Bryce Cain (’39) Family question
From Keith Pladson (’66):   Roanoke Rapids, NC 

Gary,

I just noticed in your reposting of the 2008 blog and the list of the 1939 graduating class the name Bryce Cain.  Question for you and for all of your readers (including my cousin Ron Cain):  Do you, or anyone else, know anything more on this Bryce or family name?

Joke of the day
Posted by Mel Kuhn (’70):  St. John, ND

4  Husbands. The  local news station was interviewing  an 80-year-old  lady because she had just  gotten married  for the fourth time. The  interviewer asked her  questions about her life,  about what it  felt like to be marrying again at  80, and then  about her new husband’s  occupation. “He’s a  funeral director,” she  answered.   “Interesting,”  the newsman thought.   He then  asked her if she wouldn’t mind  telling him a  little about her first three husbands  and what they  did for a living. She paused for a  few moments,  needing time to reflect on all  those years.  After a short time, a smile came to  her face and  she answered proudly, explaining  that she had  first married a banker when she was  in her 20’s,  then a circus ringmaster when in  her 40’s, and  a preacher when in her 60’s, and  now – in her  80’s – a funeral  director.   The  interviewer looked at her, quite  astonished, and asked  why she had married four men with such  diverse  careers.   (Wait  for it)   She  smiled and explained, “I married one  for the money,  two for the show, three to get  ready, and four  to go.”   (Oh, just  hush-up and send this one on to  somebody who needs  a  laugh.)

Folks, some of you have been asking about our Alaska Cruise. For those that desire, we are currently working out hotel & transportation arrangements from the hotel to the ship.  I will be discussing this with Gina, our travel agent, before making any arrangements.  There are several hotels very near to the Seattle airport (SeaTac) that will offer good group rates to accommodate both those that will be flying and also driving. For those that drive they will be able to park their car at the hotel, while on the cruise, for about $10/day.  Gary
Message from Leland Hagen (50), Orvin’s brother: 

Gary,

I want to thank you for the information on Pearl Melhus. She was a distant cousin and neighbor .They moved away sometime in the 1930s and we completely lost touch with them. I don’t remember her but Orvin does.

Thanks for all the great news from and about the Dunseith area. I look forward
to your messages every day.

From Blanche Wicks Schley (42): 

Here is information about my brother and sisters.   I noticed that you have the information on Henry…

(also thanks for the picture of the class of 1938).  Marjorie was born April 24, 1914 in Bottineau and she passed away March 4, 1934 in Dunseith.  Gwendolyn (Courture) was born April 30, 1918 in Bottineau nd she passed away January 9, 2002 at Gering, Nebr.  Gladys (Leonard) was born August 16, 1912 in Bottineau and she pased away July, 1994 in Pueblo, CO.

Gladys used to hear from Angelina Murray.  She was living on the west coast and I believe that she passed away years ago.   Aaron Dale was in grade school with me — do you know what happened to that family?   Another name comes to mind when I think about school days in Dunseith — Joyce Hill.  When we lived in Dunseith, the Cornell family lived next door…did they move before high school?  Keith Cornell lived in Grand Forks and his son and grandson also live here — Keith died a few years ago.

Thanks again for taking on such a project — you are to be commended for doing this.  I know that it brings back pleasant memories of school days.

Blancke, Thank you so much for all this info for your family members. I have pasted your family members with their class years below. Hopefully someone will know the answers to you questions.  I too would like to know.  Gary

Message/Picture from Dick Johnson (68): 

Gary and Friends,

I am sending my grandparent’s wedding invitation from 1926. Mrs.
Abrahamson was a good friend of my grandmother and must have given this
back to her years later. The interesting postmark is
‘Carpenter–No.Dak.’ This post office was north of Carpenter Lake. Also
note the one cent postage stamp! Hand written by my great grandmother,
Della James Strietzel, on a plain recipe card in pencil. Thanks Gary!

Dick
