Kenny,
 
This email message from you went into my spam and I just now found it. So so sorry about that. Jean’s memorial will be over by the time most folks read this.

        Jeanmarie Abrahamson was born on Oct. 21, 1947, in Rolla, ND, to Howard and Maude (Nerpel) Abrahamson. She was reared on the family farm near Dunseith, ND, and attended school and graduated from Dunseith High School in 1965.  After graduation, she attended the North Dakota State School of Forestry, Bottineau, ND.

Dale’s Jumbo Burger
Reply from Sybil Johnson: Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin
 
I remember the first Dale jumbo hamburger, I had. It was the Memorial w. of 1965, when Augie, me and my mother first came to Duneith, to
meet Augie’s family. I couldnt believe how big it was and with french fries.. Augie took me to Dales and at that time, Mary Lou was working
there. So, that was my first experience with Dale’s jumbo hamburger.
We were married July 31st of the same year.

Homeland Security

 
There was a bit of confusion at the store this morning.
When I was ready to pay for my groceries, the cashier said, “Strip down, facing me.”  Making a mental note to complain to my congressman about Homeland Security running amok, I did just as she had instructed.
When the hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subsided, I found out that she was referring to my credit card.
I have been asked to shop elsewhere in the future.
They need to make their instructions to us seniors a little clearer
