GARY:
I OWE DEB WENSTED AN APOLOGY. I WASN’T QUITE CERTAIN ABOUT THE IDENTITY OF THE INVENTER OF THE POWER SLED, SO I TOOK A CHANCE. SORRY DEB, I DIDN’T MEAN TO IGNORE YOUR FATHER. IN ANY CASE, THOSE WENSTEDS WERE PRETTY SMART COOKIES.
I DO WISH TO ADDRESS THE FACT THAT I FAILED TO MENTION THE FANTASTIC WELCOME MY SISTER, BORGHILD (BORG) AND I RECEIVED FROM FLOYD AND LOUELLA DION. THEY WERE THE FIRST TO WELCOME US, AND IT SET THE TONE FOR A MOST ENJOYABLE AND UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE. I WISH TO THANK BOTH FLOYD AND LOUELLA FOR THEIR HOSPITALITY, AND ESPECIALLY LOUELLA FOR THE WELCOME HUG. LOUELLA AND HER FAMILY WERE OUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS TO THE SOUTH, AND WE HAD THE PLEASURE OF SEEING HER BROTHER LESTER AND HIS WIFE ON OUR VISIT. NOW I FEEL BAD I FAILED TO EXPRESS MY SYMPATHY AT LOUELLAS UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT IN FEBRUARY, BUT PERHAPS I WASN’T ON TTHE MAILING LIST AT THAT TIME. AT ANY RATE I DO WISH TO WISH LOUELLA A SPEEDY RECOVERY, AND THAT HER RECENT INJURY WILL NOT PROVE TO BE VERY SERIOUS.

From Gary Stokes (65):
Picture taken in the Ackworth school in about, I think, 1992 at the annual Alumni.
Note: All those seated have passed on. Charlotte died in Jan 1994 and the rest have passed on since.
Many of you are closely related to those in this picture.
For you Pladson folks, Is that your mother, Ella, sitting on the far side of your uncle Edmar?

Dick, the only one, in this picture, that I for sure recognize is Dwight Lang. In this picture he looks like he could be related to the Hiatt’s, of which I know he is proud of. Gary

done.. The player in the back row far left is Charles
