Dean Stickland has four by-passes
Message from Dean Stickland (’73): Olympia, WA
Gary,
Just thought I’d give you a little update from the great state of Washington. Last Thursday evening, Feb. 21, I had a nasty heart attack. I had no previous symptoms so it sure takes you by surprise. Fortunately we had an emergency team here in just a few minutes and they hauled me off to one of the best cardio hospitals in the northwest. Saturday morning they did four by-passes and I was home on Wednesday afternoon. All has gone so well and I’m in relatively little pain. Both Drs. commented on my excellent physical condition and said that sure makes things easier for them during surgery and will be a great asset during recovery.
I’ve temporarily put both businesses on hold and will concentrate on getting full strength back. Luckily for me my wife, Marion, is a wonderful help and is already trying out new “heart-healthy” recipes on me.
Thanks, Gary, for your continued efforts with keeping all us Dunseith folks informed and entertained.

Dean,You and Marion look so good in this picture. You most certainly resemble your older brother Leland too. Glad to hear that you are on the mend. Things will only get better too.Gary

How lucky am I.
I have two granddaughters playing in North Dakota District Basketball Tournaments.
Sadie playing for Velva, in Dunseith, for the District 11 championship game, and
Madison is playing for Hazen, in Dickinson, for the District 14 championship.
Win or loose both teams will advance to the State Regional Tournaments
Both games are scheduled to be played on Monday night.

Joke of the Day
Dan was a single guy living at home with his father and working in the family business. When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his cancer stricken father died, he decided he needed to find a wife with whom to share his fortune.
>> One evening, at an investment meeting, he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away. “I may look like just an ordinary guy,” he said to her, “But in just a few months my father will die and I will inherit $200 million.”
>> Impressed, the woman asked for his business card and three days later, she became his stepmother.
