Gary,
Is it just a coincidence that you happened to post these pictures, or did you somehow know that it is my birthday today?! I actually was thinking of that very birthday party earlier today because it was the only real “party” that I got to invite a few friends, while living in Dunseith. Usually, my mom was so busy that we just had small, family gatherings for birthdays.
We, in the Pacific Northwest, have enjoyed about 13 days in a row of nice weather. Many, many rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, wisterias, etc. are all in full bloom right now. Everything is so colorful and the grass is so green (and growing like crazy).
Thanks for posting the pictures – brings back lots of good memories!
By the way, please tell me how to donate to the website fund using PayPal?
Sincerely,
Peggy
Happy Belated Birthday Peggy,I had no idea that yesterday was your birthday. The powers above must have been with the timing of that posting. Your brother Dave (’64) looks exactly the way I remember him too. Had I seen this picture out of the blue I would have known it was Dave.My Paypal address is my email address gws123456@hotmail.comPeggy, when we saw you in Seattle the day we boarded the cruise ship for Alaska in August 2009, I am disappointed that we did not get any pictures. I am not sure if you have a daughter, but if you do, I’ll bet you get mistaken for sisters.Gary

From Dennis
Thanks for the prompt answer. In regards to my sister: Yes her given name is Evelyn, no one ever used that name, her pay checks are issued in “Cookie”, I believe. Her class year would have been 1966, her address is: Belcourt, ND 58316. Thanks again I’ve been forwarding them, but I want her to get the Home Blog info and I didn’t know if she could get it of my forwarding. Thanks and have a good day.
I have added Cookie to our distribution list and to my records. Thanks, Gary

Doreen,
That is my photo, the date shows that it was taken just before I left for my first tour in the Vietnam War. I have no idea why the photo was taken but I do have a copy framed on a shelf here.

Bruce,Now that you have been identified, I am sure that many of our readers who remember you and others too, would like to hear from/about you and your past from your High School days to the present. This is a Dunseith Alumni blog & Website, but we have many Bottineau folks on our distribution. My cousin, Neola Kofoid Garbe, has provided us with a lot of history/pictures and newspaper articles from the past. Her contributions have attributed to our continued existence, going on 5 years now. Neola is the holder of your picture too.Doing the math, I am assuming you graduated from Bottineau in about 1963? I am a ’65 DHS grad.Gary StokesNeola’s reply to Doreen
Back again. I just sent an email to Bruce, inquiring if he would like to have me mail the original pictures to him. Between Barbara Tallon Hegdahl and you, it sure didn’t take long to get Bruce identified. I would NEVER have guessed this was a Gillett. I didn’t know if this fellow even lived in the Bottineau area. Uff da!! LOL! Fun!Neola
