Happy Birthday Dan McKay (DHS ’69): Mooreton, ND
Message from Ivy Eller Robert (’74): Everett, WA.
Hi Gary,
Just though I would give everyone an update on my condition. On May 30th, I finally completed my last Chemo Therapy treatment. Got through that pretty well, only a few little set backs, but nothing too major. My Doctor is pretty much convenienced, I am Cancer free (I guess they call it remission). I have to wait 6 weeks from the last treatment to have a PET/CAT Scan to confirm that. That test is scheduled on July 20th at the University of Washington Medical Center, in down town Seattle. It is part of the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, with Children’s Hospital, which is located here in Seattle as well. These people definitely know what they are doing & how to care for you physically as well as your mental state of being. I can’t praise them enough for their care & compassion, expertise. I just can’t imagine anyone going to any other place to be treated. I’m feeling a run down, some what, after all the medication & drugs that have gone through my body for the last 6 months, but over all, I feel very good. I just have to let my body slowly restore it’s self now.
Hopefully, that chapter in my life is closing & with the Good Lords Blessing, I get to open a new chapter soon. I have a new (the first one) Grand baby coming in October & plan on being around for that. My Son said they found out, it’s a boy & his name will be, Cooper David. So I expect I will see a few people from back there soon. Once I get the OK from the Doc, I’m heading to North Dakota to my sister Julie’s, in Bottineau for a while. My son & his wife live in Minot.
I want to Thank everyone that took the time to say a prayer to God for me, which help me a lot to get though this Cancer thing. Thanks again, you all are Good People!

Hi Gary,Thanks for the birthday wishes. They come around way too often it
seems. Got all my medicare supplement choices taken care of and now I
guess I really am a senior citizen! Oh well, guess we just have to try
to stay healthy and enjoy life. Happy Birthday to all my other
classmates out there too.

This is an interesting article on North Dakota. There is a short advertisement at the beginning-then it goes to the main story.
Midland, MI.
Here is some fun for the group and for a great cause too! Susan is the executive director of the region’s BigBrothersBigSisters chapter. The total population of the counties served is close to a half million. The link below is for their online auction—so if anyone chooses to bid— you can do it from anywhere in the world! Some great things in the auction!
Gary—-maybe you should take a shot at one of the Florida vacation packages. Actually — if you won anything — We would make sure it hit the front page here in Midland!
Just sayin’

Gary and Friends, The pictures of the Morinville family are great. Thanks to
Duane for sharing them and to Art for scanning the slides and posting
them. The picture of Joe, Francis, and Toni was probably taken on
Easter Sunday of 1951. I’m guessing that because of how they are
dressed and the background appears to be spring and Toni is only one day
younger than I am and she looks to be under one year of age. I would
bet I know who took their picture too. A while back Bev Morinville
Azure posted a picture of Bob Hosmer, taken in the same location with
the same ’41 Chevy car in the background, so Bob more than likely
snapped the photo for them. I’ll attach a copy of that picture for
comparison. On the Main Street picture, the car right in front of the
camera is ‘Hank the Barber’ Johnson’s old ’50 Nash. I has been showing
up on every Main Street picture we have seen posted because it was
always in front of the barber shop for many years.

To Bonnie Awalt Houle—The Main Street picture shows a color
image of the Standard sign in front of the Stone Garage and shows the
blue flame on top. Funny how many old pictures are out there and keep
popping up because of the DHS blog. Thanks Gary!
Dick
Yes, Toni is one day younger than you Dick. She was born 7/21/1950 and you 7/20/1950.
In reference to the pictures, I have recieved several personal messages eluding to how much appreciated the postings of these old pictures are. So folks, if you have any, please share. With our new website, all these pictures will be on file and available for eternity too, for anyone wishing to view them.Gary

I’ve already gotten some good feedback from the pics, so here are a few more.
Here are a couple of shots of Dearheart Lodge, and a shot Joe took, I’m assuming it’s Dunseith getting it’s original sewer system.
Peace and Power,
Art
