Call from Leland Hagen: Bryan, Tex
Folks, I got a call this morning from Leland Hagen. He was checking out the phone numbers that I posted last week. It was just like he was next door, even though we were about 9,000 miles apart. We had a nice long chat. Thanks for the call Leland. It was great hearing from you. Gary

Dunseith area visit
Message from Maria Parlade Corral (62): Coral Gables, FL
Dear Gary: We finally went on our trip. It started in Omaha with my college class reunion and there we rented a car and drove to the Badlands National Park in South Dakota , on to Custer Stat Park and to Theodore Roosevelt National Park . The parks were amazingly beautiful.
From there we started our pilgrimage to Dunseith. Driving to Dunseith we were able to appreciaty the greatness of this country. Huge distances well kept , good highways and clean bathrooms. Everyone we spoke to was extremelly nice. We had lunch at a small town called Anamoose at a small cafe and everyone was so friendly and the home cooked food was great. We arrived to Dunseith early in the afternoon. We drove around and noticed that the school is new and there is an elementary school now which I don,t think was there then (1961-1964) I think that a lot of the buildings that were in the main road like Hosmer General Store and Althea Theater were no longer there. The town does not seemed to have grown much since then. We stopped at Dale’s cafe because we could not find San Haven and the people there were very nice and gave us instruction to get there. We drove to San Haven and of course it is abandoned but the fence was down so we went around the abandoned buildings and took a lot of pictures. Our old house was burned but I recognized it because 2 walls are standing and of course the basement. It was a very interesting trip like going back in time. We also saw the Church where one of my sister did her First Comunion which was then St. Mary’s Mission . After that we drove to the Peace Garden which was prettier than what I remember. My father was really excited to see the pictures and hear everything about the trip. He is 96 years old but he is in great shape and his mind is perfect.
We also went to Richardton , No Dakota to see the Assumption Abbey since 2 of my brothers were going to school there for a year.
While in North Dakota we could appreciate some of the flooding. The same in Nebraska. But nothing like the flooding now. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Minot. A real disaster but nature in unstopable. Is is just the same with our hurricanes here. Well Gary I just thought I let you know how our trip went. We enjoyed it very much and so did my husband . He had never been to the Midwest and he loved the very different landscape and the friendliness of the people. Thanks for all your help. Maria Parlade Corral
