Frozen Fingers Music Festival in Minot
Message from Dick Johnson (’68): Dunseith, ND
Message from Dick Johnson (’68): Dunseith, ND
Gary and Friends,
.
This weekend is the annual Frozen Fingers Music Festival in Minot
at the Sleep Inn Convention Center. It always is a good warm place to
be on a cold North Dakota day although this weekend is predicted to be
warmer than it has been for some time. Lots of good music groups
performing throughout the two days. Saturday is the main day and Friday
we are having up and coming local groups and performers and also a group
of young cloggers performing throughout the afternoon. There is an
evening meal and a dance following that. I just thought some of the
readers might be interested. Thanks Gary!
Dick

Qustion
From Rosemary (Wayne ’61) Smith: Lake Metigoshe, ND
I hope you had a chnce to see the skater (mens) from the Philippines. 17 years old & learned from tv and a once or twice a year pro. He had a wonderful skate. Rosemary.
Dave Sandness, who lives here in Cebu, posted this on his FB page. As he states, the Olympic games have not been Televised here here in Cebu.We have more than 100 cable tv channels here and NONE carry the Sochi Olympic Games. Why? Many of our channels are devoted to sports including golf, boxing, basket ball, soccer, cricket, horse racing, cock fighting, etc. The only athlete in the current Olympics from the Philippines is a figure skater. Ice in the tropics?

(1955-1956) Dunseith Alumni
Posted by Larry Liere (1955) Devils Lake, ND & Mesa, AZ
The picture sent in by Bob Hosmer. I am standing (3rd. from the left) between Barry Shelver and Bob Hosmer
two guys that were friends when I lived in Dunseith. Barry and I were in the same grade and graduated
in 1955. If I remember correctly Bob Hosmer was a year younger and would have graduated in 1956.
The three of us played together a lot before I moved to Devils Lake in 3rd grade. (a sad day in my life
back then) Can any of you name the rest of the people and give their graduation date as 55 or 56??

Susan Kay Martin In this article the Dunseith team is called the Independents. When did the Dragons come to be??
-
Dennis Dubois the independents were a basketball team made of men who had already graduated or were no longer in school. Many of these guys had played high school ball as the Dragons. We still had an independent basketball team when I was in High school.
-
Glen Williams they had great “Independent” teams in those days.. Les was a Customs agent and great BB player

Happy Valentines day Bernadette,
Novie and Mirasol took and posted this picture on Face Book this morning.
Bernadette is feeling much better today. Our friends have invited us along with other friends to the Casino Espanol, a private club, for Valentines dinner this evening. Bernadette, I think, is feeling well enough to go. That wasn’t the case yesterday, but she is doing much better today.

Vickie Hiatt LaFontaine’s (73) Condolences to the Alice (Evans) Berube family:
To the children of Alice Berube, my thoughts and prayers are with you this
morning. In the fall of 1999 we buried both our parents 4 weeks apart and
I still ache for them some days more so then others. I just wanted to share
a story with you about your mom. I never knew your mom very well, but @ a
bowling tournament in Minot one year moms team was @ the state tournament
bowling for their sponsor Wayne’s Jack and Jill. They were to bowl early
shift and as always Irene and her daughters were late. Alice was so
concerned about mom because she was diabetic and they knew she needed to
eat. They made sure she had fruit or some thing. I was so pleased to see
the love these ladies had for her. I made comment about her babysitters and
mom just smiled and said “oh they are so good to me”. After that I had a
real soft spot for all the ladies on that team. Vickie Hiatt LaFontaine 73

Dick Johnson’s (68) reply to Susan Fassett (65) and Bill Hosmer (48):
Gary and friendsThanks to Susan Fassett Martin for the correct story on the
triple anniversary. You guys don’t know of the extent of
collecting of pictures and articles and memories the Fassett
girls and their parents and Grandma Kate have done! When Susan
came to the reunion this past summer, she had the back of her
suv full of scrapbooks, pictures, etc. We spent a couple hours
at the drivein looking at scrapbooks, when I was supposed to be
home working! It was well worth the time, as I can’t get enough
of the history of our area. Many years ago at Kate’s, I read
her scrapbook containing the stories on the blizzard of 1941.
Many people lost there lives. Some were local.She had the
articles from most of the papers and magazines that had printed
it. Amazing to me!
To Bill Hosmer; we would be glad to take a look at your song.
We do Ghost Riders in the Sky already so this should work out.
Our lead guitar player, Jade Mogard, has the instrumental solo
down great. There will be no cost, we usually do these things
for the fun WE have and if others enjoy it that is a bonus.
Send us what you have and we’ll give it a whirl!!
Thanks again to Gary Stokes, great thing!

From LeaRae Parrill Espe (67):
I just talked to Floyd Pladson and his wife is the treasurer.
If anyone wants to donate to the Rendahl Cemetery it could be sent to:
Pat Pladson
9540 Hwy 60
Bottineau, ND 58318
Bob Bott and his family have been in charge of the mowing and upkeep for a number of years. Volunteers meet in May to do a general cleanup before Memorial Day. Donations are appreciated.
My sister in law, Nora Parrill, is planning to get a sign made for out on the Willow Lake Road.
There is a small one, but she missed it the day we buried Clark.
Thanks, LeaRae Parrill Espe
