Marie Beachler injured in a car accident
Message from Carmen Richard: Rolette, ND
Last week Marie Beachler was injured in an automobile accident. Her foot was severely damaged and she required extensive surgery. This week she is being transferred to the Good Samaratian Home in Bottineau, where she will be for the next couple of months until her foot heals. I am sure she would appreciate cards and letters and even better, visits from her friends from the area. Also, she will be turning eighty years old on May 8th, so birthday cards would be cherished also. Her mailing address will be–
Marie Beachler

725 10th St E
Bottineau, ND 58318
Marie is the mother of Wyatt, Clayton, John and my daughter-in-law Lanette.

Gary: In the San Haven picture #15 is not Bud Johnson but rather my Dad Peter Link. I talked with Mona Johnson via E-mail and she agreed with me also.–THANKS— RON Link (58)

Sister Mary Ann, who worked for a home health agency, was out making her rounds visiting homebound patients when she ran out of gas. As luck would have it, a Texaco Gasoline station was just a block away.
She walked to the station to borrow a gas can and buy some gas. The attendant told her that the only gas can he owned had been loaned out, but she could wait until it was returned. Since Sister Mary Ann was on the way to see a patient, she decided not to wait and walked back to her car.
She looked for something in her car that she could fill with gas and spotted the bedpan she was taking to the patient. Always resourceful, Sister Mary Ann carried the bedpan to the station, filled it with gasoline, and carried the full bedpan back to her car.
As she was pouring the gas into her tank, two Baptists watched from across the street.. One of them turned to the other and said,
‘If it starts, I’m turning Catholic.’!!

Hi Gary,
The latest ID list shows Frank Higgins as # 7. Not our Frank Higgins. He died in 1936! Frank was a large portly type of man.
Glad you are feeling better. Scary when we have these medical “episodes”!
I am attaching a photo of the Hardware store he managed in the 1930s. Very faded photo, but such fun to look at all the merchandise.

Gary: The San Haven Pic – I think #14 is Charlie Anderson – he was the pharmacist at that time.

Warren,
Hi Gary, The threshing crew picture stirred up a lot of memories for me: As a child playing in the grain truck while threhing was going on and when in my teens working on a couple of crews with Art Rude sr. and the neighboring farmers up in the Randal area. Number 9 I’m sure is George Egbert. I remember the ears. Mine also stick out and so was conscious of it on him when I knew him years ago. Bob Hosmer

Italian altar boy’s confession
‘Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl.’
The priest asks, ‘Is that you, little Joey Pagano?’
‘Yes, Father, it is.’
‘And who was the girl you were with?’
‘I can’t tell you, Father, I don’t want to ruin her reputation.’
‘Well, Joey, I’m sure to find out her name sooner or later so you may as
well tell
me now. Was it Tina Minetti?’
‘I cannot say.’
‘Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?’
‘I’ll never tell.’
‘Was it Nina Capelli?’
‘I’m sorry, but I cannot name her.’
‘Was it Cathy Piriano?’
‘My lips are sealed.’
‘Was it Rosa DiAngelo, then?’
‘Please, Father, I cannot tell you.’
The priest sighs in frustration. ‘You’re very tight lipped, and I admire
that. But
you’ve sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4
months. Now
you go and behave yourself.’
Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides over and
whispers, ‘What’d
you get?’
‘Four months vacation and five good leads …’

Gary,
What the???? that is quite a typo on my blog address you gave there. Bloodspot???
Should I be afraid?
Here is the real address: trishwild.blogspot.com
Was that a senior moment? Or a freudian slip?
Yikes! And here’s a newer photo: One from GG Park on Saturday with Jeff, an officer on the Mounted Patrol. He tells me it’s a 27 year wait list to get on the Mounted Patrol. Says “I smile every day I get to go to work, and laugh every two weeks when I get a paycheck”.

Thank you so much Neola. You did great!Those not yet identified#5, #4, #7, #3 Henry Durdle or Everett Schultz
Now … I have a $250,000 home, a $45,000 car, a nice big bed and a large screen TV, but I’m sleeping with a 73-year-old woman. It seems to me that you’re not holding up your side of things.”�
My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 23-year-old girl and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap house, driving a junk car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.�
Aren’t older women great? They really know how to solve an old guy’s problems.

Hey Gary,
I might be wrong, but the “church lady” in the second row, fourth from the left, looks like Eva Struck to me. (My friend Edith’s mom). Am I right?
I had the pleasure of riding in Golden Gate park yesterday. I’ve always wanted to, and finally took a trailer with two horses up there yesterday. It was a fabulous day! Very horse friendly. We met the officer on duty at the mounted patrol station, and he gave us an interesting tour of the stables. He made us “honorary mounted police, sold us sweatshirt with the police logo on it, and even gave us badges to wear. We then rode down to Ocean Beach, where people were enjoying unusually high temperatures. There were thousands of folks and kids out there, and almost as many dogs. It was a great time. People thought we were police, and kept asking for help, so we did what we could. (One lady had lost her teenage daughters and weiner dog, so we kept an eye out for them, but they found their mom before we got back). I will definitely go back, and add this location to my list of places to take people on horseback.
I will be posting photos on my blog later tonight if you are interested:
