Gary – It is with a heavy heart – tonight that i would like to pass on that our Cousin Elaine Metcalfe Passed away this week (She was a daughter of Emil and Ann) and part of the “Tickled Pink ” band in the 70’s– and also our neighbor for 40 + years- Larry Sime also passed this week– !! sad time for Jay and I —
Elaine was a Dept. head in Grand Forks at the University for 30 + years working with the DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS — and has battled oesophageal cancer for a few years- but always positive and ready to roll any time- I think she was dearly loved by many in GF_ !!_ — Jay used to cut wood for her to take her nieces and nephews camping in the summer- — she was a delightful person- !!
Larry taught Jay about everything there is to know about cattle and he was a good cattleman!!_ Jay had a good teacher because he was a city kid- !! and had to learn -but loves it so much he would listen- !!_ Larry and Jay would rope animals from their horses- for all the neighbors etc.- long before it became a sporting event- !!!_ they go back a long way !!_ and We will miss him- Our hearts go out to the families – !!!!– Jay and LOLa
They are safe in Jesus arms and free from their suffering now-
Lola,
So so sad with the passing of both Elaine and Larry. Our extend our condolences to both their families.
Please keep posted with their obituaries too.

Hi Gary.. What a beautiful pictures of the Edward Berube family who lived on a farm 9 miles N. of Rolette ND.. Evelyn (wife) is in an assisted living beautiful home in MInneapolis, near her son Tim.

Joke of the day.
Posted by Keith Pladson (’66): Roanoke Rapids, NC
Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter.
The pharmacist at the counter asked the older boy, ‘Son, how old are you?’
‘Eight’, the boy replied.
The man continued, ‘Do you know what these are used for?’
The boy replied, ‘Not exactly, but they aren’t for me. They’re forhim. He’s my brother. He’s four.”
“Oh, really?” the pharmacist replied with a grin.
“Yes.” the boy said. “We saw on TV that if you use these, you would be able to swim, play tennis and ride a bike. Right now, he can’t do none of those.”

From Evie Gottbreht Pilkington (65):
Hi Gary,
I loved seeing the picture of Fern Berube, Angela’s Mom, I remember her as a wonderful lady and I know she still lives close to Angela.
I also really enjoyed the Edward Berube family picture, the wonderful guy in the back on the far right is Dave Kelly, Sharron Berube (his wife) in front of him and I think their daughter Tanya or Bryanna…..I haven’t seen Sharron in years but Dave died during a simple surgery in September of 1973….he was so young and so loved by many. My husband Jerry and I went to the funeral, they lived in Simi Valley about 2 hours from our home in Irvine and I remember the church was standing room only. Dave was a “best friend” to everyone that knew him…..I will never forget him. I met Dave through Marge Metcalfe and Cecile Berube on a visit to Minneapolis the fall of 65….He had a LAVENDER convertible, that he let me drive during my visit….gotta love the 60’s!!!!! Makes me think of Ron Griener’s pink Dodge!
Hey class of ’65 I am missing your comments……

Front Row L to R : Gary (Bismarck), Perry, Back L to R: Brian (Bismarck) Brenda Lenertz (Bismarck) Edward, and Eldon. Eldon passed away in Minot approximately 5 years ago.The rest of the names don’t come to mind right now. I’ll try to jog my memory and send the rest.
