Carbonneau Sisters
Message from Cecile Carbonneau Marchand (’51): Kenosha, WI & Clearwater, FL
Dear Gary: I read your blog every day and would like you to know that Bernadette is in my prayers. I do not write often as I hardly remember many of the people but I do send the news to my sister Rita Anderson ( she and Edgar Anderson had the Gamble store there). She is at Bethany Homes in Fargo and no longer has a computer so she can not keep up with the news. I did not spend a lot of time in Dunseith, only went there to High School. I only lived in Dunseith during the school season but still have wonderful memories of the time I spent there. Our farm was half way from Bottineau to Dunseith. (The Carbonneau Farm).
Hello Cecile,
Thank you ever so much for this reply. We dearly love hearing from the silent folks like you. I can guarantee that you have made someone’s day with this reply too.We used to hear from Rita frequently, but we haven’t now for a while. With her being in the home that explains why. Long term in the Bottineau Hospital used to print out the daily messages to give to Dorothy Pritchard. If Rita is interested, do you think Bethany Homes would do the same for her? If so, please send me their email address. The Bottineau Long Term is still on my distribution too. Not sure if they are printing them out for anyone, but they are still getting the daily blogs.
Again, It is great hearing from you.Gary

Tjon (Brudwick) School
Message from Doreen Larson Moran (BHS ’61): Usk, WA & Hazelton, ND
Dear Gary – I can’t tell you how sorry I am to hear of Bernadette’s misfortune in her health issues. It is good you have such good help to be with both of you. I pray for God’s strength and health for you as you continue your walk / journey through life. Pray that Bernadette has more good days than not so good.
Thank you for your dedication to the Dunseith Alumni Blog. I realize now that the Hills weren’t as wide apart as I thought when I was younger. I was able to get to Garrison ND a couple Saturdays ago to attend their Victorian Dickens Christmas Festival. One of the people I ran into at the crafty cards and other craft items was Karen Nelson Crocker. Kenneth and Evelyn Nelson bought the Tom Tjon homestead in late forties and attended the Tjon (or I guess it was also called the McGrath School or could have been Brudwick School). I think they moved about 1956 after Mrs Nelson was killed in an accident. There were five children – Diane, Karen, Larry, Gail, Tim. It is quite unbelievable to remember and know your first school mates from well over sixty years ago!! So much for small one room schools in the Hill – Turtle Mtns – of North Dakota.
Have a Merry Christmas . Doreen and Bob Moran (back in WA after being in Hazelton ND over Thanksgiving)
Neola Kofoid Garbe’s Caramel ordering information – 701-228-3917
Hi Everyone,
It’s time to send my “caramel ordering information” again. 
I have a new flavor this year: peanut butter. Otherwise, everything is much the same. Because of the price of nuts now, I am charging $14 per lb. for caramels containing nuts. However, I dropped the price of caramels (without nuts and the raspberry/chocolate) to $10 per package. Last year, I charged $11 per pound. However, not liking to work with “odd” numbers, I decided to go with $10 this year. What a deal!! LOL!!

Joke of the day
Posted by Doreen Larson Moran (BHS ’61): Usk, WA & Hazelton, ND
Two Indians and an Irishman were walking through the woods.All of a sudden one of the Indians ran up a hill to the mouth of a small cave.‘Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!’ he called into the cave and listened closely until he heard an answering, ‘Wooooo! Wooooo! Woooooo!
He then tore off his clothes and ran into the cave.The Irishman was puzzled and asked the remaining Indian what it was all about. ‘Was the other Indian crazy or what?’
The Indian replied ‘No, It is our custom during mating season when Indian men see cave, they holler ‘Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!’ into the opening.. If they get an answer back, it means there’s a beautiful squaw in there waiting for us.
Just then they came upon another cave.
The second Indian ran up to the cave, stopped, and hollered, ‘Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!’ Immediately, there was the answer.
‘Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!’ from deep inside.He also tore off his clothes and ran into the opening.
The Irishman wandered around in the woods alone for a while, and then spied a third large cave. As he looked in amazement at the size of the huge opening, he was thinking, ‘Hoo, man! Look at the size of this cave! It is bigger than those the Indians found. There must be some really big, fine women in this cave!’
He stood in front of the opening and hollered with all his might
‘Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!’ Like the others, he then heard an answering call, ‘WOOOOOOOOO, WOOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOO!’
With a gleam in his eye and a smile on his face, he raced into the cave,tearing off his clothes as he ran.
The following day, the headline of the local newspaper read…………….
