>Happy Birthday Warren. I hadn’t thought of us being 65 from the class year 65. I
was just thinking a few weeks ago about Anthony and my wedding date, it is (6,5,65)  June 5, 1965.

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.

Thanks Karen,  Was this Hardware store in Dunseith?  Gary

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

SISTER MARY ANN’S GASOLINE
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,
