Plans to visit the States this coming summer.
 
Folks,
 
Bernadette and I are planning a trip back to the states this coming summer. We have reservations on hold departing Cebu on June 25th and returning on August 12th. Those are the dates that I think we will be locking in. We plan on spending the whole month of July and a few days of August in North Dakota. From Cebu we’ll be flying into Seattle. We haven’t decided yet if we’ll fly or drive from Seattle back to ND. We’ll be staying with my brother Darrel (Bud) and Debby in Bottineau.

Gary and Friends,

      Diane,  I admit I told the blond joke to Larry Hackman but I
intentionally left your name out.  He must have figured that out by
himself.  Sorry.

     My grandmother started about 80 years ago to write down the day
each spring that the ice would finally be completely gone from Horseshoe
Lake.  We have watched this for every year since and the average date
has been April 17.  It has varied a few times by a couple days one way
or the other.  Right now we have about 3 feet of ice and around a foot
of snow on top of that.  Unless the temperature goes to record highs in
the next few days and stays that way,  we will probably have ice on the
lake until late in May.  This is one of the coldest springs I can ever
remember.  So much for global warming.  This morning we got another 3-4
inches of snow which kind of adds insult to injury.  Thanks Gary!

Dick

Reply to Joan LaCroix’s picture.  I think the Barbara is Barbara Allery.  Barbara Landsverk is also a classmate, but a true blonde Norwegian.  LeaRae

     Gary,  I think the names on the picture of the class of ’67 girls
are correct but the back row is right to left.  Nora Azure is on the far
right, then Mary Anderson, Linda Walter, Kay Flynn,  and the far left
might be Barbara Allery.  Front left side with the checkered coat is
Sharon Tooke,  Karen Davis, LeaRae Parrill, Beth Fauske, and Patsy Medrud.
 

 
 
Joke of the day
Posted by Mel Kuhn (’70):  St. John, ND

 Â
   A clearly inebriated woman, stark naked, jumped into a taxi in Fargo and laid down on the back seat.

 
Ole the cab driver, opened his eyes wide and stared at the woman. He made no attempt to start the cab.
Â
The woman glared back at him and said, “What’s wrong with you, honey? – Haven’t you ever seen a naked woman before?”
Â
Ole answered, “Let me tell you sumsing, lady – I vasn’t staring at you like you tink; det vould not be proper vair I come from.”
Â
The drunk woman giggled and responded, “Well, if you’re not staring at my boobs or butt sweetie, what are you doing then?”
Â
Ole paused a moment, then told her…”Vell, M’am, I am looking and I am looking, and I am tinking to myself,’Vair in da hell is dis lady keeping de money to pay for dis ride?
