Happy Easter to all:
 
We are going out for dinner today at 12:00 noon with some friends of ours from England who are now living here in Cebu. They too are retired. In order to live here they, like all foreigners not married to or family of former Filipino citizens, had to invest $40,000 in this country for the privilege of being able to live here. It’s currently 10:00 AM (Easter Sunday), so I am putting this out a little early today before leaving for dinner.

Condolences to the Eileen Cote Foster family
From Rita Carboneau Anderson (Former Gamble store owner): Fargo, ND
 

In rememberance of Eileen Cote Foster,
I wish to extend my sympathy. I knew all of the Cote family as I lived in the Dunsieth and Bottineau area for many years. It is nice that Gary keeps us all informed of what is going on. My sister-in-law and brother live in Bottineau, they moved from the farm last fall.
Sincerly,
Rita Carbonneau Anderson

Hi Gary,

 
I didn’t realize Doris Fugere attended school in Dunseith. Here’s a picture of her/her mother/daughter/granddaughters. Lona Jean was married to an Aho. Lona’s grandson was almost in my class at Bel Air years ago. His mother/he/siblings moved to a different part of Minot before school started.
 
I have/had a family picture of Leo/Doris; I might have given it to Cherrille Bergeron McLean.

Folks, When I got to researching Doris Bergeron Fugere’s ties with Dunseith, I discovered she is related to a whole bunch of you folks. To get it all straight in my mind I put together a simple little power point sketch below. In the process I discovered that Francis is Doris’ sister. Francis was married to Oscar Fugere. Francis and Oscar sat at the same table as my parents for years for their daily dinner meal at the Senior citizens in Bottineau. For all the years that I knew them, I had no idea that Francis was related to all the Dunseith Richard’s. This sketch nowhere includes all of the Richard families. I only included those that I know to be connected to Dunseith. I know there are way more relationships than I have listed here. Floyd/Carmen Richard, I discovered I don’t have the names of your children. Gary
