Susan,
I was tagged to this pictuer, so I am assuming these are Dunseith folks, but I don’t recognize many of them. 4th from the right in the front with a flower on her belt kind of looks like Vida Peterson Hiatt?

Gary,
This came from a friend. I’m assuming you know the story; if not, I know there are many Fassett’s in your “readership” who will know.
Did I spell Fassett correctly?
Thanks.
Neola
Neola,
I believe Harry died while on the job. As I recall he just had confrontation and after he was driving the squad car and died at the wheel.
Perhaps someone may know this or can correct the story.
Neola,
I believe that Harry Fassett was Bill (’65) and Gwen (’68) Grimme’s uncle. He was a Brother their mother. He would have also been a brother to Wendal Cushing’s mother too.

Joke of the day
From my good Cebu friend Ed Manning
A sweet grandmother
telephoned the hospital. She timidly asked,
“Is it possible to speak to someone
Who can tell me how a patient is doing?”
The operator said,
“I’ll be glad to help, dear.
What’s the name and room number of the patient?”
The grandmother in her weak, tremulous voice said,
“Norma Findlay, Room 302.”
The operator replied, “Let me put you on hold while I check with the
nurse’s station for that room.”
After a few minutes, the operator
returned to the phone and said, “I have good news. Her nurse just told
me that Norma is doing well. Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work
just came back normal, and her physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to
be discharged tomorrow.”
The grandmother said,”Thank you. That’s wonderful. I was so worried.
God bless you for the good news.”
The operator replied,”You’re more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?”
The grandmother said,”No, I’m Norma Findlay in Room 302. No one tells me
anything.”
