No Blog yesterday
For General info I did not get a blog posted yesterday. Bernadette had a Manicure, Pedicure and her hair styled last night at the mall. We closed the mall, so by the time we got home it was too late to get a blog out. Today we went back to another mall and got home an hour or so earlier than last night. It is getting kind of late, so I am going with what I have. I didn’t want to go two days in a row without a posting.
When Bernadette was in the beauty salon, I walked the mall. With my passing the Salon, at one point there were 5 operators working on Bernadette. One on each limb with her manicure/pedicure and another one working on her hair, plus her niece, Novie, who accompanies her, sitting on the sideline. They say only in the Philippines. They like to gather and chat too. Of coarse Bernadette gave them all a tip too.

Just want you to know how many people from Dunseith and probably many Not from Dunseith are
enjoying your Blogs. Each day I look forward to seeing them pop up and hearing about people
out of my past and where they are and what they are doing.
We were fortunate to take a trip back to North Dakota last summer and my cousin Bob Leonard
showed us many of the old places, including where the Lilleby’s farmed and the Peace Garden
ending with dinner at Dales with Johnny & Lowell and their wifes. It brought back so many memories.
The Egbert brothers in the threshing picture were my grandfather Adrian’s brothers and was taken
a few years before I was born.
I am so sorry to hear the trials that Bernadette is going through now. It is wonderful that you have
so many wonderful friends that are a big support to you both during this trying time.
My prayers for her complete recovery are with you both.

Reply from Allen Rude (BHS ’69): Watertown, SD.
I have been receiving copies of your email chains from Chuck Carboneau for the last year and thoroughly enjoy them, I can’t believe how many times I and the Rude family has been in the thread. I have recognized so many people from our past from the Turtle Mountains from the emails. I have lived in Watertown,SD for the last 27 years and many next to Chuck and Sherry Carboneau so the Hills loop is continued. I am from the BHS 1969 class and closest to your brother,Bud and visit at Christmas when at home. I am closing in on my last year of full employment as a civil engineer with a precast concrete company for 40 years responsible for business in South Dakota. It has been very rewarding but corporate world is getting old and Chuck has been needing a daily ice fishing partner and he has been patient.
The miracle of the computer has sure made the world smaller as I know where you hale from, thanks for being involved to keep many ND people in the loop,
I remain, Allen Rude
Folks,It is a small world. I replied to Allen with a personal message.For general info, Allen is Virgil Rude’s brother. Virgil has been mentioned various times with our postings and with several of his own postings too. Allen and Virgil’s Parents were Alfred and Viola Bjornseth Rude. LaVerne, Glen and Arliss Rude are Allen and Virgil’s double first cousins. Allen graduated from Bottineau in 1969. Rod Hiatt, I believe that was your class too.I remember Allen so well from our childhood days. As I mentioned to him, the Rude’s, Bergan’s and Stokes’ were pretty close in those days. We were together, often times, multiple times, each week. We were one big happy family. I have not seen Allen since 1965. That is 48 years ago.Allen, it was such a pleasant surprise hearing from you. We now have you on our distribution too.GaryMarch 13,1961
