From Dick Johnson (68): Dunseith, ND
 
Gary and Friends,

Just a few memories of Lincoln Jerstad. He was our superintendent and
also had an afternoon study hall. I will never forget how he started
each and every study hall period—“Alright, let’s all get down to some
good hard work!” He was a ‘no nonsense’ guy and meant what he said.
After I graduated and then went to college in Bottineau, I guess I
thought Mr. Jerstad would always be in Dunseith. When I got to UND-
Grand Forks, I heard that he had become part of the faculty there
working with a program called ‘ Northern Plains Indian Teacher Corps ‘.
I had classes several days each week in the same building where he had
his office so I stopped by and talked with him on occasion. He was
knowledgeable about general university issues and advised me on how to
make things work to my advantage. Of course we had to talk about
Dunseith and what was going on back home. I don’t remember when he moved
to Fargo but it had to be after ’72, I think, because he was there when
I graduated I’m quite sure. Some DHS graduates were in the NPITC program
at UND and received teaching degrees. I wasn’t involved with this
program and have no idea how it functioned, just that Lincoln Jerstad
was involved with it. Thanks Gary!

Dick

Gary, I thought this would make a lot of people smile. We had such a big confirmation class that year,that we held our services in the Dunseith High School gym. We were certainly an “angelic” looking crew, but the stories we could tell !! Crystal Fassett Andersen
