Gary,  It was wonderful to see the post by Minnie Mary Mckay Merrill.  At one of our Dunseith celebrations
she was in attendance, and she was sometimes on horse back with a cowgirl hat , with her blond hair bouncing about as she rode around town and probably in one of the parades.  It’s wonderful to know she is still watching
airplanes and boats. In high school she didn’t pay much attention to me, but neither did anyone else. So it is.

Donna Jean Tweten Fugere’s Memory of the Thunderbirds
Posted by  Kim Fugere Ogilvie:  Renton, WA 

Hello All,

This is a memory of the Thunderbirds from my Mom, Donna Jean Tweten Fugere.

Everyone’s comments about Bill Hosmer brought back great memories for me about

the day the Thunderbirds flew over Dunseith.  I know you kids have heard Dad & I talk

about that day many times.  I guess the reason we talked about it so much is because

that had to be one of the best days of our lives.

 

I remember I was working at the garage that day (bookkeeping) when the Thunderbirds

flew over.  What a thrill that was!!! I can’t begin to tell you how it made us feel. I can’t even

describe it. I do remember Dad & I ducking down & when we looked up we could see the

underside of the planes & when we talked about it after we both said we felt like we could

have reached right up & touched  those planes.

 

I just had to share those memories with all of you, once more.

 

Love, Mom 

PS. Jeremy, Do you happen to remember having your picture

taken with Bill Hosmer, at a celebration in Dunseith. Maybe you

were too young to remember that ?

 Jeremy is my youngest Brother who also lives here in Renton, WA
