Hi Gary – Finally left Los Angeles/Altadena yesterday. Heading up the coast to Pasa Robles to film a video for my sponsor, EponaShoes on the 15th of July. Then it’s off to the Eastern Sierra, Yosemite, Bishop, Lone Pine, and the White Mountains, Alabama Hills. The photo is from the 4th of July Parade. I painted my white Spanish Arabian to look like a Zebra. He was a big hit, and it looked so real, a lot of people actually thought I was riding a real Zebra. You CAN fool some of the people, some of the time! Happy Trails! Trish Wild, 73
Trish, how clever. I thought it was a real Zebra until I read your note. Gary

Gary,

 

Glad to hear you and Bernadette had a great time at the Radisson. I second Geri Metcalfe Monro’s comment regarding the great job with the blog.

The only comment I want to make on the 1957 basketball team is that the coach is Ray Stark. I know he was a coach in 1955. I left Dunseith in 1956-1957.

Gary and Friends,

To help clarify the picture I sent of the 1957 basketball team,
the youngest boys would have been 5th graders and the oldest would have
been 8th graders if my figuring is right. This team would have been the
grade school team. The years these guys graduated was from 1961 to
1964. I looked up the picture of the 55-56 A team and will attach it to
this posting. Many of these guys were probably on the team in 56-57
also. Some were seniors in 56 but several were on later teams. Thanks Gary!

Dick

Gary, in regards to the March 1957 basketball photo. That is the grade school basketball team. The kids in the back row were all 8th graders and all the kids in the front row were in the 6th grade. There are three that I’m not quite sure of, although, the kid on the left front could very well be Dan Machipiness. I played with all these guys in high school. We were really good, but in our senior year, we lost Dave Shelver to injury and DAN Machipiness moved to Minnesota, where he was named all-conference. Many of the town people have asked me many times: WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN. I just love these old photos, thank you all for your contributions. Have a good day
