The following is in regard to the ad that Melvin Kuhn provided about the Chicago World Fair of 1893 (also known as the Columbian Exposition) which was mentioned in the original blog #35 and again in blog 1971. This advertising was also mentioned in the book described in the next sentence. I read a book recently about how Chicago was chosen over New York City for the site of the Fair. It also told about the people who designed and built the buildings, landscaped and maintained the grounds, the problems encountered during construction, and what went on during the actual Fair. Here is the title and author:
The Devil in the white city: murder, magic and madness at the fair that changed America by Erik Larson copywrite 2013

On the photo of the Edward and Matilda Boucher family it says Busher. The correct spelling is Boucher. I too would be very interested in hearing any information about our family. Carmen Richard may know).

Diane,
That was my spelling error. I know the correct spelling too. Not sure how that happened.

While looking through some old pictures the other evening, I
found a very odd coincidence. There was one taken of my
grandmother, Cynthia Johnson and my dad, Don Johnson in 1932. I
then found the one of Grandma and me from about 1992. She had
ridden with me in one of my cars, a 1933 Ford coupe, during one
of the Dunseith Days Parades. This was taken near Dale’s on the
corner. Same gal 60 years later, still getting her picture
taken with us by an old car!! She lived to be 89 and passed
away in 1998. Just thought this was kind of interesting.

well attended. Actually we played “Mr. Bojangles” for them as
they were going out. Ron Hett from Roba’s Coffee House played
with Brenda and me. He did a great job on the mandolin. Glen’s
nickname was “Bojangie”. We didn’t sing as the song is not
really a church song but the instrumental is nice. It was by
Susie’s request. Thanks again Gary!!
