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.
