San Haven Memories
From Shirley LaRocqueWendt (59): Tukwila, WA
 
I too have a few memories of San haven, I had several uncles who were patients up there, my uncle Art met and married. Jimmy, Billy and Denny, also my grandpa LaRocque died the in June of ’56’. MY MOTHER MADELINE WORKED THERE FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS, SHE WAS DR.LOEB’S HOUSEKEEPER FOR A LONG TIME. WE MEANING MY SISTERS LANA, GINGER AND MYSELF WERE SO HAPPY TO SEE THEM IN 2007 AT THE REUNION.
Shirley, I met Hannah and Karen Loeb for the first time at the 2007 reunion. Karen was in our class of 65, but they moved before she started High School. Karen and her mother are such nice friendly folks. I could tell they really enjoyed being reconnected with all of the Dunseith folks. In the late evenings when Hannah got tied, Karen would take her back to their hotel room in Belcourt and then return. We and everyone else truly enjoyed their company. I got connected with Karen putting our class list together prior to the 2007 reunion. I had the wrong spelling of her married name and was unable to locate her, but Evie Gottbreht came to the rescue and found her. We have all remained well connected since. Gary

Folks, I have a little extra room today, so thought I’d include several pictures of our place following the installation of ceramic tile on the upper area between my work shop on the left and our office on the right. The first picture was taken from our Bedroom window. Our next project will be to erect a high roof over the area between the workshop and the office. Being a farm boy from ND I had quite a collection of tools that I did not want to part with, so we had them shipped with the rest of our stuff to the PI. I have all these tools in the work shop. I’ll be honest, I don’t use many of these tools anymore. Our helper uses them a lot though. Gary
