Thanks for the correction Lyle,
I was racking my brain trying to figure out who Kenny Hiatt was. As a kid I thought I knew all the Hiatt’s down to my generation.

Gary,

I figure that Larry and Henry Hackman must have made it back to Bismarck from their camping trip to Rugby. I say this because Larry is back on his computer. He told me that they found a really nice new camping spot there in Rugby for their campers. He said it was right there in front of the Shopko store. Nice and flat with lines painted for where you were supposed to park. He said they were a little stingy with the size of the spots though and there weren’t many trees. Just that one tall skinny one with a light bulb on top. He said the light was kind of handy though when you wanted to kick back in your lawn chair and have a beer after dark. Dicky Johnson should be getting home from his vacation on Sunday also. He’s been gone to that Norwegian thing down there in Minot all week. Da Hoste Fest or something like that they call it. I should be able to tell when he gets home, there’ll be that unmistakable odor of Lutefisk coming from the West. I hope you can understand this I have a heck of a time writing in Norwegian. Well y’all have a good day now y’ear. Later.

Mel

Posting From Allen Houle (’67):  Villages, FL.

From a skinny kid who attended an elementary boarding school called Notre Dame Academy, and attended middle and high school in Dunseith. Put myself thru college and had a great high school teaching/coaching career that lasted 36 years. I’m retired now and spending my winters in Florida at a place called the Villages. It’s a retirement community 50 miles north of Orlando. People here call it Paradise and it certainly is, but I like to think of it as Disneyland for grownups. It’s Disneyland every day. So many activities here that you can’t possible do them all. I’m playing a little softball, bowling and of course golfing. I feel very blessed. What a country!!!!!!

Memories From Dick Johnson (’68): Dunseith, ND Gary and Friends,While reading the Class of ’65 Prophecy, I remembered several little stories about some of the class. Some for print—others not. Once my dad decided his music students should see a real ballet to widen their scope of world events. One was coming to Bottineau so he had us sign up and then we were required to come well dressed and to behave accordingly for such an event. I don’t think ANY of us were real enthused about the idea but he was the teacher so we did what he said. We sat through the ballet and pretended, at least, to be interested. The part I remember the most was when we all were back on the bus and Dad got on, he asked us what we were most impressed about from the ballet? Bill Grimme, with his usual mature charisma, said, “Those guys really fill their tights.” We couldn’t hold it and the whole bus cracked up. Dad just shook his head and smiled and looked at the floor. HEY, he asked the question!Another memory of ’65 students. When I read about John Awalt’s ’55 Chevy, I remembered one time when he and Kenny Nerpel came up to the farm in that red and white ’55 Chevy hard top and asked if they could go hunting ducks up in one of our sloughs about a mile to the northwest. They headed up there but in about a half hour they were back—on foot. John had driven a little too close to a narrow washout and dropped the old Chevy in with both drivers side wheels and was hung up. We had to go up and pull them out. I don’t think they got any duck hunting in but sure got their exercise walking. Thanks Gary!

Well I, for one, have done something about it.   Last night I was out for dinner and a few drinks with some friends. Having had a few too many drinks and knowing full well I was struggling, I did something I’ve never done before – I took a bus home. I arrived home safely and without   incident, which was a real surprise, as I had never driven a bus before.
