Hi Gary

This is in reply to Wayne Smith…… loved the 50′s/60′s production! My husband and I went to Hot August Nights in Reno again this year. You’ve never seen so many beautiful classic cars as the thousands they have parked in the Casino lots and cruising the boulevards. My husband restores 50 Plymouth’s (he’s on his 3rd so far) and we also have a beautiful black 49 Chrysler New Yorker Highlander that needs to be completed. They’re fun to drive too, like a ship on the sea.

To Neola……..take care and feel better soon.

From Dick Johnson (68): 

Gary and Friends,

Rob Olson’s story about swimming in Willow Creek, near the old slaughter
house, brought back a memory about an underground dugout located in that
same proximity. It was buried into the outer east creek bank and was
made of concrete. The kids my age all called it Devil’s Cave. I wonder
if it could have been used at one time as a potato storage building or
possibly it was the kiln from the Dunseith Brick Factory. I haven’t been
to the site for well over 40 years, so it may not even still exist. Does
anyone have any knowledge of the original purpose for this underground
cellar? We discovered it while walking the dry creek bed looking for
fossils in the stones. At one time someone had used it for shelter for
some sheep that were being pastured there. For us kids it was like
finding a real cave, as it was probably 10 x 12 feet and had a doorway
that was about 3 feet wide.It would be located about straight west of
the high school and approximately 200 yards north of the old slaughter
house. Some of the folks who are just a little older than I am may know
what it was for. I’ve always wondered. Thanks Gary!

When doing your Christmas cards this year, take one card
and send it to this address.

If we pass this on and everyone sends one card, think of
how many cards
these wonderful special people who have sacrificed so much
would get.

Gary,

The St. John boys football team put forth a valiant effort but lost yesterday to Williams County 20-12. It was their first loss of the season. By the end of the game it was getting mighty cold and somewhat breezy, 20 degrees and 10 mph winds. Later.
