

 


First ~Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

 


Second ~The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.

 


Third ~Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me; I want people to know ‘why’ I look this way. I’ve traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren’t paved.

 


Fourth ~When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.

 


Fifth ~You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.

 


Sixth ~I don’t know how I got over the hill without getting to the top

 


Seventh ~One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.

 


Eighth ~One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.

 

Ninth ~Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

 


Tenth ~Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it’s called golf.

 


And, finally ~If you don’t learn to laugh at trouble, you won’t have anything to laugh at when you are old.
