Happy Birthday Vickie Bergan Dietz (DHS ’82): Princeton, MN
All Saints Day (11/1) and All Souls day (11/2) in the Philippines
All Saints Day and All Souls Day are federal holidays in the Philippines. On these days the Filipino’s flock to the cemeteries to pay respect to their lost loved ones. They set up tent covers and spend most of the day (11/1) in the cemeteries with lots of food and refreshments. Many spend the night there as well.
We set up a tent cover over Bernadette’s dad and brother’s grave on Friday. Saturday afternoon (11/1) we, along with all of Bernadette’s relatives went to the cemetery with a car load of prepared food and drinks. We got there about 3:00pm and left about 8:00pm. Most of Bernadette’s nieces and Nephews and their families rolled out their matts and spent the night there. We hired a jeepney to take them to and from the Cemetery. When we got up at 7:00 the next morning they were already home with all the Tent cover, tables/chairs, coolers, etc. The had a ball.

Folks, I just had a very nice visit with Bill Grimme (65). He just returned from a 12 day Russian Cruise. He had a wonderful trip. Bill also told me he is seriously considering a trip to the Dunseith area next month, September. Bill is retired and is living in Birmingham, AL. Gary
From Sharon Zorn Gerdes (62):
Gary, I have been gone a long time, but one of the families that I never forgot, ( and often come to my mind) was Don and Bernice Johnson. They were so loved and highly respected, and that senseless loss was staggering to the community and all who knew them. Often I thought about Dick and wondered what happened to him and how he could forgive and live through something like that.
Thanks again for the wonderful job you are doing. You have created an entirely new world of memories that are forever precious and I eagerly wait for the next messages. Sharon Zorn Gerdes

Mom had another good night last night – she continues to stay very stable making small gains. There was some concern that the amount of liquids going into her body were greater than the amount her body was eliminating. This was happening because of all of the medication they were giving her. They gave her lasicks medication to help her get rid of the extra fluid. It worked and now her fluid levels are equal. There goal is to eventually get her body to eliminate more fluid than going in so that it will start to pull the fluid out of her transplanted lung. The X-ray today shows that her transplanted lung is still full of fluid. However, the lung is still pliable and soft and the doctor can even hear that it is trying to work. She was also having some difficulty with the level of her blood platlettes being low. This was causing her to bleed at the sites where the ECMO machine enters her body. They gave her more platlettes last night in hopes to help her blood clot better. However, the challenge is that they don’t want it to clot too much as it will then clot in the ECMO machine. The doctors are very happy with her progress. It is very slow which is to be expected. They say we have now gone 100 feet into the mile we must go to bring her out of this situation. We love reading your messages to mom and the family so keep them going. We show them to dad each night and plan to read them to mom as soon as she can understand. Scott, Ann’s grandson arrived today and will be staying with Floyd. Floyd was able to get into the Gift of Life House last night. If you would like to send him any cards or messages, his address is: Floyd Pritchard Room 22, c/o Gift of Life House, 705 Second Street SW, Rochester, MN 55902. Love to all!

Today was another stable day. The nurses all said that today went well. As I was leaving tonight they were going to do another blood cleaning to get rid of the rejection antibodies and inflammatory agents in her blood. They decided to do this because the rejection antibodies were elevated this evening. The primary doctor was not in this evening since he was up all night last night due to other cases. Hopefully the chest x-ray will show improvement again tomorrow morning.

Wayne & Rosemary, Congratulations on your 40th. I’m hoping you had a good celebration. It takes a few days extra to get my paper here in the PI, so I’m posting this after your celebration for folks to see. Gary

| Dunseith Photographer – Antoine “Moss” Masse 1910 | |

According to the 1910 Census for Dunseith City, Gilbert Township, Rolette County, the entry for Antoine Moss (whose actual surname was Masse) is listed as occupation Photographer/Own Shop.
Can anyone confirm/advise if there is a business directory/reference that might confirm if there was in fact a photographers shop at that time?
Thanks,
Lynne – Alberta Canada
