If you don’t see your message or if you have not gotten a reply from me, then I have not seen your message. You can use anyone of my 3 email addresses to send messages.

When I called Marsha Getzlaff Bakken, putting the class list of 74 together, she mention that Mrs. Bakken had been a school teacher in Dunseith. Marsha gave me her phone number, so I called her. Mrs. Bakken was hired at Dunseith in 1968. She taught 2 years at Dunseith followed with another 3 years teaching at Belcourt. She taught 8th grade English. Her husband was the pastor of the Lutheran church in Dunseith.
Talking with Ardys, she told me that she has remained in communication with a lot of the Dunseith folks over the years. She mentioned a lot of you folks that are on this distribution list and she especially remembers the folks from Pam Fugere’s class and that would have been the class of 73. Putting the math together, she would have had the class of 74 too, the following year. Gary

Hi, Ask Debbie and Bev Morinville if they remember making “mud pies” out side of the city hall when we met some real rock band members. We grew up withing sec.s and tried to push our pies aside. I never made the concert because my Grandmother, Amy Bradford, would not let me out. I heard that they had an wonderful time. Susan Johnson
What beautiful children. If only we could compare the best of times to today, They may have more opp. and be beyond us, but do to the whole package, we win. S malaterre

Gary,
It’s really enjoyable reading all your emails about Dunseith and the input from fellow alumni of DHS. A big kudo to you for getting this started and keeping it going. Please continue it.

Now, a response to a couple of recent inputs.
First to Mr. Allen Richard.
I don’t remember you, and you probably don’t remember me. However, as a fellow alumni, it sounds like you’ve done well. Congratulations.
I don’t personally share your reverence for Mr. William Jefferson Clinton and quite possibly don’t share your views on politics in general. (I happen to believe “global warming,” gas prices and our economy would be pretty much the same today regardless of who is sitting in the White House!) But, one of the things my dearly departed mother used to tell my siblings and I when we were young, was that the quickest way to ruin a good relationship was to start discussing “politics” or religion.” With many years of living behind me and upon reflection of that lifetime, I have to agree with her. So please, with all due respect, lets not make this a political forum and ruin a good thing.
To Russell and Glenda Fauske.
Do you have any photos of the “Fauske Fiddlers” you are willing to share with all? I’ve had the pleasure of hearing you and your sons play a couple of times and really enjoyed it.

GARY STOKES:
THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT COVERAGE OFTHE ALUMNI OF DHS, AND THE SURROUNDING AREA.
I TOO AM A FORMER RESIDENT AND STUDENT AT DHS, BUT I WOULD HAVE GRADUATED IN 1944, ALONG WITH MY COUSIN HOWARD, HAD I REMAINED IN NORTH DAKOTA, BUT MY FAMILY MOVED TO WISCONSIN IN 1943, SO I COMPLETED MY LAST YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL IN WISCONSIN.
HOWEVER I HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN OR FAILED TO RETURN FROM TIME TO TIME TO THAT WONDERFUL PART OF THE COUNTRY, AS A MATTER OF FACT I WAS PRESENT AT THE LAST ALL SCHOOL REUNION IN 2007, AND HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE. IN ORDER THAT YOU MIGHT KNOW THE EXTENT OF MY REGARD FOR NORTH DAKOTA, I HAVE TAKEN THE LIBERTY OF ATTACHING A LETTER THAT I SENT TO NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, CONCERNING AN ARTICLE THEY PRINTED IN THE JANUARY ISSUE ON PAGE 140. I HOPE THAT I GET A CHANCE TO MEET YOU, BUT AS MIGHT EXPECT, I AM IN MY EIGHTIES, ANDI HAVE REASONABLE HEALTH, BUT ITS A LITTLE TOUGHER TO GET AROUND THAN IT USED TO BE.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE GREAT E MAIL
KINDEST REGARD

Dicks recollection of my baseball incident jarred my memory (not quite as
much as the ball did). The only 2 things that I remember about that, was
when they were hauling me back to my house, when I came to, I heard
Carmen Meyers tell them to push my eye back in as it was falling out (not
a good thought to wake up to) and the nurse asking me if I was trying to
be another Mickey Rooney (I think she may have meant Mickey Mantel) but
then again she may have seen me play ball and the Mickey Rooney thing
was probably closer.
I also got hit in that same lot by the Catholic church by a golf ball
hit by Mark Schimitz. I must have been a good target.

HEY–Dick Johnson: wow 58 chev with 348, that was big and a baby to the 409 for seventy seven dollars you stole that son of a@@##HHHtch. Still had that car, worth big bucks. When I left Dunseith I had traded my 58 Pontiac with Joe Speath as the salesman for Theels for a 60 Impala 2 dr ht and Billy Satrang bought the the Pontiac and when I got to Rugby the little chev wasn’t fast enough so I traded for a 63 SS 409 which held its grounds until the muscle cars became the power so I retired the 409 and went top dog. Today the 409 is worth about thirty to forty grand. make a long story short seventy seven dollars wasn’t a bad investment. I think Bobby Peterson. Sharons brother ended up with my 60 Impala. Happy Day everyone.———-Dave Wurgler

Dave, I just had to comment on the Star Chief I bet that baby screamed!!
See!, I had a 57 Pontiac Star Chief, with a 347 ci. 4bbl carb and 4 speed automatic transmission, and as you said it wasn’t slow shifting after the rpms came on, Best car I ever had, heater cores under the seat, windows wouldn’t even frost windows on the coldest winter days,,,,,, but that was kind of embarrassing sometimes.![Auto emoticon]( "Auto emoticon")
![Eye-rolling smiley emoticon]( "Eye-rolling smiley emoticon")
I had Gary Pigeon work the engine and tune it. The ribbon would run out of room as it turned red across the speed-o-meter, and was still climbing. Imagine, on F78 bias ply tires. ![Auto emoticon]( "Auto emoticon")
I missed the purchase of two of them one a 4dr. the other a 2 door,, by hours.
I have had GTX’s, Roadrunners, Impala’s SS models, 4 Pontiacs, and more but that 57 Starchief was always my favorite of them all. It was a 4dr hdtp and I traded a 60 Chevy impala convertible to Lawrence (junior) Hettle for the Starchief. I saw and visited with him and his brothers for several hours after his mothers funeral. I told him I would trade him again the same way. He said he would take the same trade again, I don’t think anyone could have been happier about a trade of vehicle.
