Email address change for Marvel Hill Thompson (69): Bottineau, ND.
Gary,
It is great all you do, but for some odd reason I quit getting your emails. Could you please put my address back on. I did change emails August 1 but have been getting them until last week.
Thanks.
Marvel (Hill) Thompson
Class of 1969
My new address is:
Request from Randy Hiatt: North Bend, WA.
Gary, when you get back from your very interesting sounding trip please add Delmar Fugere (my first cousin, Lois (Hiatt) and Orelle Fugere’s son to the blog. Lois was my mothers (Delores Hiatt) sister.
Thanks,
Randy Hiatt
Delmar, with all the wonderful things folks have had to say about your mother with previous postings, it is my pleasure to add you to our distribution list. You certainly have a whole lot of relatives included with the distribution of these daily messages too. I found a listing for you living at Bonney Lake, WA. Would that be correct? I believe your dad is living up in Mason county west of Bremerton, WA. I lived in Bremerton for over 35 years. Gary
Jerome Allard’s picture
Posted by Neola Kofoid Garbe: Minot & Bottineau, ND.
Neola, Jerome Allard graduated with the DHS class of 1958. Arlene is his sister. Without doing some research, I don’t remember if their mother was one of the 5 cote sisters. If she was that would, I think, make her a double cousin to Carol, Mary & Larry Allard. I may be all hosed up with what I remember. Mel Kuhn and some of you others, please verify all this. I do know for a fact though that Jerome is married to Donna LaCroix (64). I remember his sister Corliss Allard (66) very well too. Gary

Message/Picture from Dick Johnson (68): Dunseith, ND.
Gary and Friends,
I ran across a picture that is obviously very old. It was actually a
postcard, which was common in the early to mid ’20s. People could have
their pictures printed in postcard form and then mail them to friends
easily. This was in with my grandparent’s pictures and several others
are postcards and are dated in this same time period. With the recent
loss of our friend Thurman Parrill, and LeaRae Parrill Espe’s many
contributions to this blog, this old picture might be of special
interest to her family. The hand written inscription on the back
says–‘Parrill’s barn in the Turtle Mountains’. Actually it
says–‘Parels barn in the Turtal Mountains’, but then some of my
ancestors weren’t the best at grammar and phonics! I can only assume it
is LeaRae’s grandparent’s barn, and before the death of her grandfather
when the family moved to Mountain, ND. I don’t know the exact dates but
I assume it was in the ’20s. Can you fill in the blanks LeaRae? Thanks Gary!Dick
Made out of sand on the beach – Boracay Island, Philippines
Dinner buffet at one of the Boracay Regency restaurants on the beach.
This buffet only cost $12.00 net with taxes and gratuities. The Breakfast
Buffet was free. Restaurant food is cheap on Boracay.

Me (Gary) on the Beach. Later on I did go swimming
Bernadette on the Beach. That water is as warm as heated bath tub water.
One of the 3 pools at the Boracay Regency. That is a bar in the lower right

later on in the
afternoon all the stools were taken.
