Rolette County Historical Society Museum Old time music Fundraiser

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

Gary and Friends,

We are again having the Old Time Music Jamboree fundraiser for
the Rolette County Historical Society Museum this Saturday evening,
April 14, 7 PM, at the Senior Citizens building on Main Street in St.
John. We have a full roster of performers again this year and have some
new additions to the program. Klem Schmaltz from Deering, ND will be
playing his accordion and we have Mark Kerr from Rolla who is a cowboy
poet and singer/guitar player. The folks who have been waiting for the
Jamboree should have a fun evening again, as always. I hope everyone
who likes old time country and bluegrass music will make plans to
attend. Thanks Gary!

Dick

Reply to the 1932 Threshing Crew Photo

Hi Gary
I found out that one of the guys from the threshing crew picture is a
resident at the nursing home in Bottineau. I’m trying to get somebody
to take the picture to him to see if he can identify the entire crew and
she keeps forgetting to take the picture with her to work. One of
these days we’ll get this one figured out too. Then we’ll do
another picture. Thanks Mary K
