Happy Birthday Bev Azure LaValley (’67): Dunseith, ND
Gratitude of thanks
From Toni Morinville Gredesky (’68): Farimount, ND
Gary,
I just wanted to share my overwhelming gratitude to have close, childhood friends at my husband, Jerry’s funeral. I was blown over to see Dick and Brenda Johnson walk in the door. I only wished I could have visited with them a bit more. Of course, my close friends, Randi Mongeon, Paulette LaCroix, and Brenda Hoffman were there.We are always in touch and even though we are spread around the country, we make a point of getting together at least once a year. I see Randi more often since she lives in Chaska, MN. My daughter, Allison is also in the Cities, so I travel to see both of them as often as I can. It was so good having my brother, Dewey with us as well.
How blessed I am to have such wonderful friends and family.
My heart overflows.

Elma Severson, From Bottineau, Visiting us here in Cebu.
We truly enjoyed Elma’s visit yesterday. She has crammed a lot into the 3 days that she is here in Cebu. Tomorrow, with Art and Rose, she is leaving for Manila. Elma is from the Philippines and spent part of her childhood days living here in Cebu too.
Elma has a beautiful home, across the road to the north from the fairgrounds, in Bottineau. Elma is a teacher at the college in Bottineau.

Gary’s comments
So so sad to hear this news. I know he was a good kind generous man too. I believe he was a retired physician.
Lois, our condolences are with you with Leonard’s passing. We have never met in person, but with our email correspondence and you and Leonard’s support for the needy here in the Philippines, you are wonderful warm compassionate care giving folks. This world needs more folks like you.

Hi Gary,
A couple of comments on today’s newsletter. 
I don’t recall if I thanked Dick for the tribute to Dad when it was originally posted October 31, 2008, so I’m saying thanks now. I copied/pasted it into an email and sent it to his grandchildren/great grandchildren.
As so many other’s comment, thanks for all you do, Gary!

Don’t forget to set your clocks back tonight (Sunday 2:00 AM)
Folks, I remember as a kid going to Lake Metigoshe on the 4th of July. There were lots and lots of people with picnic lunches just enjoying the day with fun and games. Well the same kind of thing happens here in the Philippines on “All Saints Day” and “All Souls Day” (Nov. 1 & 2), only in the cemeteries. Today the cemeteries are packed with folks visiting there relatives that have passed on. Each cemetery looks like the Bottineau fair grounds during fair time with all the people and activity. People have their tent covers set up with lots of food, drinks, games and music. Many will spend the night there. We set up 2 tent covers over Bernadette’s fathers grave yesterday. She and her help are currently preparing food that we will be taking to the cemetery in a few hours. Some of her relatives will spend the night there tonight as well. These folks take the spirits of the dead seriously. 90% of the population here are Catholic. Gary

From from Dick Johnson (68):
Gary and Friends,
In the summer of 1968, after graduating from DHS, I got a job working at
Dunseith Sand and Gravel. This was a summer job and I was the scale man,
weighing trucks. They also gave me odd jobs like painting equipment,
hauling junk, doing bookwork, all the stuff no one else wanted to do. It
was a job. One day Mike ‘Little Chip’ Johnson and Curt Berg rode their
bikes out to the pit and asked if there were any beer cans they could
have, to sell for aluminum? I showed them where Alex Forbes, the forman,
threw his cans over the bank and told them to have at it. The first day
they each filled a grain sack. The second day they each had two sacks. A
few days later they were jumping up and down so I went over to see what
they were doing. They were all red faced from smashing cans and I asked
what the heck they were doing? Curt said, “If we don’t smash these cans,
we’re NEVER going to get done”. They had been hauling cans for several
days but hardly made a dent in Alex Forbe’s pile of Hamm’s cans. I
looked over the bank and there were still cans several feet deep. I
wonder if Hamm’s had to layoff people when old Alex quit drinking?!?

Reply from Dick Johnson (68):
Gary and Friends,
The person identified as Lois Hiatt isn’t Lois. She graduated in 56 and
this picture is about 43 or 44 as Thelma Hagen Johnson is in the group
and she graduated in 44. I don’t know who the two girls are, but Lois
would only have been in the first grade at the time. LaRose, thank you
very much for sending the pictures and please post some of the stories
you have about your class and friends. When we visited at the reunions,
you told a few and I would sure like to here more about the events of
the class of 46 which included you and both my parents. I still have the
Christmas stocking you made for me when I was just a toddler! Thanks to
LaRose and Gary!
Dick
Folks, I’m wondering if that could be Dorothy Hiatt Swanson instead of Lois Hiatt. Dorothy graduated in 1946. Gary

Can anyone identify the (Mystery) person in the middle row?
