Peace Garden Memories
Form Sybil Johnson:  Chippewa Falls, Wi.
 
 remember the Peace Gardens, very well. I had never heard of them, before I met Augie and he took me to Dunseith. From that time forward, I made many trips to the Peace Gardens; for its
beauty and tranquility. I am also amzed, just how many people dont know about the Peace Gardens. We use to go up there and have family picnics. Just to get away from Minot, I use to
get in my car and just drive up there and after a couple of hours, drive back to Minot. I have a few pictures of Axel (my father-in-law) and Augie, sitting at the table at the little drive-in. What was always amazing, was the FLORAL CLOCK. It was so beautiful, sitting back in the little mound.

Remembering those GARDENS,  I wonder what the rest of the world would be like, if they took the same effort, that Canada and the United States did in the 1950s. If we and Canada can do it, then I think rest of the world could do the same thing.

Bill Hosmer
From Minnie Mary McKay Merrill (’48):  Renton, WA
 
Hi Gary and all who read this blog,  Yesterday, the Blue Angels did their yearly show in conjunction with SeaFair in Seattle.  The Hydroplanes also raced on Lake Washington.  I always think of Bill Hosmer when we see and hear those planes go over.  This year we were invited to Eric’s (my second son) mother-in-law’s house who is in the direct path of the planes.  We went to the roof, and let me tell you, those planes were close.   The day my daughter, Meghan, got married 19 years ago which was SeaFair weekend, the Blue Angels flew over the outdoor wedding site just before the ceremony–not that they knew a wedding was going on or that we had any connection with them.
 
When I was a student at Dunseith High, Bill was in the same class.  He sat across from me in different classes, but my memory does not pull up much more than that he was a very good student.

Gary and Friends,

         Thanks to Bill Hosmer for the story of his dancing days at the
old Dunseith City Hall.  It really brought back good memories for me as
I’m sure it did for most readers on the blog.  Great job BIll.  Thanks Gary!

Dick

WOW…what a great memory you have Bill…you are quite the story teller.

You made me laugh and cry at the same time…

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this…my family and I are sure having fun reading these stories!!

We had the Blue Angels here in Seattle over the weekend…it sure is exciting when they are here.  They flew over our house quite a few times.

What a fascinating career you had…it’s been fun to read the stories about you on this blog and I am going to try and purchase the book by Lowell Peterson. 

On another note, I have attached a picture that I was wondering if anyone had any information about.  My Grandfather Arthur Fugere is the 2nd boy on the left of the woman in the picture.  We also think that the boy on the far right of the picture is Art’s Brother Louie Fugere.  This picture has been in our family but we’re not sure of the particulars of the event.  Any help would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Kim (Fugere) Ogilvie

Art Fugere is the 2nd Boy from the Teacher’s left and not sure if Louie is the Boy in the far right of the picture
