Clarence John ‘CJ’ Enno (’81) 

      

Clarence John Enno (CJ) passed away unexpectedly on April 16, 2012 at his home in Littleton, Colo. 

He was born Feb. 4, 1963, in Belcourt, the son of James M. Enno and Gwendolyn T. (Kjervestad) Enno.   He grew up and attended school in Dunseith.There he played basketball, baseball and loved racing snowmobiles. He was listed in Whos Who among High School students and was an honor student of his high school class of 1981.

During his high school summers, he went to Williston to work in construction with his relatives, Kroll Construction and Enno Construction. Upon graduation, he moved to Williston and continued with construction and eventually worked for Pitman Drilling. He then left for Colorado in 1984 with just the clothes on his back and his 1969 Corvette Stingray. He sold his beloved corvette to buy his first work truck and began his construction business, called C Enno Construction. He had this company until his death. One of CJ’s greatest accomplishments in his life is building his dream house up in the mountains. CJ was very proud of this house. He met Brenda Lee Morgan in 1994 and started dating July 1, 1994, and they have been together ever since. She has been his companion and loving partner for 18 years.

CJ was a very free-spirited person. He enjoyed traveling around the world with Brenda and going for walks, hiking, sporting events and also enjoyed winning big at the casino. He also liked to sit around and reminisce about the past with family and friends, always teasing and laughing. He enjoyed fine wine, was a voracious reader, and was an avid history buff. Whenever the family got together CJ would always talk about the places they had been and the history, culture and people they had met. He enjoyed playing basketball or baseball with all the kids while he was here. He also had a heart of gold always willing to help and give you anything you needed.

CJ is survived by his long time companion Brenda Morgan, father, James Enno, Dunseith and Gwen Enno, Fargo, his siblings, Everette (Kim) Enno, Williston, Del (Mark) Enno, Fargo, Allan (Shari) Enno, Horace, Laurie Enno, Rolette, Bonita Enno, Horace, Cherrie (Alan) Belaskie, Horace, his sister-in-law, Arlene (Steve) Nickerson, of Colorado, his brother-in-law Cezar (Deb) Dignadice, of Colorado, his nieces and nephews, Catlin and Lexi Enno, James Mitchell, Andrew and Alison Enno, Kaycee and Jacob Peterson, Jordyn McCloud, Jaide Enno, Lane and Stanley Belaskie, Glen, Logan and Brandon Dignadice, Heidi and Geoffrey Nickerson, his Aunt Blanche Kroll, Aunt Bette Poitra, Aunt Marie Peckham, Aunt Patty Eller, and Uncle Dennis Fredericks, and many cousins.

He was preceded in death by many uncles and aunts, and his maternal and paternal grandparents.

Services are at 10 a.m. on May 11, 2012, at St. Ann’s Church, Belcourt.

 
Catholic Ladies Picture:
Comment from Dick Johnson (’68):  Dunseith, ND
 
Gary and Friends,       I was just studying the Catholic Ladies picture and noticed a
couple things that would date the picture earlier than was indicated.  I
noticed the photo included Mrs. Katherine Berube in the top row.  I
believe she passed away the first year I was in college in Bottineau,
which was 1968-69.  Then I remembered that Manuel Cuadrado was still in
high school here when Father Wolfe passed away, as he was the one who
told me about it.  I believe the Cuadrados left in about ’65 or’66.  My
guess is that it must have been around 1965 that this picture was
taken.  As always,  I’m open to correction.  Thanks Gary!Dick
Dick, I believe this is Father Wolfe’s death Record?  Gary

Folks,
The red star in the middle of the map is Cebu. To give you an idea of distance, Cebu is about 400 miles south of Manila. Vietnam is our neighbor to the west. For all of you Vietnam vets, Ho Chi Minh City is the former city of Saigon. The equator is about 600 miles south of us. We are 10 time zones, roughly 10,000 miles, from Dunseith.

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

Hi Everyone,

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

A Small White Dot
A kindergarten class had a homework assignment to find out something exciting and relate it to the class the next day.�
When the time came to present what they’d found, the first little boy the teacher called on walked up to the front of the class, and with a piece of chalk, made a small white dot on the blackboard and sat back down.�
Puzzled, the teacher asked him what it was.
‘It’s a period,’ he replied.�
‘I can see that,’ said the teacher, ‘but what is so exciting about a period?�
‘Darned if I know,’ he said, ‘but this morning my sister was missing one, my mom fainted, my dad had a heart attack, and the boy next door joined the Nav

The new combined Dunseith and Dunseith Alumni Web site: http://dunseith.net/

 

Folks,

Several of you asked what the cost would be for Amy to retrieve the blogs that she lost. This is her reply.   

$150 would have brought back all but about the last 6 to 9 months.   Amy 

Amy,

Go for it. That is a little amount compared to all the labor involved. Will the money be debited to my account or do I have to send other money?

Thanks, Gary

Oh wow, okay!  I will call them tomorrow and check how it would have to be paid.  If it debits directly from the account, I’ll tell them to go ahead then?  Amy 

I am a little cramped for time this morning with this being our bowling day, so I am making things a bit brief. 

Amy has restored the core blog section of our site and has added a few of the latest blogs so we can see how everything will look. Later on this evening I will experiment by adding today’s blog to the sight. My plans are to add each day’s blog to the new site at the same time they are sent out via email. As time permits, I will add the last 6 to 9 months that are missing.

 

Thanks again Amy for all of you hard work. The site looks wonderful.  As I told you before, we will compensate you for your time and your talents for making this happen. This site is ours, never to be taken away.

Gary

Hi Gary and all

I just went through the new website. Wow. What an undertaking. I am in awe of your cousin for the fabulous job she did. I know it must have been frustrating at times. She really did a great job, and just in time too. I know I, like many others, have saved numerous emails from the blog, so it’s certainly nothing for her to be  upset with herself over.Things happen but they always have a way of working out. Please extend my sincere thanks to her for a job very well done and very precious to us all. And a big thanks again to you, Gary, for all you do!

Our new Dunseith Web site: http://www.dunseith.net/index.html

Folks,

As of the end of today, April 30th, our current Dunseith Alumni Web site will be deleted and gone forever. My cousin Amy Schalesky has been working some long hard hours to transfer our old site to the newly revived Dunseith Web site. She has done a beautiful job putting this all together too. At the very end somehow she lost the entire Blog section, inclusive of all the daily blogs she had transferred. As of today there are 1,471 total, so this was a huge monumental task. I have all these backed up, so they have not been permanently lost. I’ve asked Amy to get the blog section of the site back to the way she had it set up so that I can post the daily blogs each day and also start adding the back blogs. Amy is so frustrated at the moment. I have pasted below the message I received from her several hours ago.

Folks, please take a look at the sight. All you have to do is type in ‘Dunseith.net’ in the address line. This link will get you there too. http://www.dunseith.net/index.html Amy has added a lot of addition stuff as you will see when going to the site.

Amy, Please, don’t be so hard on yourself. Nothing got lost that we don’t have saved. We will recover. You have done a great job getting this all set up and that is what is most important. What you have set us up with is a great improvement from the previous site. Thank you so much.

Amy’s message

I am absolutely beside myself. I finished everything…had it all perfect. I went to upload the final version of the site and walked away. I don’t know what happened, if a prompt came up and a button got pressed to confirm it, but the entire Blog folder was deleted. I had everything done from the beginning. I’m just in tears. I’m so sorry. I’m so, so, so mad at myself. I called GoDaddy and they said, yes, the folder is gone, no there is no way to recover it without an ungodly fee. I can’t even begin to think about going through all of that again, but I guess that is the only way. Of course now, today is the last day that the Live site will be up, but you mentioned a backup, right? I guess I will have to do that if you still have them. Anyway, let me know whatever your thoughts may be. Thanks.

Connie, It is great hearing from you and thank you so much for this reply. My guess is that you are probably right with that being Andy.

Irish Joke of the day:

Posted by Vickie Metcalfe (’70): Vickie.Metcalfe@sendit.nodak.edu Bottineau, ND

Paddy had been drinking at his local Dublin pub all day and most of the night celebrating St Patrick’s Day. Mick, the bartender says, ‘You’ll not be drinking anymore tonight, Paddy’. Paddy replies, ‘OK Mick, I’ll be on my way then’. Paddy spins around on his stool and steps off. He falls flat on his face. ‘Damn’ he says and pulls himself up by the stool and dusts himself off. He takes a step towards the door and falls flat on his face,

‘Damn,

‘Damn!’

He looks to the doorway and thinks to himself that if he can just get to the door and some fresh air he’ll be fine. He belly crawls to the door and shimmies up to the door frame. He sticks his head outside and takes a deep breath of fresh air, feels much better and takes a step out onto the sidewalk and falls flat on his face.

‘By’Jeebers…. I’m a little crocked,’ he says.

He can see his house just a few doors down, and crawls to the door, hauls himself up the door frame, opens the door and shimmies inside.. He takes a look up the stairs and says ‘No damn’ way’. He crawls up the stairs to his bedroom door and says ‘I can make it to the bed’. He takes a step into the room and falls flat on his face. He says ‘ Damn it ‘ and falls into bed.

The next morning, his wife, Jess, comes into the room carrying a cup of coffee and says, ‘Get up Paddy. Did you have a bit to drink last night ?’

Paddy says, ‘I did, Jess. I was really crocked.

But how’d you know?’

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–

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.

Joke of the day
Posted by Yvonne Casavant Marchand:  Bismarck, ND
 
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,

Happy Birthday Warren Anderson (’65)

>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.

 

 

 

Karen

 

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.

Threshing Crew Photo
Reply from Bob Hosmer (’54): Lynnwood, WA

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 …’
