No blog the previous two days.
Folks,
With a dinner gathering we had on Saturday evening I was unable to get a blog posted. Last night when we returned from the Mall I had a message from Rose and Art Hagen asking if we’d like to join them for a St. Patrick’s Day dinner and evening at the only Irish Pub in the area. In doing that I was unable to get a blog out yesterday either. This evening we are having an Expat dinner at the Marco Polo Hotel. The Marco Polo is offering our group 50% off for their Buffet dinner just for this evening. They have been rated as having the best Buffet in SE Asia. With their reputation and 50% off promotion for our group, we will have a large gathering. I currently have 71 folks on our list for attending the Marco Polo this evening. There may be a few walk-ins from our group too. In the three years that we have been having these monthly dinners, this, I think, will be our largest dinner gathering yet.

Dakota Hotel and George & Margaret Braun
Update from Susan Fassett Martin (’65): Spearfish, SD
I got more information from the daughter of George and Margaret Braun.
They purchased the Dakota Hotel and cabins in 1946 . George’s
brother, Joseph was a patient at the San. Ellen Braun started first
grade in Dunseith in 1947. George’s sister Rose ran the place for
them for a number of years. Ellen was also friends with a girl that
lived over the Drugstore but she could not recall her name. Melmers
bought the hotel in 51 as the Brauns had a farm and five children in
school in New England ND. Joseph Braun married Edwina Fugere. .
Maybe some one else can fill in some more gaps. How Fun!! Brauns
daughter Dianne is living in New England still. And her Daughter is
the young lady who came to visit us and started this whole exchange of
information. And thanks to Dick for the pictures. My sisters
probably know more “dirt” on Richard Henry Johnson than I cause about
four of the Fassett girls were closer to his age than I. I am sure
they could tell some tales. Susan

Joke of the day
Posted by Don Malaterre (’72): Sioux Falls, SD
Two men ran out to the course for a quick nine after work. They get to the tee and see two ladies playing ahead of them.
One of the men complains that the ladies will slow them down and says he is going to ask if they can play through. He goes halfway to the ladies and turns back.
The other man asked what was wrong. The man said, “I can’t go up there that’s my wife and my mistress.”
So the other man says he will go. He goes halfway and comes back. His partner asked what happened and the man replied, “Small world, huh?”
