Hi Gary:
Lee Stickland is right about dad’s dog, Tony, a pretty collie.  He was almost human. Dad tells great stories about him. There was even a write-up in some newspaper about it way back when.
He could walk a tightrope, would shut off the lights at night when dad told him to, jump off the chicken coop into dad’s arms. He simply seemed to understand whatever you said to him according to dad.

They took over ownership of the Dakota Hotel in Dec of 1947 and lived
there a number of years.  A brother of either George or Margaret was
a patient at San Haven.  When George and Margaret left Dunseith the
brother stayed.  I have looked in the History Book and can’t even
find a picture of the Dakota Hotel.  Who has a good one?  I
contacted Lloyd Awalt and he is doing some investigating.  Anyone
else out there have any memories.  The daughter of George and
Margaret is contacting her older sister to see if she remembers any
details.  I am continuing my search.  I did find one small article
from the Dunseith Journal about the Brauns purchasing the hotel.
Another fun investigative search for the bloggers.  Thanks  ,
Hugs,  Susan
Mellmer information.   No other reference to the hotel that I could
find.  I would like to know when it was built, who built it and the
history of it.  HELP!!
I’m sure all those North Dakota recipients of your blog will have no problem taking this little quiz. I must say I didn’t do so well myself, but at least I didn’t get them all wrong. Enjoy!!!
