Leah Bergeron hits the Century mark.
Posting from Neola Kofoid Garbe: Bottineau & Minot, ND
 
Folks, being a Richard, many of you are related to Leah. This article explains her just the way I learned to know her. She was very good friends with my folks. It wasn’t until I started doing this blog that I realized she is a Richard. I am not sure if my folks even knew that either. Leah has a heart of gold.

Book “Tellttale Souls Writing the Mother Memoir” By Lynn Henriksen
From Lynn Henriksen (64): Tiburon, CA
 
 

Hi Gary,

Thought you might be interested in my newly published book that has many North Dakota reference in it!!!

 

Hello all TellTale Souls, you lovely writers of the Mother Memoir,

I’ve attached the press release to give you the short take on TellTale Souls Writing the Mother Memoir: How to Tap Memory and Write Your Story Capturing Character & Spirit.Yes, the title is almost as long as the time it took to get the book out into the world.

·It has taken Amazon a few weeks, since the pub date of 3-31-12, to get the book & author page live with all the important parts working, so I wanted to wait until it was ready to let you know.

·I placed 40 stories, from my much larger collection, in strategic places throughout the guidebook to go hand-in-hand with the writing lessons—prompts and exercises. Regrettably, I couldn’t get all of the stories in at this time, so volume II may happen, and many stories will be published on my website—after I come up for air!

·This has been truly a labor of love, but worth it, since I’ve received terrific feedback on the finished book.

·Reviews are everything, so if you’d like to write yours and put it on Amazon, in customer reviews, that would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

P.S. I’m inserting the press release below, in case you can’t open the attachment. Sorry, it won’t paste in well, but I hope you can get the drift. If you want to send it out to let your network of people know about it, it’ll be best to send the attachment.

Folks, Please see attached document. Gary

 
 
Joke of the day
From Mark Schimetz (’70): Rolette, ND
 
A drunk woman, stark naked, jumped into a taxi in Minneapolis,
Minnesota.

The taxi driver Ole, who happened to be an old Norwegian man, opened
his eyes wide and stared at the woman.
He made no attempt to start the cab. She said to him: – “What’s wrong
with you honey? Haven’t you ever seen a naked woman before?”
The old man said:- “Lady, I’m not staring at you, I am telling you,
dat vould not be proper vair I come from”.
She said: – “Well, if you’re not staring at my boobs sweetie, what are
you doing then?”
He said:- “Vell, I am looking and I’m looking, and I am tinking to
myself, vair in da hell is dis lady keeping da money to pay for dis
ride ?
