Request from Alan Poitra (76): Bloomington, MN
Hi Gary, can you add my sister and her husband to the email list . Leslie Peterson (Poitra) was from the class of 90 and Scott Peterson was from the class of 79. Thanks!!
They farm north of Kelvin Bar. Interesting but they did not know of the mini-reunion this summer in Dunseith. I know it was in the Turtle Mtn Star awhile back but not sure if there was anything posted.
I look forward to the get together in Dunseith. It will be nice to catch up with the old gang once again!!!
Al Poitra (class of 76)
Alan, We will see about posting some fliers around town. That’s a great idea.
Leslie & Scott, I have added you to our daily distribution. We are hoping to see you guys at the reunion on May 22nd too. Gary

Please add me to your list of update recipients.
Rod, It’ a pleasure to add you to our list. I know you transferred to and graduated from Bottineau with redistricting. I’m guessing you were in the class of 73, so I will include you with that year. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
Your parents, Thurman & Marie Parrill are my god parents too. Gary

hi Gary, I would like to comment on the photo of the Cote sisters. It’s nice photo. I’ve known all 5 of those ladies from working @ the Good Samaritan Center. I had lots of visits with Evelyn–& I visit with Alice each time I volunteer or stop @ Good Sam. I guess Evelyn is living in Rugby now. I think @ a Nursing Home. I think there was some boys in that cote family too!! Take Care Connie

Gary,
Thanks for the warm welcome you extended to my mother, Leona Hosmer. To answer your question:
Leona lives in a lovely apartment just a mile from me in Wilsonville, Oregon. Wilsonville, like Dunseith, is a small town. She walks everywhere: grocery store, bank, dentist, hair dresser, drug store, library, community center, restaurants, parks, and even a fun pub “where everybody knows your name” – are all within a few blocks.
We play bridge together, occasionally competing in tournaments. She is still my teacher and with her lead, we usually do well. We have over 100 Master Points.
It is such a treat having her close by at this time in our lives. She models for me every day on how to grow older with grace, intelligence, charm and and curiosity. She is always surprising me with her desire to expand her world, to see and try new things. Learning computer skills and joining the community you have created is just the most recent of her adventures.

Gary and Friends,
Dale Pritchard remembers Dale Hoffman’s black and yellow ’55 Ford.
Dale, do you remember Dale Hoffman’s first car? He had a bright red
Model A Ford coupe that was the nicest little coupe in the country! His
little sis, Brenda (68) had a pretty pink and white ’55 Ford Victoria
two door hardtop. Those were all real cream puff cars that their dad
located for them, I believe. Harvey had an eye for classy cars! Any time
I ever saw Harvey, he had a clean and shiny car no matter what time of
the year it was. Thanks Gary!
Dick

It has been an amazing couple of weeks! Patrick and I were married on Wednesday March 3 at 6:30 pm in a gazebo in Island Park here in Fargo. My dream of having an outside wedding came true! The gazebo is in the middle of the park surrounded by trees and snow. It was a cool night but the ceremony was beautiful in the twilight. Now I am a very proud wife and mother! We will still have our large wedding in October so this one was just for us and Connor.
Connor is doing great. I just left the hospital a little while ago and he was sleeping soundly. The doctor increased his feedings amount a little today and his weight is up to 4lbs 3oz. He is completely off of IV’s now and hopefully will start growing quickly. We do not know how long he will have to stay in there but the doctors tell me he is doing great so what more could I ask for!
Hello from Costa Rica:

Just finished a morning ride on Criollo ponies in a town called Mal Pais, which means “bad country” because the rough mountains come down to the shore. My horse won the race down the beach…! I return on march 9th and have decided to get my act together as soon as possible for living on horseback. Pura Vida!! Trish

Gary,
Here’s Myron email:
Hi, The missing names are Marilyn, GloriAnn, Rodney, Arnold, and Kenneth. And now here’s the story behind this photo. My mother insisted that we have a family picture before I left for the Army. The time is December 1969 on the day that I left for Active Duty Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. Thanks Myron
Neola, Evie is married to Rodney Kalk (61). Rod & Evie live up at Lake Metigoshe.

Folks, I know I know most everyone in this photo, but I don’t want to start guessing.
That looks like one of the Lagerquist boys in the back with glasses?
Please reply with names. I will repost. Thanks, Gary
