Pastor Moren – Lutheran Pastor in the late 50’s and early 60’s.
Posting from Bob Hosmer (’56):Lynnwood, WA.
Dear Gary,
I just received a phone call from Orval Moren who was a pastor of Dunseith Lutheran Church late ‘50’s and early ’60’s. We were good friends during those days and my father, Jack Hosmer, respected him so highly that he gave Orval a new hat each year he served the Lutheran Church in Dunseith. H e called to get updated on me and we chatted a while about those days in Dunseith and he has written a memoir that includes extensive information on Dunseith. He would also like to be included in the blog. Their address is Orval and Bernell Moren:.
Thanks so much for this service you’re providing. I’m gaining so much history of my hometown that I have never known before. But I did play marbles with Bruce Poepple and Don Conroy, but got beat most every time.
Bob Hosmer ‘56
Thanks Bob,
I have added Pastor Moren to our distribution. He will be very familiar to many of our readers too.
Pastor Moran, please fill us in with some of your history following your time in Dunseith. Pastor Richard Grudt whom I took confirmation from, was the Metigoshe Lutheran pastor in those years too.
Thanks,
Gary

For the Ann Pritchart family. I am so sorry about your loss. I never met Ann but your family updates and the messages from people who did know Ann indicate she must have been a lovely and loving person. Brenda Hoffman
Condolences/Message from Cheryl Larson Dakin (71):
Wow…so much news. My heart goes out to jAnn’s family. I know she will be missed greatly by so many.
The wedding pictures were really fun to see. Congratulations to the new couple. I watched Bill Grimme’s Youtube posting. How fun.
Also, to Ivey Eller Robert…congratulations on your son’s upcoming wedding. Our family all got together in Minot in May for my niece’s wedding and we had such a great time. My greetings to Duane and his family. It was 1968 (OMG!!) when we hung out. Bev, I’ve been keeping you and Deb and your families in my prayers. And Diane…..save me some chokecherry juice!

Message from Dale Pritchard (63):
Gary,
That was a very good picture of Allen and Leola. I haven’t seen Allen
since ’63’ and Leola since ’94’. Leola had my Mother, my brother
Darold, and I over for supper (dinner?) the day of the farm sale after
my Dad died. I was home from Memphis three times that year; first for
the funeral, second for a regular vacation at which time I started
putting stuff together for the sale, and again for the sale itself.
Thank you Neola, for sharing your archives for the rest of us! And you
too Gary, for helping make this possible.
Dale
Folks, The Prichard farm (Dale’s Parents) is located one mile south of the Ackworth cemetery. After Robert passed away, Dorothy sold their farm to the Lagerquist’s. Evon Lagerquist is currently living on that place. Dorothy moved to Bottineau and is currently living at the Oak Manor apartments. Dorothy recently celebrated her 95th birthday. She may be moving a bit slow, but she has a good sound mind and is still living alone. Gary
Message from Sharon Peterson Harmsen (63):
HI Gary,
Once again, I marvel at what you do. Like everyone else on your “lists” I look forward to my daily fix of Dunseith news, whether old or new. I am missing email # 200 unless you chose to skip the # 200 when you decided to change your subject line? Anyway, I don’t have a 200 in my folder.
Thanks for all you do.
Sharon Peterson Harmsen (class of 63)
Sharon, You and several others had indicated that they did not have #200. I went back and reviewed my sent files for #200 and discovered I had sent it twice to group 3 and not to you guys in group 1, so I just forwarded it to you guys. I have you guys divided up into 7 groupings for this daily distribution. I am limited to 99 folks with each sending. Again, folks, if you don’t receive one of these daily messages, please let me know. Gary

Message from Sybil Johnson:
That was an interesting article on the original Farm Stead Act of ND. As many years I lived in Minot, I had never seen it before. Augie would remember many of those faces of the ’65’ class; I would send them to him, but he doesnt have his computer set up yet. If I may take the time and give an update on my daughter, Beckie; she is finally home and recuperating greatly. She will be going back to work in about a month and half.

Picture/Message from Muzette Berube Fiander (74):
Hi Gary –
I thought I would send some pictures from the wrath of Fay. The pictures from the first website are all very close to my home in Melbourne. Fortunately I didn’t have theflooding that a lot of areas had. I had driving rain come in the front door, but nothing serious. The Space Center was shutdown for 3 days so we didn’t have to report to work. There has been a lot of damage throughout Brevard County and many other areas of the state, it’s very sad. She was quite a storm for never making it to hurricane status. I’m also including a picture with my sister, Angela, and our mom, Fern, taken Thanksgiving 2007. The other is with my daughter, Renee, on Mother’s Day.
Thank you for keeping everyone in touch – you’re doing a great job!!
