Hi Gary!

jeanmarie

Folks, I had a wonderful visit with Jeanmarie this morning. She has been on dialysis for a few months now. Things have been pretty rough for her the last while. She has been struggling, but she is hanging in there. She has lost about a third of her body weight and she was not heavy to begin with. She currently weighs about 100 lbs. She can be reached at her email address listed above. For those of you wishing to call her, please let me know so I can give you her phone number. I know she’d love to hear from some of you folks. She mentioned she had just talked to her mother a short time before I called.

Jeanmarie, Now that you have a computer, I have you back on our distribution list. Please keep us posted with your situation. Hang in there, you are on the upswing now. Gary

Reply from Florence Pladson Sime: Dunseith, ND

Gary, in response to my brother talking about my brother David. We were snowed in so our aunt Adeline Olson met dad at the main road and took my mother and David to Botno. They got to doctor Malveys office and Adeline went in and the doctor came out to the car and he told them to get David to the hospital and he died in route. He had pnemonia and there was 3 more of us that had it.

Florence, As I remember you guys were living on the Zieman place west of Salem Church up in the hills when David died. Those were some mighty tough years for you guys. Adeline Pladson Olson was your Dad’s sister. Gary

Question from Lois Tweten: Helena MT

Hi Gary,

You certainly have a lot of wonderful information! Thanks to you and Bev Morinville Azure for adding me to your list/blog even tho I don’t know many folk.

But…I do have a question. In the 40’s 1942-49 when I lived on Ohmer street – a block North on the East side of the hospital…two houses to the North, on the corner, Johnnie and I played with Smallie Houle…Do you know who that is now? Maybe you do Neola?

We played with Dennis Langehoud, Billy Sauscer (spelling is all wrong). But after my Dad, Kenneth Tweten died, and Mom married Harold Skjervem we moved away and then I’ve lost touch with so many until this Dunseith blog.

Thanks for any information…
