Gary, I received an e-mail from Alan Poitra saying that Joni (Lamoureux) Blassingame passed away on April 25th. I just want to send my condolences to her family.
I was thinking of her on Mother’s Day. She was always a good friend, and I will miss her.

Thank you Dianne for letting us know of Joni’s passing. She was much to young to be leaving us too.
I was able to find her death notice and obituary on line pasted below.
Our condolences are with her family.

Hi Gary,
Could you please add my sister to the list for this blog? We are sisters of Jim Mellmer (’72) and Connie Mellmer Krusinski (’68). Her name is Lynette Mellmer Norbeck, and she would’ve graduated in 1979 had we not moved to Bismarck in 1972. Her email address is lnorbeck@ Thanks for the great job you do with this – we appreciate and enjoy it very much!
Patti Mellmer Weisbeck (’78)

Patti,
I have added Lynette to our distribution. Thank you so much for including her.

Here is a picture of my wonderful brother in law, Jack. The suspect is in custody and has $1,000,000 bond so he isn’t going anywhere. They expect more arrests and the investigation is ongoing. The funeral will be Monday at 11am in Williston, ND at First Lutheran Church. Everson Funeral home is in charge. We will bury Jack next to his mother in Makoti later in the day. We are very appreciative of all the love and support shown by everyone. This tragedy makes no sense as Jack was a funny, kind, loving human being. I have attached a couple of picture of him. Keep us in your prayers everyone.
Diane
