Reply from LeaRae Parrill Espe (67): Bottineau, ND
From up in our neck of the woods we really appreciate and cherish Janet Haagenson Sedlacek’s pictures of Rendahl Church during different seasons of the year. I believe the one I purchased is in the wooden rack on this picture .

In reply to Margaret Metcalfe Leonard about frank Bass, I do remember him. He sold some cream when I worked for the Bottineau Coop creamery in Dunseith. I might be wrong but I think he was from St. John area and I thought he went to Minot, ND when he left, but don’t know what happened to him after that.

Frank Bass
Reply from Vickie Metcalfe (70): Bottineau, ND
Gary, Margaret and friends,
The Bass family indeed lived east of our farm. I believe on the “Byre place”, east of Sucker Lake. Frank’s first wife, Ginger, was the niece of Glen Weaver.
My parents exchanged Christmas Cards with Frank for years after they moved to Montana.
Frank was also known as Montana’s flying auctioneer.
The family business continued to thrive with his sons also auctioning, and an auction house in Lewistown, Montana.
When I lived in Montana I’d stop by whenever I was in Lewistown and visit the auction house.
Dad and Art would ask if I ever saw Frank.
I always wanted to go to one of the Bass auctions but I never was never fortunate.
Montana is a big state to travel to ranch auctions!
Art Seim showed me where they lived, again, on one of our drives through the hills the summer one of his last summers, when he came to the Dunseith home.
It was a dry summer and we managed to drive east by Sucker Lake!
I wonder too if it may have been where the Hank Smith family lived prior,
close to the Jack Peterson place?
Perhaps Henry, Wayne or Ron Smith would remember?
After, my mother passed our family has not corresponded.
I remember, the neighbor families visiting what fun we had,
and then Frank and GInger with 4 children moved away.
AH_____ but, one sunny evening in the 60’s…….. a big bird circled our farm.
Skip ( the ring necked border collie) hated those flying chicken hawks. And was quite agitated .
But whoa! It’s humming! This was not a bird….. Dad said, It’s a Plane! It’s Frank!.
Frank’s plane landed in our cow pasture which bordered the Seim cow pasture.
We all went to greet him as he climbed out.
He ate supper with us.
Art Seim came and they all visited and visited.
After tethering his plane down Frank stayed the night.
It was before our family had running water and lived in a small 1 bedroom house.
Frank wasn’t a fussy guest. For being so remarkable…. he was very common, and interesting.
It was a quite exciting event so see Frank’s plane circle and land up close.
Frank was a good visitor and story teller.
After that our dog Skip would get excited about flying objects!
Thank you Margaret for reviving that wonderful memory.

Joke of the day

ARE YOU KATHLICK
Three little boys were concerned because they couldn’t get anyone to play with them.
they decided it was because they had not been Baptized
and didn’t go to sunday School.
So they went to the nearest church
But only the janitor was there.
One little boy said, ” We need to be baptized
because no one will come out and play with us.
Will you baptize us?”
“Sure” said the janitor.
He took them into the bathroom and dunked their heads in the toilet bowl,one at a time
then he said “You are now Bapized”.
When they got outside,
one of them asked,
“What religion do you think we are?”
The oldest one said,
“We’re not Kathlick, because they pour water on you”.
“We’re not Babtis, because they dunk all of you in the water “.
We”re not Methdiss,because they just sprinkle water on you”.
The littlest one said,
“Didn’t you smell that water”
They all joined in asking,
“Yeah! What do you think that means?”
The littlest one said
” I think it means we’re Pisscopailians
