Greetings to Gary and Dunseith Alumni friends from Chi Chi (Evenson) Olson ’68
Posted by Vickie Metcalfe (’70): Bottineau, ND.
Chi Chi is looking forward to attending the July 2013 gathering of Dunseith Alumni and friends.
Aside from that,
Chi Chi is a proud grandmother of Amanda Pedie.
On Friday, May 10, 2013, she will be a Wapheton (NDSCS) graduate.
Chi Chi said,
“Amanda has worked full time and part time jobs to put herself through college.
Amanda is choosing to begin her automotive career here in Bottineau.
D & B Auto has employed Amanda all through college.
She has worked hard through summer, winter and spring breaks to achieve her goal.
If your car gets construction ding or a scratch on your vehicle this summer see Amanda.”
How many can say their granddaughter has a career in autobody?
Congratulations Amanda and proud grandma Chi Chi!
P.S. I’ve seen Amanda’s creativity since she was in elementary school.
How cool is that!
Later, Vickie

FOUR RETIREES VISIT A BAR
Four old retired men are walking down a street in Fountain Hills, Arizona
They turn a corner and see a sign that says, “Old Timers Bar – ALL drinks
10 cents.”
They look at each other and then go in, thinking this is too good to be true.
The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room, “Come on in and let me pour one for you! What’ll it be, gentlemen?”
There’s a fully stocked bar, so each of the men orders a martini.
In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken, not stirred
and says, “That’ll be 10 cents each, please.”
The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment, then at each other.
They can’t believe their good luck.
They pay the 40 cents, finish their martinis, and order another round.
Again, four excellent martinis are produced, with the bartender again
saying, “That’s 40 cents, please.”
They pay the 40 cents, but their curiosity gets the better of them.
They’ve each had two martinis and haven’t even spent a dollar yet.
Finally one of them says, “How can you afford to serve martinis as good as
these for a dime apiece?”
“I’m a retired tailor from Phoenix ,” the bartender says, “and I always
wanted to own a bar. Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million
and decided to open a place out here. Every drink costs a dime. Wine, liquor, beer it’s all the same.”
“Wow! That’s some story!” one of the men says.
As the four of them sip at their martinis, they can’t help noticing seven
other people at the end of the bar who don’t have any drinks in front of
them and haven’t ordered anything the whole time they’ve been there
Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar, one of the men asks the
Bartender, “What’s with them?”
The bartender says, “They’re retired people from North Dakota. They’re waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price, plus they all have coupons…”
