Bottineau First Lutheran High School class of 1958 confirmation picture

Beverly Lemieux and I should have been in this confirmation class, but for some reason, we didn’t attend confirmation this year and were confirmed with the confirmation class of 1958. I also officially graduated with the high school class of 1958.
I think EdnaMae and Lavonne/Vonnie Nelson attended/graduated from Dakota Lutheran Academy (high school) in Minot.
Marlis Nelson was Lloyd Nelson’s sister. She passed away many years ago; I’m not sure what the cause of death was.

Stokes Residence in Cebu this afternoon
These gals and Art Hagen too, visited Bernadette and me too, this afternoon. They notified us last night that they would be coming at about 1:00 PM. Bernadette decided to prepare dinner for them. We let them know not to eat before coming too. After dinner they spent their leisure time outside playing cards, chatting and of coarse chatting on Face Book. Art and I were sitting on the upper level out of this picture. For you ND folks, take note of the fan in the lower picture. This is February.

Joke of day
Posted by Art Hagen (’72): Cebu, Philippines & Bottineau, ND
A Norwegian and a German entered a chocolate store. As they were busy looking, the German stole 3 chocolate bars.
As they left the store, the German said to the Norwegian, “Man I’m the best thief, I stole 3 chocolate bars and no one saw me. You can’t beat that.”
The Norwegian replied: “You want to see something better? Let’s go back to the shop and I’ll show you real stealing.”
So they went to the counter and the Norwegian said to the shopkeeper, “Do you want to see magic?”
The shopkeeper replied, “Yes.”
The Norwegian said, “Give me one chocolate bar.”
The shopkeeper gave him one, and he ate it.
The Norwegian asked for a second bar, and he ate that as well. He asked for the third, and finished that one too.
The shopkeeper asked: “But where’s the magic?”
The Norwegian replied: “Check in my friend’s pocket, and you’ll find all three bars of chocolate.”
You just CAN’T beat a Norwegian!
