Condolences to the Betty Eurich Nerpel family
From LeaRae Espe Parrill (67): Bottineau, ND
 

We received word today that Betty Eurich Nerpel passed away yesterday(Friday). Our sympathy to her family and friends. We do not know any details of funeral arrangements yet.

 

Over the last few years she has lived in Bottineau and she has played many, many games of whist with my mother and her sisters, Marie Parrill and Eugenie Walker and Arla Hall. They will miss her so much.

 

LeaRae and Terry Espe

LeaRae, your message came in about one minute after I sent yesterday’s message.
 
I too express great sympathy to Betty’s family. She has been a pillar to the community for many years. She will be missed.

Message from Dick Johnson (’68): Dunseith, ND
 
Gary and Friends,

We have had a few quite cold days here in the old Turtle
Mountains. It’s been rather miserable to work outside but it is ND and
we all know what’s coming. Today we had a strong south wind and it made
me think of a comment I heard long ago from someone. It’s another old
time philosophy I thought folks might get as kick out of. He said,
“Man, that south wind is cold— no matter which direction it comes
from.” Most places are protected from the prevailing north winds but are
exposed when it blows from the south and today it was raw. Thanks Gary!

Dick

 
 
 
 
Joke of the day
Posted by Larry Hackman (’66): Bismarck, ND
 

A game warden was driving down the road when he came upon a young boy carrying a wild turkey under his arm.

He stopped and asked the boy, ‘Where did you get that turkey?’

The boy replied, ‘What turkey?’

The game warden said, ‘That turkey you’re carrying under your arm.’

The boy looks down and said, ‘Well, lookee here, a turkey done roosted under my arm!’

The game warden said, ‘Now look, you know turkey season is closed, so whatever you do to that turkey, I’m going to do to you.

If you break his leg, I’m gonna break your leg If you break his wing, I’ll break your arm. Whatever you do to him, I’ll do to you. So, what are you gonna do with him?’

The little boy said, ‘I guess I’ll just kiss his behind and let him go!’

May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have never a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
