Catholic Cemetery – From Joan Tremblay Johnson (79): 
Hello Gary,
   I want to begin with a big Hip Hip Horray for you and the work you’ve taken on with these daily emails.  I know from the word around town that I am not the only one who enjoys them here in Dunseith.  You have developed quite a following.
   I’m writing because I have not noticed an update from us Catholics about a contact person for St.  Louis Cemetery.  The contact person is Floyd Dion and the mailing address for this purpose is PO Box 186  Dunseith, ND   58329.  As Floyd put it all the cemeteries around here are in definite need of  monetary assistance to help with upkeep and any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks again for passing this along.
  Also,  no big deal but if you ever get in to edit the class lists my  last name is spelled incorrectly.  It is Tremblay.  As I said it’s not that important.  There was always a problem with that name.  Probably why I stayed with Johnson after divorce….much simpler.
   Again I thank you for all you have done.  It seems to make the world just a little smaller and I really appreciate that.

Note: I will update the Cemetery list for the Dunseith area and sent it out in the near future.  Gary

Allen Richard’s (65) reply to John Bedard’s (65) School pictures:
Yes, if you make copies of those pictures I’d like one.  Put me on the list.  I wasn’t able to spend a lot of time around Dunseith last summer and I missed  a lot of things.  In fact my plans were so hurried that I didn’t register for the reunion–only our class.  Wish it would have worked differently.

Message & Pictures from Dick Johnson (68): 
Gary and FriendsLyle Olson, your mom was very deserving of that mandolin. She
was a great gal and we miss her!

The pictures I’m sending today are taken at Central School in
1947. Dad taught there that summer, I think. I talked with
Howard Abrahamson and he explained where the school was located
on the south side of Carpenter Lake. The kids and parents in
the pictures are probably some of the Brennans that lived close
by. If anyone can identify some of the people please do. Dad
told me that he and Floyd Lamb put in a new wood stove and Dad
brought the old stove down here to the farm. I remember it
sitting in the trees behind the barn for about 30 years. Dad
eventually restored it and put it in his basement. I still have
it! Thanks Gary!!

Dick
