Bismarck Trip with Mel Kuhn and the Hackman’s
Reply from Dick Johnson (’68): Dunseith, ND
Gary and Friends,
I think the time has come when my only option is to defend myself. Yes, we did make a trip to Bismarck and beyond in search of car parts. Beyond that, things are quite out of context. First of all, if Mel and Larry had color crayons, they kept them hidden from me. Secondly, when the special is ‘two for one burgers–Tuesday’, wouldn’t that mean that two guys get to split one burger? That’s how I interpreted it. Have you ever taken 4 hungry hillbillies into a nice restaurant like Ground Round? I offered to buy lunch as we were driving to Burger King and right NOW, Mel hits the brakes and wheels into Ground Round. He and the Hackman boys nearly knocked some old ladies down trying to get in to eat! The next thing I saw was Mel on the phone calling both of his sons to tell them, “Get to Ground Round, Johnson is buying.” I was rather glad the waiter was an oriental with little knowledge of the English language (true) or he would have been totally freaked out. The reason the people were looking at us was because the were afraid of getting hit by food that was flying when these hillbillies were eating. I think the management was so glad I finally got them all out the door that they gave me a special discount for my effort. Anyway, that’s my take on it. Thanks Gary!
Dick

Folks, I am still waiting for several more replies on the Greiner photo’s before posting the comments that I have gotten along with the names of those in the photo’s.

Lyle, how wonderful of you to share your thoughts and stories about my parents. It means so much
to me. It is true that I was away at college when you “kids” were in high school, but your
description of my parents is so accurate. They cared so much for people and my mom would always
try to help or defend those in trouble. Susan Malaterre remembering that my mom stood up for
Donald doesn’t surprise me.
My parents married in 1938–Mom grew up at Metigoshe and Dad just east of Bottineau. They worked
at the Bottineau Creamery and then started the cream station in Dunseith. The creamery burned down
in 1950 and Dad started the grocery store. They were married 12 long years before I was born and
then had 4 children within 4 years. My dad, always the jokster, said it took 12 years to figure
out how to get it started and 4 to figure out how to stop it. One of my very best friends,
Paulette LaCroix, said that her mother told her that my parents considered her and Henry so lucky
when Paulette was born. My mother was not aware yet that she was pregnant with me.
I, too, remember a wonderful neighborhood growing up. The Campbells, Mongeons, Grimmes, Kesters,
Mellmers, Dick Johnson,etc. all lived so close. Interestly, we often played in Bob and Lee
Hosmer’s yard. I’m sure the ball diamond is probably still etched in the soil. Their girls were
older but they never complained about us playing there. We even played “ante-I-over” over their
kitchen.
We spent a lot of creative time in that neighborhood. We Morinville kids were always putting on
shows or acts. One of my dearest friends, Randi Mongeon, probably remembers when we sang “The
Yellow Rose of Texas” for Bob and Lee and my parents on Hosmer’s patio. It’s probably not
surprising that I direct high school plays and musicals and that my daughter Megan is working on
her M.F.A. in theater. Of course, I have to give Don Johnson credit for nurturing my love of all
kinds of music in high school. He was another adult who had such a heart for young people. He
drove us all over to see various acts. Dick and anyone, do you remember going to see Fred Waring’s
group in Minot and Harry Belafonte’s back-up singers in Bottineau?
Lyle, it is so nice of you to bring my parents back to life. I thank you for your loving care of
my mom. I know that she loved you like her own. I am forwarding your comments to my daughters,
Allison and Megan. They never knew my parents, but are always so interested and ask a lot of
questions. This will be so nice for them.
Love,
Toni Morinville Gredesky
Reply from Carmen Leonard Richard (Rolette):
I am sure it is just a slip of the tongue but David Slyter said that Floyd died about two years ago. Actually that is Ernest– Floyd is alive and well and today at age 79 he is running his John Deere combine, harvesting sunflowers. He says he will retire when he is old enough !! You are forgiven David, it is easy to get brothers mixed up.
The picture of Ernest Richard family are: back row–Jim, Lester, LeRoy, Ernie, Larry- center Beatrice–front row–Michael, Diane, Debbie,Peggy,Bradley, Marlene.
Carmen, Actually the mistake was mine for not making the correction. Right after David sent that message, he realized his mistake and ask me to make the corrections before I sent it. He mentioned Floyd twice and I only corrected the first one in his message. David, I am so sorry for that oversight. It’s nice to hear that Floyd is doing so well at his young age. It’s a funny thing, the older we get, “old” seems to be getting older and older. Gary
Ernest Richard Family
