Hi Gary,
Yes, Brent Armentrout is a part of our family! He married our daughter Teri some 28 yrs ago. (is that right, guys?) They were here from AZ to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. The family did a great job of planning, and Mike and I had such a great time. Sat. the 23rd, open house, and Sun, continued at our house with family celebrating Mikes 70th birthday. We are so blessed . Hey, Brent maybe you could put the whole family picture up. That would be great.
Take care, Sandy
Dale’s Jumbo Burgers
Reply from Diane Larson Sjol (’70): Minot, ND
When we were little kids in Dunseith we dreamed about buying a jumbo burger. It cost about $1.10 from what I remember in the early sixties. Debbie Morinville, Beverly Morinville, my sister Cheryl Larson Dakin, Dennis Dion and I had a puppet show, sold lemonade and robbed our piggy banks to get enough money to buy a jumbo. We walked all the way to Dales from town (seemed like many miles at the time). We were so hungry and our mouths were watering…we couldn’t wait to get a bite out of that jumbo. Finally it came and between the five of us kids, we licked the platter clean. We go back every time we are in Dunseith and every time we have out of town company. Nothing beats it. Now my mom, Verdellis (Verdy) Richard Larson would just have one thing to say about that jumbo….”Could I please have a slice of raw onion with that?”

The only thing that could make a Dales Jumbo Burger better would be to order a side of JoJo’s to go with it!

Holy Smokes, Gary! You’re famous!! They should name a burger after you at Dales. A Stokes Blogger!! What a great name for a burger. I can just hear the radio advertisements between innings of the ball games extolling the virtues and taste of a Stokes Blogger, hmmmm, mmmmm good. -:)

Bob,You are funny funny. There are folks in/from Dunseith a lot more notable than me. George Gottbreht was just being nice putting that sign up there. I will admit that I was in a state of shock when we drove into Dunseith and saw that sign. Bernadette saw it first and let out a gasp in disbelief, “look at that sign with your name on it”.Gary
December 7, 1941 diary page of Bill Fassett’s & Railroad crew Picture
Posted by Susan Fassett (’65): Spearfish SD
This is a page from my dad’s diary. Thought it might be of interest to some. It is dated Dec 7th, 1941. Dad was in Montana at the time working on the Great Northern Railroad. He soon was called and went to radio school and then to the New Hebrides where he was a radio operator. Note the WAR DECLARED written across the entry.
This is the Railroad crew dad worked with. Don’t know who anyone is except my dad, second from the left (with mustache).
