Good day gary. Hope bernadette is doing ok. I am not sure who this is but it looks like Junior Cote (Leonard) I am not sure if he was in the army but to me it looks a lot like junior to me.
Excerpt from the Cebu Expat Bowling News Letter
My average for three games was only 159. As you can tell, we are not a group of champion bowlers. It is the Camaraderie that counts. I bowled much better than my average too. Today my 3 game average was 133. My overall average is 141. We normally have about 30 to 35 bowlers.
Bowling News
Twenty four bowlers were present for the Leisure Bowling last Wednesday as a few familiar faces were out of town. Gary Stokes’ total of 477 was enough to give him the High Series.
Joke of the day
Posted by Larry Hackman (’66): Bismarck, ND
A young Naval Officer was in a terrible car accident, but due to the heroics of the hospital staff the only permanent injury was the loss of one ear. Since he wasn’t physically impaired he remained in the Navy and eventually became an Admiral. During his career he was always sensitive about his appearance.
One day the Admiral was interviewing two Navy Master Chiefs and a Marine Sergeant Major for his personal staff.
The first Master Chief was a Surface Navy type and it was a great interview. At the end of the interview the Admiral asked him, “Do you notice anything different about me?”
The Master Chief answered, ” I couldn’t help but notice you are missing your starboard ear, so I don’t know whether this impacts your hearing on that side.”
The Admiral got very angry at this lack of tact and threw him out of his office.
The next candidate, an Aviation Master Chief, when asked this same question, answered, “Well yes, you seem to be short one ear.”
The Admiral threw him out also.
The third interview was with the Marine Sergeant Major. He was articulate, extremely sharp, and seemed to know more than the two Master Chiefs put together. The Admiral went ahead with the same question.
“Do you notice anything different about me?”
To his surprise the Sergeant Major said, “Yes sir you wear contact lenses.
The Admiral , impressed thought to himself, what an incredibly tactful Marine. “And how do you know that?” the Admiral asked.
The Sergeant Major replied, “Well sir, it’s pretty hard to wear glasses with only one ear.”

Message from Patti Metcalfe Woods (67):
Gary,
Thank you very much for the Birthday wishes!
I received Birthday greetings from several Dunseith Alumni; what a pleasant surprise.
I am still wondering how they all knew it was my birthday.
I enjoyed each and every email.
I have been enjoying your messages all these months and appreciate all the work you put into this. It is unbelievable actually.
I relate to nearly every message as I have lived here my entire life (which is indeed a long time now)…..
It is like reliving parts of my life. My dad worked a few summers for “ASCS” measuring fields. We kids “got to” help by setting and pulling stakes.
Mom would pack us picnic lunches and we thought we were having a party. What a fun time we had, visiting all the local farmers and walking for miles in the Turtle Mountains.
Your class rosters are great… So glad you were able to locate our classmates even Duwayne Goodon .
I know I could not have accomplished finding even one class.
Mary “Anderson” Millang got our class of “67” fired up for the reunion of 2007.
A group of six classmates met at “Dales” a few nights and the class reunion was a success.
Jim Berube bought Class of 1967 T SHIRTS which were distributed to classmates. He also drove his Dads 1967 in the parade.
It was fun to visit with everyone again after forty years.
Classmates from earlier years Lawrence Hetle, Gary and Larry St. Claire joined the class at the Golf Course Clubhouse.
We truly missed all the classmates who were not able to attend.. None of this would have come together without you, Gary.
I am not a story teller but thoroughly enjoy receiving all the Dunseith news, Old and New.
Thanks again for the Birthday greetings.
Best Regards,
Patti

Gary and friends,
As some of you may know I am a member of the Dunseith Fire Dept. A couple of months ago we were called out to a grass fire south and west of the Terry Halvorson residence. After the fire was extinguished one of my fellow firefighters knowing that I collect old cans and bottles mentioned that he had seen some old cans protruding from the ground & pointed me in the general direction. Upon finding them I was disappointed in seeing that the exposed portion of the cans were charred. After digging the first one out the letters “SCHL & 12 fluid ounces” was clearly visible. The cans were fairly old as they were made of tin & were opened with a can opener (ie Church Key?) Looking down at the cans they seemed to be at odd angles to each other. Stepping back a few paces it looked like something was written. After backing up a little more the message became clear. It read M K WAS HERE . Well considering as how Dick is kind of a history buff I was h
In reply to Bev I think she is referring to the time period of when I had my first car. It was an old 66 Caprice that had electrical problems. As a consequence the headlights could go out at anytime so it was more than once that I would have to stop & park in a convenient driveway. But to answer your question Bev, no I haven’t parked in anyone’s driveway since I bought a new and reliable Impala S.S. (Well technically its my wife’s car, in her driveway, and she won’t let me drive it.)

Reply from Susan Malaterre Johnson (69):
First of all, We would like to thank everyone who mentioned the ” rare” occurrences that our brother was involved in. Now. we know that George would never be in a scandal of surc prop. But I must let Ya All know that one of his strongest supports was Francis Morinville. She got so tired of hearing George blamed that she threatened the “powers that be.” She said that she would give him names of who accused him. No more mention of who could have done this! Thank you Francis. I just hope that your defense was justified, Hey, who ever knew George for sure? Susan
Betty Schneider Lamb’s (54) reply to Gary for the pictures posted below:
Gary: Thank you for posting the pictures of my family, the Schneiders. These pictures were taken on my parent’s Golden Wedding Anniversary in the Methodist Church in Dunseith in June 1978. My parent’s attendants were the attendants when they were married. Hank Schneider was the best man and mother’s sister, Emma Ahlers, were her bridesmaid. You do have the names correct on our family group picture. It’s hard to believe that Bill and I have celebrated our Golden Anniversary already. We enjoy the daily up-dates. Betty and Bill Lamb
Betty, Your folks would be celebrating 80 years of marriage this year. These are beautiful pictures. Gary

Folks, The class of 65 is my class. We had nearly 9 months to tweak this class before our reunion in 2007. I’ll have to admit it got well tweaked. Our class was well reunited long before our reunion in July 2007. For not being a really close class, we sure all came together 42 years later. I think nearing our senior years combined with the power of email was a contributing factor for our success. Since 1965, I had only seen several of my class mates until our reunion in 2007. That was a fantastic reunion that I will forever remember. Gary
