Jeanmarie (Jean) Abrahamson (’65) passed away
Message from Darrel Abrahamson (’68):  St. John, ND
 
Just letting you know that my sister Jeanmaire passed away on June 10 in Wichita, Kansas at home.
Funeral plans are pending.
Darrel,
 
As I mentioned in my reply to you, Jeanmarie called me frequently. It has been a while since she called now though and I have been thinking about her wondering how she was doing. Now, I only wish I had called when I was thinking about her. Now it is too late. Jeanmarie most certainly had her beliefs in life and she lived by those beliefs too. Her food intake and the kinds of food she ate was one of them. I used to like to get a rise out of her by telling her some of the food I ate, some of which I didn’t really eat or eat as much of as I told her and she knew that too. 
 
Jeanmarie’s kidneys gave out on her a few years ago, so she has been on dialysis.
 
Our condolence are with you, your parents and the rest of your family with here passing.  She will be missed.

Message/Picture from Susan Fassett Martin (’65):
 
Was so sad to hear that Jean passed away.    She was one of the girls that I ran around with in High School.   Hadn’t seen her since graduation since she didn’t make it to the reunion.   Prayers go out to her family.   Hugs   Susan.
Susan,
 
This picture is from our class of 65, but with your hats on you all look different. I am pretty sure that is Helen Rivard Christenson, but I am not totally sure. I am certain that is Helen Vogel’s though. Jean and you I positively know. You four gals were pretty close running mates all through high school.

Joke of the day
 
 Harold was an old man. He was sick
and in the hospital.There was one nurse
that just drove him crazy.
Every time she came in, she would talk
to him like he was a little child. She
would say in a patronizing tone of voice,
’And how are we doing this morning’,

or ‘Are we ready for a bath’, or ‘Are we hungry?’

Old Harold had had enough of this
particular nurse. One day, at breakfast,
Old Harold took the apple juice off the
tray and put it in his bed side stand.
Next, he was given a urine bottle
to fill for testing.

So you know where the juice went!

The nurse came in a little later, picked
up the urine bottle and looked at it.
‘My, it seems we are a little cloudy today. ‘

At this, Old Harold snatched the bottle
out of her hand, popped off the top,
and drank it down, saying,
‘Well, I’ll run it through again.
Maybe I can filter it better this time.’

The nurse fainted!

DON’T MESS WITH ‘OLD’ PEOPLE!!!!
