A Change
A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance and HMO
paperwork, and was burned out. Hoping to try another career where skillful
hands would be beneficial, he decided to become a mechanic.
He went to the local technical college, signed up for evening classes,
attended diligently, and learned all he could. When the time of the
practical exam approached, the gynecologist prepared carefully for weeks,
and completed the exam with tremendous skill.
When the results came back, he was surprised to find that he had obtained a
score of 150%. Fearing an error, he called the Instructor, saying, “I don’t
want to appear ungrateful for such an outstanding result, but I wonder if
there is an error in the grade.”
The instructor said, “During the exam, you took the engine apart perfectly,
which was worth 50% of the total mark. You put the engine back together
again perfectly, which is also worth 50% of the mark.”
After a pause, the instructor added, “I gave you an extra 50% because you
did it all through the muffler, which I’ve never seen done in my entire
career.

From Shirley Olson Warcup (49):
Gary & Neola,
Thanks for the pictures and information on Butte St. Paul. That was the gathering place for my Grandmother’s family (Alma Johnson) on the 4th of July–as it was for other families also. We always had a great time and it was about the only time we ever had orange “pop”. We always looked forward to that occasion. If I remember correctly, I believe there was often some dignitary who would give a short talk. This would have been in the mid to late 1930’s.
Once again, Gary, thanks for this network!!

Gary and Friends,
A little more information on the tower at the Dahl farm, near Lake
Metigoshe. My wife read the emails and gave me a bit of insight on the
old structure. She works for North Dakota Forest Service in Bottineau
and was involved with getting the old landmark removed. The Forest
Service erected the tower in 1957 and had a 50 year lease on the
property where it stood, so 2007 was the last year of that lease and the
tower was not used any more for its original purpose of spotting forest
fires. There was a liability issue also as people would climb the tower
for kicks. A college student fell and was injured not that long before
it was taken down. The lower stairs had been removed but people would
still find ways to climb it. It is much better to have it at the
Bottineau County Museum for all to enjoy, even though it is only a
‘short’ version of the original.The Forest Service donated the tower and
paid for the moving expense to get it to the museum grounds. I remember
when it was put up in ’57 and when it was taken down in ’07 so that must
make me REAL old! Thanks Gary!

This picture was taken during Ike. Please ignore me as I had been drenched several times. The best surprise was that Jeff was born in Bismarck! He still has family there. I worked with pride. This was brought to mind when Ivy mentioned that Julie”s name is Dahl. What a small world. Susan Johnson

Gary and Friends,
In looking for another item, I ran across the obituary of Grandma’s cousin, Harvey James. I mentioned this before so just thought I would send it for folks to read. Thanks Gary!
