Gary,
Sorry to hear about your run in with the mighty arm of the law. Guess the guys needed a little extra money to put down on the rooster fights. Thanks for running the photo of the Class of 65’s 8th grade graduation. It is interesting to note how much more mature the students all look when dressed in more formal attire. Seeing such photos brings back many fond memories.
I am off for Germany next week to spend the holidays with my son and his mother. For those who may be interested in geography and have some knowledge of Germany, I shall be in the Bayischerwald (Bavarian Forest) village of Wegscheid. Looking at a map the village is located in the hills where the Czech, German, and Austrian borders come together. It is, as one might expect, a very beautiful area located off the beaten tourist path but very close to some of the best cross country skiing in the world.
May everyone who reads this message have a glorius and safe Christmas and New Years. God bless you all and a special blessing for you, Gary, for all that you do to foster a truely global togetherness for the people from Dunseith.
Bob Lykins

Gary – That gal on the right end of the first row couldn’t be me. We moved to El Paso before graduation so I could not be in this picture. Thanks for all you do with this blog – it has reconnected a lot of people.

Pam, I kind of thought you had left Dunseith before 8th grade graduation, but I couldn’t think of who else it could be. I was looking at our current list of those of us living when I was labeling that photo. I forget to check the deceased. See Dick Johnson’s reply below. I think he’s right. Gary

Gary,
I think it’s Barbara Kalk instead of Lorraine and last one in the
front row might be Shirley Boguslawski instead of Pam Fassett. Fassetts
had moved to California before this picture was taken, I believe. I
could be wrong here, but thought I should bring it to your attention
just in case. Thanks.

DHS class of 65 eigth grade graduation:
Comment on the Picture: I remember back in those days we kids all had suits. We never went to church without wearing a suit. My brothers and I had some pretty snazzy suits that came from the Dunseith sisters. Folks used to dress up more in formal attire back in those days. The class of 65 is looking pretty sharp. What a mature bunch of folks we were, in our eyes of coarse. Gary

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the interesting account of what is happening at your home at this time.
I don’t think this is “our” Elaine Haakenson; I see no resemblance between this lady/”our” Elaine. I’m guessing you don’t see a resemblance, either. 
Paula is correct: Clarice Aus’ husband, Perry, was a teacher. The picture of the ladies is very interesting. I have at least two people I’ll be forwarding this picture to.
I arrived at my apartment at six. I finally have everything carried into the downstairs hall; I don’t have everything carried up to my apartment. If I get everything carried to the hall, I can carry it upstairs a little at a time. The 15 almost straight stairs, give my heart/body a good workout!! LOL!!
