Hi Gary, thanks for another enjoyable walk down memory lane.  I know the names of some of the people who write but have never met them.  Again, as I sit here in Seoul, Korea on a beautiful sunny December morning I have tears of laughter running down my face from another of Larry Hackman’s stories.  When you live so far from “home” , it’s wonderful to read about times gone past of North Dakota experiences.  I wish our boys could have the experience of playing fox and geese, making a fire out in the snowy woods and boil eggs from a chicken coop!  OOOOOHHHHH, the good old days!  Lynn Halvorson Otto

Yes Cecilia, I remember those aprons. Both my grandmother and mother wore them. I guess it was easier to hold things in the pockets.

At 7:00 in the morning, its -9 here in Cheyenne, but Im still immune from the cold; after living in ND for 20 yrs. I remember those severe winters,

very well. Sybil Johnson

Thanks for these updates – I only lived in Dunseith until I was 3 years old I visited sometimes twice a year until I moved to Texas.  I always felt like I was coming home when I could see the TurtleMountains on the horizon.

Early to mid 60′s basketball team. Not sure of the year. Please refresh the identities those in this photo.  At one time the class of 65 had these folks identified, but without a lot of research, I can not easily locate that info. I’ve got a system set up now to be able to easily locate the identities of those in these photo’s.  Gary

My stab at who I think some of these folks are.
Back Row: John Awalt and Terry Martinson with ties. Coach Gene Hepper on the extreme right.
Front L to R: Dan Danielson, ?, Pete Gillis, Terry Espe & Warren Anderson

Cheerleaders for the team above. Again my guess with identities.
