Condolences to the Madeline Peltier Family
From Jay (’66) and Lola Metcalfe (’68) Vanorny: Dunseith, ND
Our sincere condolences to the family of Madeline Peltier- !!– what an awesome woman she was- !!! – she cared for the residents at San Haven with tender loving care !!!_ besides taking care of her family of small children at home- !!_ and always maintained a demeanor of serenity amongst it all !!-
I first met her when i went to work at San Haven in JUne before i was 16 – I wouldn’t be 16 until August but MRS Rowe, DIrector of Nursing -a very sweet older lady — to me!!_ -said “well we just won’t mention it until your birthday in August!” LOL!!_ Mrs ROw told me – (between her puff on a cigarette and then she would put it out !_ LOL!!_ ” and then relight it right away !!_AND PUT IT OUT AGAIN !! LOL!!_) — she said “Honey Bug” !!_ ” You are doing GOd’s work taking care of our residents – and just treat them so ” !!- HOw true- and that always came back to my mind for the next 20 years that i worked at San haven !-
So i was very young – but Madeline was one of the first I met when i was there- !!!!- and she was just a very calm and loving lady !!!_ and never got Upset or tired of teaching us how to care for the residents- !!! or ever “that i knew of” had a bad word to say about anyone- !!_ what a dear sweet lady – I think i danced at her and Ed’s anniversary with their son- and could he ever dance!!_ He said his dad taught his kids all how to dance- !!-
Jay and I didn’t find out about her passing until Friday and by that time her funeral was over with- !!_ But we sure have her family in our thoughts and prayers- !!! they were very fortunate to have a mother that was a “GIFT FROM GOD” — sincerely – LOla and Jay

Reply from Phyllis & Alan Campbell:
To those who played basketball on Campbell’s driveway—-you might not know and might be interested in some background on that basketball backboard. It was made out of wood from the old RIverside Hotel and donated by Simeon Grenier who had purchased the hotel. We think he and Alfred Cote made it and helped install it on the Campbell garage around 1964. There were a lot of basketballs bounced off that backboard!! To honor the North Dakota Centennial in 1976, Jeff painted it red, white and blue and added a bunch of stars. It withstood a lot more activity for a number of years. He finally dismantled it when the wood deteriorated beyond salvage.
Some background on the Riverside Hotel (originally the Giles Gilbert house) can be found in the Dunseith Centennial book on page 27 under the Demo family history. Demo’s daughter, Jane, was the mother of Lorna Abbey (Darrell’s wife). A picture can be found on page 374–also, there’s a little information in Laura Law’s history of Rolette County book.
Thank you Lyle Olson and Dick Johnson for your kind words and fun memories of our driveway gathering place. We really enjoyed having all of you here!
Phyllis and Alan
Address Change from Brenda Hoffman (68):
Hi Gary,
Getting close to my class of 1968. My husband and I recently (July) retired to South Carolina. My new address is: 1209 East Washington Street; Unit 406; Greenville, SC 29601. Loving the weather here – but then you’ve lived in warm climates for years! Tossed my snowboots!
Brenda Hoffman – 1968
Brenda, I lived nearly 37 years in Bremerton, WA. It’s not exactly warm there in the winter months with the rain and 35 to 45 degree temps. It was milder than the Midwest temps though. We have lived here in the Philippines nearly 5 years now. I love never ever having to put a coat or sweater on. 365 days a year the day time highs are around 90f with the lows in the lower 80’s. With this being a tropical country, the humidity is kind of high, normally around 70%. I appreciate the warmer temps in the evenings. It gets dark around 6:00 PM.

Howdy Gary,
I was glad to hear that Bernard Morin was also unaware of these party spots. I was feeling that I was the only one from good old DHS that stayed clean throughout my High School career. I recieced an email from Paula Fassett where she remembered always seeing me working really hard so that I could help the poor and elderly, and she even remembered me helping stray cats. I didn’t think anyone had noticed that. As for Dick seeing my cars at some parties, I don’t know how that could have happened. I used to lend my car to Mark Schimetz or Albert Johnson or Duane Robert every now and then, so it must have been one of those guys that you saw.

lol Bernard and Melvin ……. I think Lyle and I have the same memories . The stories I could tell., but remember most of you almost lived at our house,I sometimes wonder how Mom and Dad put up with 10 sometimes 20 kids coming to our house every evening and us all yelling nurts but ,,,,,,,,, we sure had fun didn’t we. Lyle Remember the new years that we were going to get my Dad drunk lol we were amazed when he drank a whole bottle of vodka was still sober and the rest of us were feeling pretty good by midnight. My dad never drank so we figured it wouldn’t take him much lol we sure we wrong about that one. mmmmm Bernard park in anyones drive way lately? HAHA
