Grand opening – Sher’s Cafe

Reply from Neola Kofoid Garbe: Minot & Bottineau, ND
 

Gary,

 

Talk about becoming immediate friends; that’s how quickly Sherrie/her mother/I became friends. It was wonderful–again, this happened because of your newsletter. :) Thanks again for all you do.

 

It was a fantastic afternoon. I was so “hyped-up” I wasn’t hungry. I did have half a bun with pulled pork on it, as my mouth has been watering for that ever since I read about it in the newspaper clipping about the restaurant reopening–DELICIOUS!! Highway 43 sounds better and better all the time! I like their song selections today. There was also an excellent harmonica player (lady) who performed with them. It was a fabulous afternoon!

Neola: I am glad to hear that all went well with Sherrie’s grand opening. With Highway 43 playing and with Neola attending I know it went well. Whether you realize it or not Neola, you have become pretty well known among the Dunseith folks/alumni. With all that you provide, you have developed quite a following. gary

Gary. thank you for all the wonderful information about my beautiful Aunt Leah. and thanks to Carmon Richard. Leah is the sister of my father Joe Richard, and I have many great memories of she and her husband Jerry Bergeron. When we were kids it was so much fun visiting them on the farm, and we never missed visiting her when she lived in Bottineau. What a treat for me to hear about her again., thanks again to all of you.. Lorraine Richard Nelson..Payson Arizona.

Bill’s email Subject line: This is true for everyone EXCEPT Gary Stokes!
Bill: Thank you so much for this nice compliment. I know you meant for this to be posted so I am posting. In reality my memory is not that great. I use a lot of cheat sheets among other things for memory recall. I can not hold a candle to guys like Dick Johnson and Bill Grimme.
