Gary,
I don’t know if you are keeping a running head count but in case you are, we have booked 2 cabins as of today’s date.

Thank you Gary for the up date on Dennis. I talked with him at length last September. I also made the reservations for Patsy and myself for the cruise. It should be fun.
School is almost over with for this year. This Friday will be the last day of students. I have two days next week of class and then I will be officially through. I have a wonderful class this year and it will be sad to see them go on to fifth grade.

Folks, Phyllis is making reference to Dennis Dubois (63).Dennis does not have email, but I suggested to Bernadette, my wife, that she call Dennis and tell him about the cruise of which she did. Dennis is very interested in the cruise and asked Bernadette for Phyllis’ and Margaret Metcalfe Leonard’s phone numbers. He also asked for our travel agent (Gina’s) phone number. Dennis really aprecitated her calling him and wanted to visit. Gary

From Vickie Metcalfe (70): & her sister Nancy Metcalfe Moreno (68):
Gary
“What I remember is Mom telling about how Axel Johnson would get poachers on School Section Lake & bring them to Grandpa Lamb’s while he would go get more. Grandpa fed them pancakes.” from Nancy Metcalfe Moreno(68)
” And I remember my dad Cliff telling the story about Axel walking back and forth on top of the Metcalfe manure pile expressing to the older Metcalfe boys about the illegal practice of poaching of muskrats before the season opening. He was saying something like, “I know they may have been poaching and have no clear evidence, but if he did find the evidence he would turn them in.” With this story I heard, was that the pelts in question were under the manure pile which Axel was walking back and forth over while lecturing to the uncomfortable boys! I’ve often wondered if Axel really knew what the Metcalfe boys were up to and that it was his way of giving the “boys” fair warning he was on to them!”
I do recall our parents having utmost respect for Axel Johnson as a game warden & kind, honest, hard working man. from Vickie Metcalfe

From Gerry Anderson (61): and Rita Anderson (mother):
Gary … My mother, Rita Anderson, received this email and asked me to respond. My name is Gerald (Gerry) Anderson – we lived in Dunseith from the late 40’s to 1957. I would have been part of the class of 1961. I attended school in Dunseith from grade 1 – 9 and then attended Willow City Academy and moved to Jamestown, ND for grades 11 and 12.
The lone male picture with all the beautiful ladies is my brother Mark Anderson who died of cancer about 10 years ago. He was 4 years younger and would have been in the class of 1965.
My mother does enjoy receiving the pictures as both my dad (Ed Anderson – deceased) and mother were very active in the community and owned the Gamble store. …Gerry…

Hi Gary,
You may have heard from a few people on the graduates for the bottom row. I think it is Mark Anderson, Patty Bogus and Me.
Great job with the emails, love looking at them when I get to work.

From Dick Johnson (68):
Gary,
I was just studying the old Dunseith postcard and noticed– almost no
trees! It has to be from 1935-36, the brick addition on the school was
done in ’35 and the City Hall is not there yet and I believe it was
built in ’37. The article from the fire says it was 31 years old when it
burned in 1968 so I can assume the picture is either late 1935 or 1936.
Just thought you might find this interesting. Thanks again!
Dick
