Message from Amy Schalesky:  Minot, ND

I am much more than happy to quickly get those few months over as soon as they do the restore.  I was doing it the way you are trying to do right now for the first few posts and it is a PAIN.  Like I say, I will definitely get it just as soon as they pull the rest over. 

You and your network are such a wonderful bunch!  Thank you so much to all!!!  Amy

Yes Amy, they are a wonderful bunch of folks. Thank so much for offering to bring over those last few months blogs that will not be included with the restore. My methods are very cumbersome compared to your abilities to do this. You are our saving grace.  Gary

Posted by Neola Kofoid Garbe:  Minot & Bottineau, ND

Hi Everyone,

The picture was taken in a tunnel, so they were unable to line up. (Thanks, Gary.)

“Brother Jim” and “Smuck” were the students managers.  Both of them enjoyed their “job” very much.

Jim is single, lives in Bottineau; Dwite is married to Kathy Kunkel, lives in Bismarck; Gary is married to Charlene Haugerud, lives in East Grand Forks, MN;  Keith is married to Jane.  His first wife passed away a few years ago. They live in Owatonna, MN; Lawrence/Larry is married to Connie Emerson, they live in Valley City; Sheldon is married and lives in CA;  Gary Wall was, at one time, married to Corrine Vandal.  He’s now married to Loretta Neameyer Coleman.  They live in Bottineau; Don Christianson is married to Carol Barbot, lives in Minot; Arlin/Smuck is married, lives in Bemidji, MN.  In the front: Lois Freeman was married to Wayne Gorder. Wayne died in a farm accident several years ago.  Lois is now married to John Weeks.  They have a home at Lake Metigoshe; I think they live in Mpls.;  Mrs. Darlene Selk, East Grand Forks, MN, passed away a very short time ago.  Mr. Selk passed away about a year, or so, ago.

Lawrence Pederson is Erna Walters Pederson’s brother-in-law.

As always, corrections/additions are welcome!!!  Please disregard all mistaken punctuation!  Since retiring, I’ve invented and use my own system!

I remember well watching this game live on our B&W 21″ TV.  Gary

Folks,

We have a friend, Loida, from Bremerton, WA that arrived last night. She will be here until the end of August. Then she will go back to Bremerton and return with her husband. They are retiring this year and plan to live their retirement years here in Cebu. Loida is from Leyte, an island near by. She visited Leyte 7 years ago. That was her last visit to the Philippines. It has been nearly 30 years since she was last in Cebu. Lots of changes.

I don’t have much today and we are headed to the mall here shortly, so I will go with what I have.

1959 Bottineau Basket Ball Braves “State Champs” Picture in 1959 & 2009 

From Neola Kofoid Garbe:  Bottineau & Minot, ND

Did I ever send this to you?  I see there are a few people in the picture your readers might know.  Dick told me Donnie Christianson was superintendent when Brenda was in school in Kenmare–at least I’m quite sure that’s how it goes.

Gary Berg, Alvin’s son, is in the picture, as is Brother Jim/Gary Wall, Loretta Neameyer’s (sp?) husband/maybe others, too, as I didn’t look at the picture very closely.  As usual, I’m looking for a certain email and saw this one.

Neola

Neola, I had not seen the 2009 photo, but I have the 1959 photo that I have also pasted below. Gary

Folks, Can we ID these folks?  Then we can compare. Gary Wall and Jim Kofoid are the only ones I recognize. Gary
