April 8th, 2011; I googled by grandpa’s name (Ludrick Peterson) and found this information. I am the youngest daughter of Minnie Peterson (born Leslie Pine on 03/09/1951) and may be able to provide additional family information if you’re interested.
Leslie, It is so nice to hear from you. Looking at the Peterson history in the 1982 Dunseith centennial book, your mother was a sister to Max Peterson. There were 4 girls and one boy in your mothers family. The Dunseith book has you listed as living in California, but you have a Kirby, CT phone number, so I’m assuming that is where you are currently living? We have many of Max and Mary Awalt Peterson’s Relatives on the distribution of this blog. They had 10 children, all being first cousins to your mother, many of whom stayed in the Dunseith/Bottineau areas. The Peterson family was very well known in the Dunseith area, especially in the Kelvin Turtle Mountain area. Please provide us with whatever family information you have. Thanks, Gary
This is a picture from Lloyd and Theresa Awalt and they would like
for the readers to identify the people and see if they can remember the
place where it was taken. I do remember the tapestry on the wall and
where it was hanging. I think most of the folks will remember that and
also should be able to name the people. One hint—it was a supper
gathering for the staff of Security State Bank, probably in the early
’60s, my guess. Thanks Gary!

Gary,
I probably know many of the folks in the photo; however, I can only positively recognize my grandfather Simeon Grenier, who is the second gentleman in on the right wearing eyeglasses, just under the stag on the tapestry. Always love these older photos, especially when I recognize people or relatives in them, thanks Lloyd and Theresa for submitting this. Can’t wait to find out who all the other folks are.
Gary again thanks for all you do, Joe
