Blog Hosting support refund
Reply form LeaRae Parrill Espe (’67):  Bottineau, ND
Gary, I would like to help with the cost of that restore of the site.  I am sure others would also.  Please publish the address so all of us know where to send to help out.  Thanks  for your dedication to our wonderful blog.  It was great to see you and Bernadette. Sorry I didn’t get to say a formal goodbye.  I missed you by a few minutes at the bakery that morning,  Give Bernadette our best wishes for her health.  LeaRae Parrill Espe ’67
Hello LeaRae,
We so much enjoyed seeing you and Terry, numerous times, with our stay in the area for the whole month of July.  We’d see you most every morning at the Bakery when you were with your group of gal friends.
Thank you so much for your very kind offer. I posted the blog info for informational purposes only. With that posting I was hoping folks would not think I was soliciting funds. As it turned out, as stated in the Support Staff Response below, we are past the window for a sight restoration, so they have refunded the money.
We are back to square one again. I do not have a back-up stored in my computer either. I sent an email to our site support staff asking for guidance as to how to browse and view malware in our site. They walked me through one procedure over the phone to find and erase one malware entry on our site. I have forgotten all the steps.

Creamery Stories
From Dick Johnson (’68):  Dunseith, ND
Gary and Friends,Vickie’s story about the creameries reminded me of a few old
memories.  When we lived in town,  I would walk or ride bike uptown
every day and went up the alley behind the creamery.  If I was walking,
many times I stopped in and said hello to Floyd Dion and then stepped on
the huge dial scale they weighed the cream cans on. In those days I
wanted to be heavier and taller so it would look better on the sports
programs we had at school.  My,  how things have changed! I remember
once when Jim Hanson was working there in the ’60s,  he had his ’57 Ford
Fairlane jacked up behind the creamery and had the rear tires off.  He
had them laying flat on the ground and was painting wide white walls on
them.  I was interested in cars and hadn’t ever seen that done before.
I said,  “I didn’t know that could be done?”  Jim got a big grin on his
face and said, “I don’t know if it can be done but I did it anyway.”
Then he started laughing.  After that ,  he put a long sleek set of
‘Fox-Craft’ fender skirts on the Ford and she looked cool!  I think it
was blue and white and the back end had been lowered so it looked even
more cool. A  few years later I had a brown and yellow ’57 Fairlane just
like it.  In the fall of ’67, I bought the car from Jay Lamoureux for
all my summers wages which I saved like a miser for a car.  I asked him
how much he would take and he said,  “The least I would go is $250.”  I
had $240 from all summer so I thought I was done and I wanted the car
bad.  He could read my face I’m sure and he asked how much I had?  I
told him I had $240 and that was all I had.  He told me to write the check!

Another Dunseith creamery story I have is when I worked at
Lamoureux Bros. Ford Garage in the early ’70s.  Minnie Alvin had her
cream station right across the street from the garage and for a while I
did the bulk fuel hauling for Lamoureux’s.  They told me that Minnie was
too worried about running out of fuel and would call REAL often.  I
didn’t think that should be such a big deal.  That was until I was the
driver of the bulk truck.  Every time a few snow flakes flew,  the phone
would ring and Minnie would say we better check her fuel tank as she
might run out.  I was over there ALL the time and the tank was always
nearly full and it held 265 gallons. In that tiny cream station that was
enough for most of the winter.  I told Jay that this was crazy but he
just laughed and said it was just not going to change so just go over
there and bang around on the tank a little so that she hears it and that
satisfies her. That’s what I did–MANY times.  Just another old memory
of old Dunseith.  Thanks Gary!

Rose and Art Hagen
Folks,
Last week Art had a farm mishap and broke his left leg in the ankle area. He will find out on September 9th if he needs to have surgery. If not, then he will be coming to Cebu ASAP.
Rose recently returned from Switzerland where she spent over a month visiting her daughter.  Prior to that she spent a month visiting her Son in Australia. Both of her kids have good jobs in their respective countries.
We will see Rose tomorrow at bowling. She recently changed her FB profile picture to the one pasted below. I thought it was a very nice picture to share with you folks.

Curt Hahn
We had the pleasure of running into Curt Hahn in the Bottineau Bakery. Curt lives a mile or two east of Lake Metigoshe, just off of Highway 43 to the north, across the road from the Alfred Rude farm.
Curt is retired from the REA (Rural Electrical Association). Both he and his brother Gordon worked for the REA for many years. Gordon was married to my first cousin, Alice Petterson Hahn.
