Gary and Friends,
Bill Hosmer’s story about the pool table from Kadry’s to his dad, Jack,
etc, reminded me of a story my dad told me about that same table. I
remember being at Jack and Inie’s once and Jack took me in the basement
to show me some old military handguns he had hanging on the wall. The
walls were pine car siding and were varnished beautifully and held some
very nice handguns. The pool table was in the center of that same room.
When I told Dad about the guns and the pool table, he said that Don
Hosmer was one of the best pool players around the area. Probably the
best he had ever seen! Well, several years later I was at Kelvin when
Don and Glen Shelver and Jerome Thompson came in after golfing in
Boissevain. Two younger Canadians were playing pool and Don went over
and asked if he could play the winner? The golfers were a bit tipsy from
the clubhouse socializing and it showed! Don had his hat on a bit
crooked and his shirt half out, so the young Canucks saw a target! One
said, “How about we make it interesting and play for ten bucks?” Don
took out his billfold and said, “Let’s make it twenty”! They grinned at
each other and agreed. They told Don to break, but he said for them to
go ahead. They broke without dropping a single ball—-then Don cleaned
the table, picked up their twenty, and said, “THANKS”!! It was a
humbling experience for those two fellas and a confirmation of what Dad
told me many years before!! Thanks Gary!

Gary,
My thanks to you and Bill for providing the information on the National Do Not Call Registry. I have already been awakened in the morning by telemarketers so as soon as I received this notice I called NDNCR and registered.
Thanks also to Bob Leonard and all for setting up the Dunseith web-site. I tried it, but could not connect. They must not be on-line as yet.
I am keeping busy in retirement. For the past 3 months I have been working for Pearsons Educational Assessment Corp. scoring tests as well as doing substitute teaching at the local high school. The pay is terrible but it does get me up in the morning. It also prevents me from emptying the multitude of boxes that surround me. Life is great in good old Hutto, Texas (near Austin) but I sure do miss the excitement of living overseas and working with the military. In thirty-four years there was never a dull day.
Take care and God bless you for all that you are doing to keep everyone connected.

This is a question for one and all,
Does anyone have any information abut Marlene Murray and her family? She was in our class for grades 1 through 4. I think her family moved soon after that. If my memory is correct, she lived just across the street, east of the school. About 25 years ago, I received a call from her–she was living in the LA area, I was living in Merced, CA. It just so happened that I would soon be attending a conference in LA, so we met for lunch and talked over old times. When she walked into the hotel lobby, I knew immediately who she was–she was just a grown up version of the Marlene I knew. We exchanged letters and Christmas cards for a few years but with changes of addresses etc., we lost touch. Was Marlene related to the other Murray families in Merced?? Would anyone happen to know her present address?

P.S. To anyone to whom I have sent an e-mail—and two e-mails have arrived saying the same thing, I apologize. My computer sometimes tells me it can’t send my message, so I assume I have to rewrite it and try again–only to see later that it did send both e-mails. My husband tells me I have to give the machine a little more time. Patience has never been one of my strong points!!!

From Deb Morinville Marmon (70):
Hi Gary,
Just a quick update on the surgery I was supposed to have. Yes, I said “supposed to” I believe that I have been the recipient of a miracle! The surgeon was able to remove the polyp with a scope so I didn’t have the major removal of 1/3 of the large intestine. Instead of being in the hospital for up to 10 days I was in overnight! I have to be careful for 2 weeks and not lift, get plenty of rest and am on a low fiber diet but other than that I’m back on track.
To Bobbi and Debbie Wenstad and the family. I am so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. I remember her as having a real good sense of humor and she sure put up with a lot from us right Bobbi? She will be truly missed.
Thanks again Gary for all you do for us. And thanks to those prayer warriors out there!
