At the Bottineau Spectrum (Karen Larson):
Hello Gary, I printed off the two pictures and the identification (one with the numbers and one without) on one 11×17 – they look pretty good. If anyone wants one – they would be 75 cents, can update it as more people are identified. Karen
Karen,
What a deal. I am thinking the Photo paper is more costly than the 75 cents you are charging.
Thank you Karen for doing this for us.

Bottineau Vets hall – Bob Stokes’ Army Picture with Corbin and Norman Pritchard
Reply from Karen Larson (Bottineau Spectrum Store): Bottineau, ND
Gary – I am the person who would get to print and take the picture to the vets hall. So if you get it to me I will get it over there. : ) Karen
Thank you so much Karen.
I just scanned my little 2×3 picture, with a 1,200 DPI, of Dad, Corbin and Norman that I sent to you. For a 70 year old picture, it turned out pretty sharp. That picture has a border on it too, so the actual picture size is much smaller than 2×3.
Thanks again Karen.
Gary.
PS – I love our FB chats too, most often well after midnight your time. Not sure how you are able to burn the candle at both ends, day after day, but you manage.

Hi Gary
Yep. Dale is correct. That is Uncle Norman Pritchard on that picture
with Corbin and Bob.
Hang in there and give Bernadette my best. Times
can be rough.
Take care,
Mary K

Dear Gary,
It is not Lloyd Awalt in the military picture.
All my years growing up in Dunseith I wondered why the fan above the door of the Crystal Cafe, and did anyone ever see it running? I remember asking once and being told, “Oh it’s always been there”.

Reply from Lloyd Awald (44): Bottineau, ND
hi Gary
In reply to Doreen Moran & Gary wall yes I was in the navy and I knew the Pritchard’s very well. Winifred stayed at our place when she went to high school. She would take me and my sister home with her on weekends. That’s how I got to know them & the Stokes’ and a few more of the people that lived up there. know about the picture of bob stokes, Corbin Pritchard and he one you think is me. Thanks any way but the sailor in the picture is Norman Pritchard. He was in the navy before me. I went in July of 43 I think Norman went right after pearl harbor was blasted.
Hello Lloyd,
I think I remember my dad telling us that when he was home on furlough in the winter of 1942 he was required to wear his Army uniform at all times when he was home on vacation. That wouldn’t have bothered my dad though, because he wore his uniform with a whole lot of pride. That I witnessed with his association with American Legion. He was able to fit into his army uniform for many years following his discharge from WW II of which he wore each year in the Bottineau Memorial day parade.
