Wonderful wonderful Tom and Dot,For this reunion reservations are not necessary. We have the whole room reserved for whoever shows up. Folks will be able to order meals from a select menu prepared for our group. Not knowing how many folks will be attending we could not do a buffet style dinner, so we decided to go with a menu of items that can be prepared when ordered. I will be getting a copy of the menu for posting too. Beverages and drinks will be readily available for purchase too. There will be nothing formal with this reunion. We will have sticky name tags for everyone though that you can write your name on when arriving. We will also have a guest book for folks to sign.Tom, what are the odds of Orvin being able to attend. Linda Gardner has offered to give him a ride to Bottineau from Fargo, but she will be in the area for only the first week of July. If Orvin is interested in attending, maybe we could find a ride for him with some of the folks from the Fargo area that may also be attending this reunion. Just a thought. We could celeberate his 92nd birthday too which is July 14th.Gary
I’d like to say a few words about Linda Fugere Wheeler. We were cousins who lived only 20 miles apart, but didn’t meet until we went to Minot State in our freshman year. Both of us applied for a theatre scholarship and the story goes that they couldn’t decide between the two Fugere girls, so they split the scholarship and offered us each half. I believe we met for the first time at the dinner where the scholarships were presented. But we were fortunate to do a lot of theatre work together the next few years, and much of that time we were inseparable. I will forever remember Linda’s irrepressible giggle and her love for red roses.
Linda had the ability to radiate happiness and light up a room, something we should all aspire to. Her love for Bill, her “Prince Charming,” for theatre, and for all her family made her positively glow when she spoke of them. She will always be missed.
