Folks, yesterday’s blog number should have been 1212, not 1211. I posted it as 1212 our website, so I am continuing with 1213 today. Gary

Gary, a great story about your dad. Is it just me or were all of our parents so special. Not much material things but what a wonderful time growing up. I remember having a tumble weed for a tree one xmas, a few years ago my girlfriend decorated a tumble weed for me, about 60 years after the first one. It was so special! Thanks, Gary, for passing on these stories. As I get older I enjoy them even more. have a good day.
 
 
 
Minot/Bottineau Rains – floods
Posting from Vickie Metcalfe (70): Bottineau, ND
 
Gary,
My rain gauge shows my yard got another 2 inches since last night,
it’s spotty conditons all over the area…

Minot is in a sorry state. all the bridges are closed in Minot.

It is becoming quite an effort to even get to Minot from Bottineau.

The Canadians are battling water also.
Today residents of Bottineau have been told to runs sump pumps outside.
Many Bottineau homes have water in their basements.
The ground is saturated and no where else to go.

I have a very muddy crawl space. But thankful I am not bailing water
yet. And also thankful, I am not within fire danger like folks in
AZ. Vic

Minot is in big trouble as the amount of water coming from Canada is catastrophic. There will be mandatory evacuation later on today.

 

 
Round Barn Square Dance group

Gary,
Back to the square dance picture, when I said that the man to the left of who I still think is Florence Conroy, I meant the man to her right looks to me like it is Mr. Ed Conroy. The mystery continues.
Jean
Jean, Ed Conroy passed away in 1972. Could this be their son Don?
Folks, We’d like some more input on this. The more I look at this picture, the more I think that the one guy is Willie Hiatt – The hair, the nose, the glasses, the body profile all resemble Willie in my mind. Gary

Kim’s parents are Duane and Lorraine Peterson. When Neola sent this to me asking who Kim’s parents are, even though I do not Kim, I instantly knew she was Duane and Lorraine’s daughter, because she so very much resembles her mother. Gary
