Thank you all so much for the Birthday greetings, here and on Facebook. Whenever I hear the expression “It takes a village to raise a child”, I think of Dunseith and how nurturing our community was for all of us. It was a wonderful place to grow up and we’re all so fortunate now to have an opportunity to reconnect through this blog. Thanks for all you do, Gary!

Thank you Bob.
I plan to live to be a hundred plus.
Those Coke Zero’s should add longevity to my life too.

Hi All:

Dick, those are memories that you and Brenda will never forget. I will pass your trip onto DJ (August) and Beckie. Thank you, for it is very interesting and another start for my beginning and hoping to finish geneology for Augie’s family.

Memories and Photo ID
From Bill Hosmer (’48): Tucson, AZ
Folks, The guy standing next to Coach Schulz is Charles, “Pug” Lund. His dad was the Superintendent
of the San. He had an older sister named Lola, who was an absolute beauty, but older than me, so no
attention directed whatsoever, from her, that is. Pug, Dee Nelson, Dick Cannon, and George Gehres and
I ran around together, and swam in the old swimming hole near the bridge on old No. 5 to Bottineau, north
of the Gottbret /Evans farm .
Since we used to swim buck naked in those days, it was my misfortune to be swimming near the concrete
highway bridge which crossed Willow Creek when three Dunseith girls came hiking across the bridge. They
just stood there, and I tried to maneuver my chilly body behind some brush, and they kept moving around. The other guys
gotten into their clothes, but I was stranded in the pond for some time until they kindly walked away giggling like girls
always did, and I guess, still do. So it was and so it is. Thank you, Gary. Bill Hosmer

HI GARY!
I HAVE BEEN READING THE MESSAGES THAT HAVE COME THROUGH ON YOUR WEB SITE, AND I MUST SAY THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT MISSES DUNSEITH AND ALL THE GREAT PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE AND THE PEOPLE THAT LIVED THERE YEARS AGO. IF I MAY, I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT STICK IN MY MEMORY. WHEN I LEARNED OF THE SNOW PLANES, I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF THE CONVERTED BOB SLED THAT ARNOLD WENSTEDT FASHIONED OUT OF A REGULAR BOB SLED. HE HAD MADE EXTRA LARGE SKIS FOR BOTH AND FRONT BOLSTERS, AND HAD MOUNTED AN ENGINE WITH A LARGE PROPELLER ON THE BACK THAT WHEN IT RAN PROPELLED THE SLED FORWARD AT VERY HIGH SPEEDS. I WAS JUST A LITTLE KID WHEN I SAW THIS MAGNIFICENT INVENTION ON THE STREET RIGHT OUT IN FRONT OF ARNOLD LILLEBYS GARAGE. IT SURE WAS A SIGHT TO BEHOLD WHEN HE TOOK OFF. THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO MENTION WAS THE AIR PLANE TIRES THAT ADRIAN EGBERT PUT ON HIS MODEL A COUPE, SO HE COULD ROLL OVER THE SNOW BANKS ON HIS MAIL ROUTE. IT SURELY WAS A GREAT WAY TO AVOID GETTING STUCK IN THE SNOW BANKS. NATURALLY, SNOW PLOWS WERE UNHEARD OF IN THOSE DAYS, SO TRAVEL WAS ALWAYS AN ADVENTURE IN THE WINTER. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE YOUNGER GENERATIONS REALLY PUT IT TOGETHER WITH THE SNOW PLANES. LIKE I ALWAYS SAID, THE NORTH DAKOTA PEOPLE REALLY ARE SPECIAL!

Wow, in that postcard you can see the old white school house! This
message is for Debbie Rondeau…what is the name of your grandson’s
band and where does he live in Texas? My son has a band also and
lives in Texas.
