1944 Basket Ball Picture – Oscar Hagen – Happy Birthday to Dick Johnson (68)
Message from Toni Morinville Gredesky (68): Farimount, ND
 

Thanks, Paulette for the birthday wishes, but I should have emailed earlier to

point out that Gary’s birthday is also the 21st. So happy belated birthdays to Dick and

Gary.

 

I am so glad that Floyd wrote in about the picture. I kept looking at it, saying to myself

that it looked like Oscar Hagen to me. Oscar is married to my first cousin Emmeline, Myrtle’s (my

mom’s sister) daughter.

Oscar Hagen is one of the nicest people you could ever meet. He is an engineer and he and Emmy

have lived in LaCrosse for years. I have always enjoyed telling the joke “You should meet my

relatives Oscar and Emmy — they’re an award winning couple.” And they truly are.

I am so happy for the clarification.

 

Thanks, Gary for all that you do.

P.S. Also, it would be great if Chery Dakin or maybe you, Gary could repost the pictures of the Larson clan.

I inadvertently deleted them before moving them to my pic folder.

Thank you Toni. I’ve got a few years on you though and Dick will always be on day senior to you. Gary

In reply to Dicks question on Chickimish. His name was Alex Duchene (?) and his sister was maybe Mary, but was called something in French that sounded like LaGraGange. Rose lake was south and west of Chikimish Lake, thats what we called it. Thanks to my brother for this info. I’ll bet Chickimish never got this much attention in his whole life. See what you started, Gary. A good day to all.

 
 
Chickimish – Response to Dick Johnson (68)
From Vickie Metcalfe (70): Bottineau, ND
 
No, as I think his name might have been Alec?…… he was not Red,
although Red might have been his son.

Weren’t Red Duchaine and Victoria Gray siblings?
Chickamish’ cabin was on lower ground below that hill in amongst a
poplar tree grove which looked like 1 room.
The new built #3 highway__ I think__ ran over where it was.
He was old.. old in the 50’s,when I first saw him, I think prior to
’58.
I never saw him after the new road was built in 62/63.
Raphael Poitra, Richard Morin or one of John and Helen Gunville’s
kids could probably tell you more.
They were all neighbors. v.

Gary — A wild guess about the nuns in the picture. I’m thinking they are Sister Rose on the left ans Sister Augusta on the right. I know they both were in Dunseith at that time.

Larry’s photo: Sister Mary Agnes and Sister Augustine. Seeing such a young Sister Augustine took me by surprise; at one time, late 40’s, I would help her stamp countless envelopes.
