Howdy Gary,

 

I just got good news from Rick’s wife. She said starting last night Rick started moving some and is responding when spoken to some. You can go to CaringBridge.org/visit/RickKuhn and find out a lot better then what I can explain. Please send a note and a prayer to his family.

 

Thanks Everyone

Jim McCoy (’62) now has email: Dunseith, ND

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

 

Gary,

Welcome back! We went through denial and withdrawal but now it’s
back to our daily ‘fix’ of Dunseith memories. Jim McCoy called me to
see how he could get included in the daily DHS blog messages and I told
him all you needed was his email address. He was glad to hear that and
said he would sure like to be receiving them. He is getting a new
computer and is currently getting his email through his daughter. His
new email address is. Thanks for adding him to
the list.

Dick

Thank you Dick and welcome aboard Jim. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Gary and Bernadette,

 

I am so sorry we didn’t have time together here in Washington. I couldn’t reach you by phone. I would get the message that you called but if you left a message, I did not get it and when I tried to return the call I would get a funny beep. Leo was disappointed that things didn’t work out so we could have gotten together.

 

I am glad you returned to Cebu save and sound. I also hope you got to spend many hours with your grandchildren while you were here.

 

I have some great pictures of the cruise which I will send at a later date as I am pressed for time at the moment. Patsy and I have talked at length about what a good time we had on the cruise. It was so fun seeing so many people from Dunseith. We really came from all over the US and Cebu!! Many times I have marveled at the community spirit Dunseith has had for so many years. I do not believe there are many places in the world that seem so connected because of sharing a common background. We seem genuinely happy to see each other!

 

I will send more later.

 

Phyllis

 

 
 
 
Folks,
 
For those of you that would like to blow this up a little or print it out on larger paper, I have also attached this group picture (below) with today’s blog.
 
Folks, please share any pictures that you have with us. All that I have are the ones we took of which I will be posting here and there in the next while.

Had a great time on the cruise and enjoyed the group. Had a little situation (No Problem Mon) after we got home. Had a slight stroke on Friday but have come out of it with no problems. Must of been the bill.HaHa Glad to here everyone made it home OK. Again thanks for including us on the cruise. LMB
Larry and Mary,
 
It was such a pleasure having you guys on the cruise. We very much enjoyed your company.
 
Larry, You and John Bedard (’65) worked together for many years at the Bottineau Post office and now you are neighbors up at Lake Metigoshe. Everlasting friends. With you being a Kramer ’65 guy too, we were very happy that you guys were able to join us for the Class of 65 dinner onboard too.
 
Which one of you had the slight stroke? I am glad that it was slight. Hope all will continue to be OK.
 
Gary
