Arla (Wallice) Hill Hiatt is in the Rugby Hospital with broken bones
Posting from Jackie Hiatt Fix(79): Springfield, VA
Hey Gary, I’ve been putting this off, not too sure Mom would want it out out there for everyone but how long could she be mad at me ?
Mom fell outside on 6/26 (Dad’s birthday) went to get up and her right ankle hurt so bad she fell again, this time she hurt her left hip; she broke her left hip and fractured her right ankle. That day you were unable to get to Minot so she was sent to Grand Forks. She has been in acute care in Rugby since 7/1, last Friday she had to go to GF for a follow up they found the plate has moved so she will need surgery again (trying to get her into Minot as GF can’t get her in for a few weeks, we don’t want to wait she wants to get home). I guess that’s why I am braking down and sharing, she is going to be there much longer than we expected so if your in Rugby stop on up and say Hi to Mom, I am sure she wouldn’t mind.
Jackie, We are so sorry to hear of your mothers condition. She has to be in a lot of pain while she is waiting. Dr. Uthus, Minot Orthopedic Surgeon, has performed many hip and knee replacements for lots of Bottineau/Dunseith folks over the years. He is among the best. He replaced my mothers hip too. He was a class mate and room mate of my mothers Nephew who is also an Orthopedic surgeon now specializing in spinal surgery in Omaha.Folks if you are in the Rugby area, please stop by the Rugby hospital to see Arla and lift her spirits. Thanks Jackie for letting us know about your mother. Please keep up posted. Gary

Gary here is a picture Art Hagen brought in. He knows all but two, but

At the moment I can place all but one in this picture. I am going to let you guys reply first though before I give my listing of whom I think everyone is. Many of you in this photo are on this Distribution too. I may be out to lunch with my thinking of the one I can not place in this picture, but I am thinking it may be one of the Longer boys, Tom or Clifford? They were Margie Hiatt’s nephews from Kenmare that lived some of the time with Margie and attended school with us at Ackworth.This picture brings back a whole lot of memories. I’d say this picture was taken at the very first 4-H meeting at Clarence and Mary Ann Hagen’s after our club was organized. I am pretty sure this picture was taken in the winter of 61/62. With one of the folks I know being in this picture, I know for a fact that it was taken later than May 1961.Mary Ann Hagen, Dorothy Lamb and my Mother, Elaine Stokes were the organizers of this club. I remember well when this club was organized. I remember the discussion with a meeting at Hagen’s, with the county agent present, about asking Orvin Hagen to be the leader for the boys. Orvin accepted the job and held the position I think for close to 30 years. I am not sure when the club was dissolved, but I think it was in the late 90’s? This club grew to be one of the largest 4-H clubs ever. I am hoping someone can give us the numbers.Thank you Mary Ann, Art and Karen.Gary
Joke of the day

Check your shampoo bottle label.
I don’t know WHY I didnt figure this out sooner!!!!
It’s the shampoo I use in the shower!
When I wash my hair, the shampoo runs down my whole body
and (duh!) printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning…
FOR EXTRA VOLUME AND BODY!
NO wonder I have been gaining weight!!!
Well! I have gotten rid of that shampoo and I am going to start
using Dawn dish soap instead. Their label reads,
DISSOLVES FAT THAT IS OTHERWISE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE.
Problem Solved!!!
If I don’t answer the phone …I’ll be in the shower!!!
