Thank you for adding me to your distribution list – after talking with Shirley yesterday – I found my 1947 “Wahoo” year book – and had a great time reading the comments from Dunseith friends and classmates – brought back a whole lot of memories!

My sophomore year of high school was the only year I went to High School in Dunseith – although I, of course, attended the first eight     years of grade school there.  And spent summers in Dunseith.

Thanks again.   Betty Lamoureux Malone Badgett    (I was married twice).

Gary- 

Please put me on your email list.  I graduated from Dunseith in 1979.  My
mother was Loraine Somers and I see that some of the attachments are of her
singing. I would love to receive some of her songs.

Thanks

Gary,

To Allen Richard and others who attended Notre Dame Academy in
Willow City. 

Allen, when I read the message from you about Notre Dame
Academy in Willow City and Sister Albert, I thought you would
want to be updated on your grade school teacher, Sister Albert.
Sister Albert Marie ( Helen Burkhartsmeier ) is my wife’s
great Aunt.  I am sure you remember her calling you “sugar
lump, sweetie pie, honey bunch”.  She was still saying those
words when she was 70 and planning to retire.  I know she
enjoyed teaching the younger grades, especially if you spoke
French with her.  When Sister Albert heard of your
accomplishments, she would always beam.  She was very proud of
all of you.

Sister Albert taught in Walhalla following her time in Willow
City and completed teaching in Valley City, North Dakota.
Sister Albert loved her students and touched many lives in
North Dakota.  Crystal Fassett Anderson and other people living
in the Northeastern part of the state may hear Sister Albert
mentioned also.  Sister Albert presently lives at Maryvale
Convent just north of Valley City.  Sister Albert is in her mid
90′s and has lost most of her interest in eating.  I hope you
will keep Sister Albert Marie in your thoughts and prayers.

Thanks Ginger and Shirley for the kind words.  Id be interested to know the name of that cousin, Ginger,  if you remember — I probably know him (or at least have heard of him).  And if you ever make it back to Santa Fe, give me a call.

Crystal and Susan — I always enjoy your photographs.  I remember going to a few of those baseball games (could be because some of my girlfriends and I liked watching Duane Fugere being athletic…….we thought he was pretty cute).

Gary…..thanks for your interest.  Here are a couple of photos of
the models that I built and proposed.  The proposal also includes a
lot of written statement stuff that I won’t bore you with.  There
will be 27 to 30 carved granite fish (representing Rio Grande
Cutthroat Trout) each  2ft. High x 31/2 to 4ft. Long, .  Each fish
will be installed with  a concrete footing and they will be arranged
to simulate flowing water…….a stream or river. 

I’ll send you a photo of the finished piece if I manage to live
through this project.
