Question from Sharon Longie Dana (75):
Does anyone know how Mr. Hepper passed??? He was our neighbor for years. He was always such a nice man. Did he leave Dunseith???
Reply to Bev Azure: All of our prayers are being heard. Her road to recovery starts now and we will still be praying for her and all of her family and extended families.
Take Care Bev!!!

Thank you so much for those pictures of Axel, Gary. I, myself have never seen them before and I know Augie’s family will enjoy them also. I have downloaded some pictures of Augie and the family and will send them later.
Thanks again and Dick I loved the stories you told about “Pa”, they were
funny.
Take care,

From Gary Metcalfe (57):
| To Gary and All,
I am glad the diversity issue came up as it is important to me, along with all the pictures, definite history. Dick, the picture of the 10 & 12 inches of rain we got that night was great as I saw that same meadow the next day. We lost two of Eben Ahrends’ brothers that night, Hiriam and Jennings, somewhere near Lords Lake. They were brothers of Mrs. Norman Hiatt. I guess it is time to add to the Axel stories. Very early one morning I left my all night vigil on the station side of Dale’s and very quietly came up behind Axel, who had his head and shoulders up under the grill. I said, “BOO”, he just slowly turned, looked at me and said, “let’s have some coffee”. So, I got ready for another story. I asked Axel if he knew my uncle Lucky Metcalfe. He said one night in the years gone by, we were stuck in the mud in the hills around Willow Lake. Axel and Lucky were lifting the car out of the ruts and some guy was getting “pesky”. Axel said, “Lucky, get him off me.” He couldn’t tell me what Lucky did to that guy because he lost it. He was reliving younger days with an old pal. Kind of like a volcano and Old Faithful! Dick you have explained in earlier notes about the one and only laugh of Axel. Oh, I must say, he worshipped Dale and Georgie. We called him Georgie, Axel called him Yorgee. I think Dale added 10 years to Axel’s life, as he was wearing himself right out in the 8 foot deep trenches around town. He goes right up beside Ole Bersinger and John Bedard as great Americans. Gary Metcalfe PS Sue types my info and some names are not as familiar to her, so I want to correct two names that were misspelled in earlier messages, Rybachic not Rybach and Lilleby not Lillabee. |

Mom had a good night last night and is stable this morning. They reduced her sedation this morning at 5:00 but she is still on the pain medication which does cause some sedation. The nurse stated that it can take some time for the medication to get out of her system. She is moving her arms quite a bit but hasn’t started to move her legs. They are removing 3+ liters of fluid these past 2 days and the chest x-ray showed great improvement this morning. Air is getting deeper in the lung which is very good. The surgeon will evaluate tomorrow if she is ready for the tracheostomy tube.
This is a critical week as they will be reducing her sedation which may cause some anxiety for mom. Pray for her to be comfortable and not resistive as this occurs. Also pray for the doctors and nurses caring for mom. They have a wonderful staff here. We are grateful for all of your prayers and support. God Bless, Gina
Folks, I thought I’d include several pictures of some of the Class of 65 folks. Gary
