Pete & Verena Gillis and Earl Roland Photo
This picture was taken the Bottineau Bakery. This particular day Pete we ran into Pete and Verena Gillis at the Bottineau Bakery. We were pleasantly surprised to see them. They joined us at the long table for a fantastic visit. Pete is looking good too. I keep telling him he has the best nurse, Verena, in the whole world.
As we were sitting there I recognized Earl Roland sitting on the end of the table. I’d say the last time I saw him would have been about 40 years ago. When I asked him if he was Earl Roland, he looked at me kind of funny. I could tell he didn’t have any idea who I was. I said to him, “have I got the Earl Roland part right” and he said “yes” in a kind of who are you tone. When I told him, he was surprised, and definitely remembered me too. Following this, we ran into Earl serveral more times at the bakery with some good visits too. The guy with the red cap is Earl’s son.

Gary, The girl at the lower left surely appears to be my Aunt Lois (Dad and Leonard’s sister). I believe Leonard and LNor live in
Bis/Man.
Sharon Harmson is my cousin so Lois is also her Aunt.
Sharon’s Mother, Joy lives in Dunseith. Joy is a sister to Lois, Dad and, Leonard.
Joy would know in a “glance” if the “unidentified” was indeed Lois; however Joy has no computer?
{{Sharon and Gary}}: Hopefully the cc worked.

Hello Lee,Great to hear from you. It would be wonderful if Joy could see this Photo. Lois has been positively identified, but there are several others in question.Thanks Lee,Gary

Hi,
Here’s another old clipping. I must admit I had to read the caption/look carefully at the ladies in the picture a couple of times before I “figured it all out”. LOL.
As you can see, it’s Lydia Larshus/her daughter, Ruth Larshus Johnson Peterson/Ruth’s daughters Norma and Marjo/Norma and Marjo’s daughters and grandchildren.
Great great grandparents parents on “the Larshus side”: Larshus, Oscar & Lydia Larson 82
Great great grandparents on “the Johnson side”: Johnson, Victor & Clara Larson 80
Great great grandparents on “the Johnson side”: Johnson, Victor & Clara Larson 80
Great clipping, Norma.

Joke of the day
Posted by Rosemary Smith: smranch@srt.com Lake Metigoshe,
Ole is the Pastor of the local Norwegian Lutheran Church and Pastor Sven is
the minister of the Swedish Covenant Church across the road. One day they
are seen pounding a sign into the ground, which said:
DA END ISS NEAR!
TURN YERSELF AROUNT NOW
BAFOR IT ISS TOO LATE!
As a car speeds past them, the driver leans out his window and yells,
“Leave people alone, you Skandihoovian religious nuts!”
From the curve they heard screeching tires and a big splash.
Shakin’ his head, Rev. Ole says “Dat’s da terd one dis mornin’.”
“Yaa,” Pastor Sven agrees, then asks, “Do ya tink maybe da sign should yust
say, ‘Bridge Out?'”
