Posted on Diane Millang Volk’s Face Book page.
The memorial service for Shirley Brennan will be at 2:00PM at the Methodist Church in Minot on Tuesday April 17th. She served on the State Council of Developmental Disabilities. She was an advocate for people with disabilities all of her adult life. In her younger years she played on a basketball team and did square dancing (in a wheelchair) she was always active including kayaking and dog sledding. Rest in Peace Shirley
I am so saddened to hear of Shirley’s passing. Being Paraplegic, she lived a full independent life. As I recall, she was paralyzed in an accident on a school trip, I think in her senior year. I had several nice chats with Shirley when I was putting class lists together. I know she read these daily blogs too. She is one that we can all take examples from for making the best of each situation and not feeling sorry for our selves. She was a remarkable person. Shirley was a sister to Velma Millang.Gary
Leslie Cushing (Deceased)
Reply from Gwen Grimme Eltz (’68): Spokane, WA
Hi Gary,
When the “Tarsus country-school kids” photo was first published on the blog, Leslie Cushing and I talked about it. I sent him a copy of the picture and blog, and he told me that he wasn’t in the picture. He and I had a lot of fun telephone visits over the years, and we often would thread together memories that kept us both interested in the connections people had in the Dunseith/Bottineau areas. I miss him–especially when the Bottineau Courant shows up in our mailbox. That’s usually when he and I would have our long telephone visits down memory lane.
New Years Eve San Haven Photo in about 1948
From Karen Loeb Mhyre (’65):Bellevue, WA
This is a photo of San Haven holiday party. I was told it was a New Years Eve Party but I am not sure of the year. My parents were late for the party so are not in the group photograph. The photo of my parents was taken the same evening.
I thought it would be interesting to identify the people in the group photo. I know some of them and I can give you a list of those I know.

Hi Gary,
This is for the Gayle who lived in/near Omemee or Willow City. This picture came from Jackie Paulson Robertson. Clayton Knoepfle, Ardell Willard (Grimm), Jim Fraser, and Irene Schultz (Flory)are my classmates. They came to Bottineau for high school. Gloria Shultz’ mother, Florence, lives in the main floor apartment/below my apartment.

Neola,These kids all look pretty close in age. Clayton Knoepfly, married to Barbara Bott (’58), I think was in your BHS class of 1957 or 58?. I’m guessing this picture was taken in the late 40’s?Gary
