Tim Hill’s (68) Web Site (Laurie Evans Hill (75): 

Hello Gary,
Sorry that I didn’t have the site address down for you; this is
what they have listed: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/timhill.
Thanks for all that you do to keep us connected to the hometown–
we have had fun reading all the stories while Tim has spent alot
of time in the hospital the last two years. We can usually find something to laugh at when going online with you! Tim has had a really good day-it’s truly a miracle, it’s hard to believe a week has gone by already-once he is out we will have to stay close for 3 months, they have a Transplant house for patients and their caregiver-so far they are full, but might have an opening next week- there are alot of transplant patients right now and it’s great to see them come out into the hallways to walk with their family and just see the smiles on their faces.Thanks again Gary, Laurie Hill

From Neola Kofoid Garbe: 

Hi Gary,

Thank you so much for including the picture of Angela, Evie, you, Bill, and also the picture taken on Fern’s 90th birthday.  In the email I sent to Angela/Mrs. Berube, I wrote Mrs. Berube was a beautiful lady (in the picture), and I was sure she still is.  I can tell from the picture you sent, I was right–she is still a beautiful lady.  I can also tell she’s beautiful outside AND inside. 

Thanks to Evie and Carolee for your comments.

From Rod Hiatt (69): 

Dick remembers Hank the Barber because of his old car, well I remember

Hank because he always had some horses out on his little farm west of
Dunseith.
My Dad seemed to always be doing some type of horse trading with him,
but Hank never seemed to want to finish the trade as he hated to part
with the one he already had.
There was another barber in town by the name of Pat ?, who had his shop
just south of the drug store. Now Pat was actually a better barber than
Hank, but he was
also I think 2 bits or 50 cents higher. Now with Hank you had basically
2 choices of haircut, a butch crew cut or his zip you up the sides and
back of the neck and kind of give you that bowl on the head look. As I
got a little older and needed a haircut, I would tell Mom or Dad that I
was going to Pat the Barber for the more expensive hair cut, but would
go to Hank and use the extra money to buy candy and pop. Even back then
we knew that it was only the matter of a few days between and good
haircut and one of Hanks. I really never figured  that was actually
telling my folks a lie it was kind of just out smarting them a little,
but I’m sure they had something figured out when I wore my hat pretty
much day and night for that first week.
From Dick Johnson (68): 

Gary and Friends,

It seems as though kids survive things that could be deadly. There was a

movie at the Althea that was a detective-cop type, good guy, bad guy
show starring Robert Culp. I can’t remember who his partner was, but
they were both the good guys and were being hunted and chased by the bad
guys. One scene in the movie caused a bunch of us to debate whether or
not it could be true. Robert Culp sneaked up behind the bad guy’s car
and put a piece of newspaper in the filler pipe for the gas tank, and
lit it on fire! He then circled around and took of in his 61 T-Bird with
the crooks on his tail. All at once their car exploded in flames and
flew up in the air! I said it wouldn’t blow up like that! John Bogus
said it might. There was a controversy with a few others adding, “It
would not, or it would, too”! This grew into an issue! One night we were
cruising around town in my 47 Plymouth and started to debate the
explosion again. We usually made at least one pass through the old dump
ground on our cruises, just to see the new ‘arrivals’. This night
someone had dragged in an old 48 Chevy four door and then pulled off the
wheels and tires and dropped it on the ground. We decided to end this
debate right now! I parked my car up on the main road and we walked over
and removed the gas cap and sniffed the tank. It had fresh gas in the
tank, but we had no way of knowing how much. I laid on the ground and
tapped the bottom of the tank and it sounded empty. We put a piece of
paper in the tank filler pipe and then argued about WHO was going to
light it! John said, “You are the one who says it won’t blow up like the
show, YOU light it”! Now I’m not quite as sure! I carried a small can of
gas in my trunk so took that and poured a small line of gas from the
paper down the fender and across the ground for about twenty feet. After
that I put the can back in the trunk and the guys all headed for the
road by my car. I stood back and threw a match! I remember turning to
run and heard this loud bang behind me! The rocks and dirt passed me on
my run to the car! The expressions on the faces of my friends told me
something big was going on behind me! I turned around just as the rear
of car was coming back down! They said it was about four or five feet in
the air! It didn’t burn because the tank was empty, but gas fumes
explode, not gas! John won! I lost! Debate over! Thanks Gary!

Folks,

I thought I’d share the file of the 16 Casavant siblings that I have in my records.  They are all still living and as you can seeall but Joe and Aggie live in ND.  They are a wonderful close knit family.  I remember Mrs. Casavant, well, working in the lunch room of the old school basement cafeteria in the early 60′s.  I have talked to Mary Ann, many times, putting these class lists together.

She is always so friendly and nice.  Rene & Joe were in my class of 65.  I saw Rene, Joe and Gerald, numerous times, this last

summer at the reunion. Wonderful folks.

I know many of you know at least several members of this family. Now you can see the whole family list.

Burma Shave with the Statler Brothers

You may needto watch it twice;once to watch the Burma shave signs change and once to catch all the pictures plus listening to the music of the Statler Brothers. THIS IS REALLY GREAT. For those of you too young to remember “too badyou missed it!”
