Folks,
When I got up this morning we didn’t have any power. After I called the electric company, of which they came right out to fix the problem, it was time to bowling, so I am just now getting the blog out. It is nearly 10:00 PM. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow morning, so I will not be posting a blog tomorrow.

| Gary,
What the???? that is quite a typo on my blog address you gave there. Bloodspot???
Should I be afraid?
Here is the real address: trishwild.blogspot.com
Was that a senior moment? Or a freudian slip?
Yikes! And here’s a newer photo: One from GG Park on Saturday with Jeff, an officer on the Mounted Patrol. He tells me it’s a 27 year wait list to get on the Mounted Patrol. Says “I smile every day I get to go to work, and laugh every two weeks when I get a paycheck”.

1932 Willow City Thrething Picture
Reply form Neola Kofoid Garbe: Bottineau & Minot, ND
Hi Gary,
Before I went to visit Otto Stockberger, I print a copy of the threshing crew/added numbers to the people. It’s the only way I know for sure which name goes with which man.
I now know why someone thought Andrew Stockberger lived at Good Sam. Otto said he’s quite sure one of the fellows in the picture is his uncle, Andrew Stockberger #6.
Otto’s guesses:
#11 Arnold Schultz
# 9 Jim or George Egbert
# 2 George or Jim Egbert
# 3 might be Henry Durdle or Everett Schultz
# 6 Andrew Stockburger
Otto said he was ten years old when this picture was taken, but this is how he remembered these fellows. I hope this helps with the identification. 
Neola
Thank you so much Neola. You did great!Those not yet identified#5, #4, #7, #3 Henry Durdle or Everett Schultz

Joke of the day
Posted by Allen Richard (’65): Midland, MI.
After being married for 50 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, “Fifty years ago we had a cheap house, a junk car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 23-year-old girl.
Now … I have a $250,000 home, a $45,000 car, a nice big bed and a large screen TV, but I’m sleeping with a 73-year-old woman. It seems to me that you’re not holding up your side of things.”
My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 23-year-old girl and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap house, driving a junk car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.
Aren’t older women great? They really know how to solve an old guy’s problems.
