Dunseith Businesses
Correcton from Lloyd Awalt (’44): Bottineau, ND
Gary,
Heard from Floyd Dion & Erling Landsverk & I have some names in the wrong places, Charlie Watkins Lumber Yard North of town, Charlie Wright’s Cream Station. Ray Wilson Judge , Ray Murry started the creamery in 1934? The building Erling was talking about second hand store, later became a Rec Hall and lunch counter by Gagner. Can’t remember his first name. Billy Wright had a store , I’m not sure but wasn’t that built after the Dunseith Journal burnt down. Later on a couple from Bottineau had it, could be wrong. Later years Joe Morinville had it.
Lloyd
Lloyd, Someone brought it to my attention that you are now living very near Marie Parrill over there on the east side of town. Thurman and Marie Parrill are my god parents. My Brother Darrel and his wife Debby live close by there too. Gary
Casavant Chevy
Reply from Dick Johnson (’68): Dunseith, ND
Gary and Friends,
Aggie, you are right! The ’42 Chevy below the Standard sign is
the same body style as the ’46-’48 Chevy coupe that you and your
siblings were in when you hit Shan Vrem’s cow. You get an ‘A’ on old
cars. Chevrolet was just getting back into production after the war and
didn’t change much but the grille and some trim through the ’48 model
year. During the war, very few cars were produced as the companies all
joined in the war effort building equipment for the military. In ’49,
most US auto manufacturers came out with a completely new body style.
Thanks Aggie and Gary!
Dick

Re: San Haven Pic
The lady in white standing next to Stanley Dowling and appears between Arline Sand and Mrs. Amelia Decoteau is to my memory – Eva Trafford who was a cook and later headed the Refectory Kitchen. I worked with her. I also worked with Oscar Thone.

Mona, That was my mistake. I thought this was the lady that Alan Poitra identified has his great Aunt, Eva Morins. With Dick’s posting below I see my mistake. Thanks, Gary

Gary,
One more thing to get closer to done on the picture. Front row,
right side–L-R– Eva Morin, Arlene Sands, Eva ‘Trafford’. We had her
right before so it’s just a typo. Also the first nurse on the left I
believe is Grace Frovarp. The next nurse I am not sure of. Thanks.

Daily Posting
From Mike and Sandra (’62) Zeiler Vandal: Elk River, MN
Asweprogress through to the end of 2011, I want to thank you for your educational e-mails over the past year. I am totally screwed up now and have little chance of recovery.
I can no longer open a bathroom doorwithout using a paper towel, nor let the waitress put lemon slices in my ice water without worrying about the bacteria on the lemon peel.
I can’t sit down on a hotel bedspreadbecause I can only imagine what has happened on it since it was last washed.
I have trouble shaking handswith someone who has been driving because the number one pastime while driving alone is picking one’s nose.
Eating a little snack sends me on a guilt trip becauseI can only imagine how many gallons of trans fats I have consumed over the years.
I can’t touch any woman’s handbagfor fear she has placed it on the floor of a public toilet.
I MUST SEND MY SPECIAL THANKSfor the email about rat poo in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet sponge with every envelope that needs sealing.
ALSO,now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.
I can’t have a drink in a barbecause I fear I’ll wake up in a bathtub full of ice with my kidneys gone.
I can’t eat at KFCbecause their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes, feet or feathers.
I can’t use cancer-causing deodorantseven though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.
THANKS TO YOUI have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.
BECAUSE OF YOUR CONCERN,I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains.
I no longer buyfuel without taking someone along to watch the car, so a serial killer doesn’t crawl in my back seat when I’m filling up.
I no longer use Cling Wrapin the microwave because it causes seven different types of cancer.
AND THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOWI can’t boil a cup of water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face, disfiguring me for life.
I no longer go to the cinemabecause I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS when I sit down.
I no longer go to shopping centersbecause someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.
THANKS TO YOUI can’t use anyone’s toilet but mine because a big black snake could be lurking under the seat and cause me instant death when it bites my butt.
AND THANKS TO YOUR GREAT ADVICEI can’t ever pick up a dime coin dropped in the car park because it was probably placed there by a sex molester waiting to grab me as I bend over.
I can’t do any gardeningbecause I’m afraid I’ll get bitten by the Violin Spider and my hand will fall off.
If you don’t send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 p.m. tomorrow afternoon, and the fleas from 120 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbor�s ex mother-in-law’s second husband’s cousin’s best friend’s beautician . . Oh, and by the way…..

A German scientist fromArgentina, after a lengthy study, has discovered that people with insufficient brain activity read their e-mails with their hand on the mouse.
Don’t bother taking it off now, it’s too late. P. S.I now keep my toothbrush in the living room, because I was told by e-mail that water splashes over 6 ft. out of the toilet. NOW YOU HAVE YOURSELF A VERY GOOD DAY
