Barbara Kalk Lopez (65) is in Hospice care with Cancer
Message from Al Lopez: Inver Grove Heights, MN
 

To all from Dunseith,

Kathy (Barbara Kalk, ’65), is now in hospice care for her lung cancer. She has little time left here before joining her Father and Mother, Dan and Rose in Heaven. Please pray for her and the families.

Al Lopez

Al: What shocking news. We thought she was out of the woods and in remission with her cancer. In High School Barbara always had dreams of going to Hollywood of which I think she did and in the process met you.You made her life dreams come true from another angle in life so to speak. Barbara was never one to be under estimated. She has strong faith to guide her along in these trying times. Our thoughts and prayers are with her. Please let her know that we care and have not forgotten her. She is a wonderful person. Gary

Hello Gary,
Yes, I’m from Bottineau. I’ve been in the Minneapolis area for the last 41+ years. Let me just congratulate you for the wonderful job you do with the blog. It’s all pretty amazing.
Thanks for everything, Vern Sanden

Hi to Bill Grimme, when are you going to come up to visit us in Minnesota?

Vern: Do you still have relatives in the Bottineau area. You would have been in the same class as Doreen Larson, Harvey Hiatt, Dwight Olson, Dennis Haakenson and many others that I know. You guys just had a big reunion too. Gary

The Reno disaster. To Bill Hosmer (48).
This was bad–human beings push the limits. Sometimes the limits are difficult to value. Why did we go to the moon? Why do we try to break the sound barrier on the salt flats?
We just do. Bill, you broke more barriers than any Dunseith grad. I don’t know why you chose to do what you did, but I salute you. The skill you used as a member of the Thunderbirds was truly amazing.
 
The Reno crash was horrific. But it was about pushing limits. Risks come with that. I pray for those who suffered.
