Happy Birthday Lorie Hiatt (DHS ’88): Dunseith, ND
We had a nice gathering of Dunseith Bloggers at Dale’s last night for supper. There were about 11 of us including Art Hagen’s two beautiful grand children. We also got to meet Rose! We reminisced about the cruises to Alaska and the Caribbean. We also talked about what fun it would be to go to Vagas! We are hoping Evie is working on the arrangements! Of course we spent time praising Gary Stokes for starting the blog and bringing us all back together. We also marveled at how lucky we were to grow up in a community that neighbors helped neighbors and because so many of us are related, their was a sense of family. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all that took time to have supper with me and also Gary for making it happen.
Speaking of family, I have spent time with my brothers Kick, Jay and Bill. Today I am on my way to my sister Myra who lives in Willow City. I am staying at my sister Patsy’s which is where I grew up so to speak! The weather has been very pleasant which I hope to take with me to DC. Thank you all who have told me of sights to see and those of you who have told me about the pleasant weather I am to expect in DC. I think I will be visiting many air conditioned museums!!
Saturday I am on my way to spend time with my daughter in Milnor, North Dakota and then on Wednesday, Chelsea and I will be headed for Washington DC.

Phyllis,Thank you so much for this reply. Was Rene Casavant in the area or did he make a special trip from Bismarck to have supper with you? Rene is a true gentleman from head to foot.Enjoy your time in DC too.Gary
Florence Hiatt Dahl’s comment on her answer to the question of
how old she was reminded me of a story. A little old lady is sitting on
the front steps of a house smoking a cigarette and watching the traffic
go by. A young reporter notices her and thought he would ask her how
she managed to live to such an obvious ripe old age. She tells him
bluntly–“I smoke 3 packs a day, drink a 5th of whiskey, and if I can
get any drugs I do them too.” The reporter is nearly in shock when he
asks how old she actually is? She proudly states, “36”.
