I sure enjoy when someone puts in a joke of the day. Not only do I start
my day out with a smile, I always pass them on. Thanks for taking the time to send some smiles around the world. Marlys
Bob Stokes with his Twin Sister Margaret.
I believe this picture was taken in about 1950 when Dad and Margaret (Twins) met for the first time in their lives. They would have been 35 years old. Their mother died shortly after they were born. Margaret went to live with their dad’s sister in Canada. Dad was too frail, having only weighed 1.5 pounds at birth, to make the trip to Canada. Dad was then adopted by the Stokes’.
Because of immigration concerns Margaret was not able to visit the states until about 1950. Dad always remained very close to his biological family, so He and Margaret knew of each other all of their lives.
Olga, Jean Pladson and Audrey Aitchenson’s Mother, also went with Margaret to live with their Aunt in Canada. Elvina was raised by the Jelleberg family who were neighbors. The remaining 8 siblings remained in the home with their father, Carl Petterson.

I cleaned teeth in the mornings and was a mechanic working on the unit vehicles in the afternoons. Being a farm boy raised in the Turtle Mountains, I had the experiences necessary to keep our unit vehicles running in Vietnam. Gary
 Joke of the Day
Posted by Dave Wurgler (64): Rugby, ND
Woods turns to Wonder and says:
“How is the singing career going?”
Stevie Wonder replies: “Not too bad! How’s the golf?”
Woods replies: “Not too bad, I’ve had some problems with my swing, but I think I’ve got that right now.”
Stevie Wonder says: “I always find that when my swing goes wrong, I need to stop playing for a while and not think about it. Then, the next time I play, it seems to be all right.”
Tiger Woods says: “You play golf?”
Stevie Wonder says: “Oh, yes, I’ve been playing for years.”
And Woods says: “But, you’re blind. How can you play golf if you’re blind?”
Wonder replies: “I get my caddie to stand in the middle of the fairway and call to me. I listen for the sound of his voice and play the ball towards him. Then, when I get to where the ball lands, the caddie moves to the green or farther down the fairway and again I play the ball towards his voice.”
“But, how do you putt?” asks Woods.
“Well,” says Stevie, “I get my caddie to lean down in front of the hole and call to me with his head on the ground and I just play the ball towards his voice.”
Woods asks: “What’s your handicap?”
Stevie says, “Well, I’m a scratch golfer.”
Woods, incredulous, says to Stevie: “We’ve got to play a round sometime.”
Wonder replies: “Well, people don’t take me seriously, so I only play for money, and never play for less than $10,000 a hole.”
Woods thinks about it and says, “OK, I’m game for that, when would you like to play?”
Stevie says, “Pick a night!”
