Lorraine Richard Nelson (46):
When I got up this morning I had a message on my Magic Jack phone from Lorraine Richard Nelson, so I returned her call. We had a nice chat. She said she was born and raised on a farm 1/4 mile east and 1/4 mile north of Rendahl Church among all those wonderful Norwegians. The Rude’s were their close neighbor to the west. She said she used to frequently ride her bike over to the Rude’s. She remembers Art so well. She said she very much enjoyed seeing his pictures on the Blog. She said she remembers Orvin Hagen really well too and really enjoyed seeing his pictures posted too, along with his brothers Leland and Tom.

PS – Lorraine told me today that they have 18 rental houses in Minot. As of today, 14 of them are under water with the floods. She said they will survive though. She is concerned for all those folks loosing their homes with mortgages and no flood insurance.

Hi, hope this finds the both of you well. Have not had E-mail since 2 June so am trying to catch-up. I’m sure there was more folks on the blog that had quest. Hopefully they were all more knowledgeable than I on the computer. Plus we just got back from Seattle. New address: Thanks for all you do. Cecile

Hello all….Gary is out on his truck driving run to Kingman, Az. from Springfield, Mo. but he left this note for me to put in for him. Sue
Hey Gary you are looking at your old friend, Lloyd Larschus in the square dance picture, Maxine and Willy too. We had a great big dance club called The Turtle Mountain Twirlers. Everyone from Arlys Tagestad to Walter Gagnon. I don’t know how many in this readership (is that a word?) knew Walter but he was one you don’t forget. Everytime we would do an alaman left, Walter would go the wrong way to get attention and the only time he would come back into the circle was when he saw the prettiest girl! We had a great teacher and caller, Don Dahlen from Muus Lumber in Minot.
Dennis I guess you were about the only Dubois I did not know. But what you said about your dad brought back memories of Walter Dubois at our farm putting up hay. He called me “Partner” and told me stories of my dad from an earlier time. I put him in a class with Emil Morin and others that knew how to treat kids. Gary Metcalfe
