Reply to the Bottineau HS Graduates with Dunseith connections
From Phyllis McKay (’65):  Auburn, WA

Hi Gary,

Crystal Jean McKay is my brother Jay’s granddaughter. My brother Jay is the fourth oldest in my family. Jay graduated from Bottineau as did his son Damon, father to Crystal. Jay is a woodworker. He spends time in Texas with his daughter in the winter where he has set up a saw mill. He milled lumber from his daughter’s place and created a beautiful Hope chest for Crystal as a graduation gift. His wife Janice Hahn has passed away but she made many afghans. When Jay gave Crystal the Hope chest, he included one of the afghans that his wife had made.  Crystal has been an outstanding student. She has maintained a high grade point average while working two jobs. She works at the Spectrum and the Creamery.  We are all very proud of her.

WRONG E-MAIL ADDRESS

This one is priceless…

A lesson to be learned from typing the wrong email address !

A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter.
They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier.

Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules.

So, the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday,
with his wife flying down the following day.
The husband checked into the hotel.
There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an e mail to his wife.
However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address,
and without realizing his error, sent the e-mail.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston ,

a widow had just returned home from her husband’s funeral.
He was a minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack.

The widow decided to check her e-mail expecting messages from relatives and friends.

After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted.

The widow’s son rushed into the room,
found his mother on the floor,
and saw the computer screen which read:

To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I’ve Arrived
Date: March 19, 2009


I know you’re surprised to hear from me.
They have computers here now and,
you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones.
I’ve just arrived and have been checked in.

I’ve seen that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing you then !
Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.

P. S.: Sure is freaking hot down here !
