Folks,
 
Last night in the middle of the night our power went out. As a result my computer was off this morning. When I  turned it on this morning it was trying to boot up off my back-up “D” hard drive. I had forgotten how to correct this problem, so I had to take it down to the mall for the specialist to fix. It took them about 10 minutes is all and all is working fine now. I now know the procedure to fix, if this should happen again. It may have only taken 10 minutes to fix, but a big portion of my day was consumed taking car of this problem. As a result I did not get a blog out today. It is now midnight Friday, so I am going to post what I have. I will not be posting another blog until Sunday morning. 
 
Good morning to all of you this Friday Morning. I will be hitting the sack as soon as I have this distributed.

Gary, just to let you and the rest know it’s Sharon Peterson’s (1963) birthday today. Happy Birthday Sharon.
Thanks for the heads up Dennis.
Sharon, this is a day or two late, but none the less we still wish you a happy birthday.

Happy Belated Birthday to Bill Henry (DHS ’63)
From Dennis Dubois (’63):  Minneapolis, MN
 
Gary, I’d appreciate it if you’d also remind people of Bill Henry’s (1963) birthday too, it was on July 9th. He was my best friend all through school and has retired and moved back to the home place. As so many of my fellow classmates, is very successful in life. Wonderful wife in Marsha, although I don’t know if she enjoys our story telling as much as we do. Thanks again, Gary.
 
Dennis,
 
Bill does not have email, but I know someone will pass this message unto him

Leah Richard Bergeron Passed away
Posted by Neola Kofoid Garbe: Bottineau & Minot, ND
 
Gary, I’ll keep an eye out for Leah’s complete obituary.  This is an excellent picture of her.  Leah was an icon in the Bottineau community–at least that’s how I feel.

Neola,
 
In my eyes I so very much agee with you that Leah was a real Icon to the Bottineau community. She was always doing something for somebody. Leah Was a very close and dear friend of folks. She was visited my folks very often. This is a picture of Leah, in 1996, in my folks back yard talking to my Dad’s brother Nels Petterson. Velma Millang is sitting beside Leah.
 
Our condolences are with her family with her passing. Being a Richard, Leah is related to a whole bunch of you folks too.

Postings from the 1936 Dunseith Journal
From Susan Fassett (’65):  Spearfish SD
 
Susan,
 
The Ackworth news brings back a lot of familiar names.
 
Fauske Siblings, you will have to bring this one to your mothers attention. She (Eleanore) Graduated from DHS in 1942. Assuming she was 18 at the time, she would have only been 12 years old when she submitted this news to the Dunseith Journal. I’d say she did a mighty fine job putting this all together.
 
Speaking of the Fauske’s, Eleanore (Stubby) and Elwood will be celebrating their 70th Wedding anniversary here very soon too.   
 
Gary
 
     Pretty sharp looking couple for 70 years of Marriage

Gary,
 
I’ve sent pictures of the Gardner’s before–don’t know if I’ve sent this one.  One of your readers is related to Jason/Agnes, but I can’t remember who it is.
 
Neola
Linda Gardner and Trish Larson Wild, are you guys related to Jason and Agnes Gardner?
