Cliff Johnson, Dick’s uncle, Passed away

Message from Dick Johnson (’68): Dunseith, ND

Gary and Friends,

I regret to have to inform the blog readers of the passing of my
dad’s brother, Cliff Johnson. He was in the class of ’51 at DHS but
finished his high school in Towner , ND. Many of the DHS alumni will
remember Cliff as he was an all around kind of guy with lots of friends
in the area. He had just turned 80 in March while he was fighting
cancer that finally claimed his life. Cliff was married to Joy Nordquist
who was in the class of ’55 at DHS. She actually graduated from Langdon
High School but returned to work at Security State Bank in Dunseith.�
They were married in 1960. I will enclose Joy’s address for those who
might want to send a card. Thanks Gary.

Joy Johnson
27244 Old Hwy 93

Dick

Dick, Our condolences are with you, Joy and all of Cliff’s family with his passing. Gary

Dalbec Family Memories

From Neola Kofoid Garbe: Bottineau & Minot, ND

Hi Gary,

I was saddened to read Alice Hiatt Dalbec passed away. Thanks to Gene for sending her obituary to you (I’ll also send an email to Gene.)

I’ve mentioned before the Harold Hiatt, Stanley Dalbec, John Kofoid families were neighbors in the north part of Bottineau in the 1940’s. We lived in the house where Don Rude now lives. Stanley/Alice lived “kitty corner” (SW) from us (Leonard Bergeron’s later lived in that house. The house was either moved/torn down MANY years ago, and a double-wide trailer was moved onto the lot. At one time, Oscar/Yvette Boucher Tennancour Brunsell (Brunsell, Oscar & Yvette Boucher Tennancour 536) lived there, as did Ray/Maida Korman from Kramer–can’t remember which couple lived there first. The Houle family lived west of Dalbec’s (on the corner), Harold/Gladys lived south of Houle’s in the “barn-shaped house. Wilma Kofoid’s (Fred Kofoid) mother, Mrs. Bosch, lived in this house many years later. SO, Hiatt’s/Dalbec’s/Kofoid’s were friends and neighbors years ago. Mom and Dad had been friends with Harold, Gladys, Alice, and Stanley since before any of them were married. (Feel free to delete any “history” I’ve written, Gary–it gets a little long. LOL)

The preceding is a little history to send along with this picture of the Hiatt/Dalbec/Kofoid “kids”. Myrna and Ginger were Harold/Gladys’ girls (both are deceased). Ronald, Marvel, Keith are/were (Keith) Stanley/Alice’s children. As you can see in the picture, I was quite “lady-like” already back then. LOL! I’m so embarrassed about the way I’m sitting, “squeezing” poor Ronald so he almost can’t be seen. Uff da! However, that’s the way it was.
