   Good Afternoon Gary and everybody that’s from Dunseith area. I’m just looking to see if anybody is living in Minn. area. I don’t know if alot of you know my son, Christopher Leo Rondeau, grandson of the Betty Counts Poitra and the Late Leo Poitra. My son plays and sings and his on tour right now, the reason I’m writing this letter is to see if anybody knows where the 331 club is in Minn.  stop and listen to him on june 5 he will be there, from there he heads back to Texas.

A question for Floyd Dion.  When I saw the picture of you with Harvey in the electric wheel chair, I remember, as a youngin’, hearing that you had been awarded a Golden Hammer Award from Popular Mechanics.  Did you receive such an award.  Is this the wheel chair that was submitted to Popular Mechanics.  You were always extremely handy and I am certain you made modifications to the original designs. 

To Bill and Irene Fassett’s daughters and Dick Johnson – Your scrapbooks articles and pictures are great.  Please keep sharing your saved memories of Dunseith.  The background of each picture is as important as the subject to recreate our lives in Dunseith.  Thank you.

From Neola Kofoid Garbe: 

Hi Gary/Susan,
Thanks for posting the picture of Eldon Hiatt and Dad, Susan.  It’s always fun to see a person’s parent/parents in clippings. :) Whenever I see this clipping, my first thought is always that the fellow with Dad is Jack Peterson, as he worked for Dad.  In fact, it was while Jack (It seems to me I called him Jackie.) was working for Dad that he lost sight in his eye.  Apparently, a sliver of steel lodged in his eye.  I remember what a terrible/sad accident it was.  I can still picture him with the bandage over his eye.  He was such a young fellow to have something like this happen to him.  When we happen to think/talk about the accident, Mom/I still feel bad.
Susan, if I were put in a room with all your old newspapers, you wouldn’t see me for months!  I absolutely love reading the old newspapers.  My problem is I want to scan/send/share so many of the articles with everyone.  I think the articles/stories/etc. are so great, I’m just positive others feel the same as I do about them!! Ha!
Even though I don’t know everyone mentioned in the emails, I enjoy all the clippings, stories, pictures so many of you share through Gary.  I’m with the rest of the people, Gary; I add my thanks to you, too. :)
Neola

Dick,
Your remark about most 18 year olds not being up at that time of the
morning is partly true…many of them were just going to
bed..

Don’t recognize them all as this would have in the year (43-44), before
I started at BHS, but here’s most of them –

Coach W.Schultz,  ? on first one,  Wayne Molgard,  Freddie Hiatt, Bob
Molgard, Leo Murray, student Mgr. Howard Landsverk.
Fr.  Roger Johnson, Don Johnson, Lyle Johnson ?,  Bruce Cornell, Allison
Fiske

That’s all but one and I’m guessing on Lyle, but looks like his grad.
pic to me.
