It looks like dropping the profanity quote was a bad idea. Tom wrote:
>>> Gary
I had a teacher in the old Grafton school that had a quote on the
subject of Profanity. He said "Profanity is used by people that have a
limited knowledge of the English language"
Next I don't know what the price of gas is in Grafton but in Spokane
it is still about $3.00 a gallon. My son is in Kentucky and he said the
price is $2.16. What is the price in Grafton?
Your doing a great job with the gazette. Keep it up.
Tom Hart <<< Thanks Tom. The sand ranchers are forcing local
"retailers" to charge $2.30 here.
-- Kaye sent the next note that also includes the mention of profanity.
She wrote: >>> Hi Gary, Thanks to Scott Hove for his great
quote,"You're building a great community online because of a great
community offline {Grafton!]" Just received the Alumni News, and if
there is any doubt about Grafton being a great community, just look at
the numbers that return each June. We were PRIVILEGED to grow up in
Grafton, and I'm willing to bet that most of us will always consider it
"HOME". As for the profanity thing—keep it up—wish there were a way
of letting the movie industry know that they CAN make decent movies
without 500 F words!! Grafton lost one of their fine citizens last
week-Louise Dusek, wife of Ben and mother of Jim, John, Tim, Barb,
Susie, Jan and Grace. Louise was a wonderful example of Grafton's
finest. Did you get the boat out??? K
Thanks a million Kaye. Your also right about "our" great little community, AND, your
description of Louise Dusek is right on track as well. As for the boat.
Yes it is back on land for the winter, with special thanks to the
Arnesen's for all there help in that regard. I might also add that the
last day of fishing (and catching) was fantastic as well.
Speaking of Rocky Point. Rick and Diane Odegard are "Rocky Point"
residents as well. I am pleased that Diane shared the following with us.
She wrote: Thanks 4 the note Gary! You are right, there is a lot of
"babble"!!! Reminds me of what my home town paper, The Berthold Tribune,
once was. It (and you) got everyone caught up on everyone elses going
ons and then some!! Sorry to say we may not be at the lake for your last
Hurrah weekend as we are going to "Why Not Minot" for a celebration of
Grandma Tutse life... She passed away last Thursday at 106 years old. I
can't image what changes that she saw ...having automobiles to carry you
to and fro (wouldn't have to go feed the horses every night), only
having a couple outfits back then and now days some have 50 times that,
even seasonal clothing and how many shoes do we each have now? All in
all she had a great life. She was a widow since 1954, and she said many
times "No one has turned my head since Rupert!" (But then she didn't
ever get to meet you Gary!!) She loved to play cards, Bingo, slots and
to travel. And when we get together in Minot with relatives and friends
we will remember the "Large Times" we had with Grandma Tutse'. I'm sure
there were some real hard times for her, but she didn't dwell on the bad
times, she made due with what she had at the time. I often said Grandma
could make a can of soup last for 2-3 meals as she was so thrifty. I
guess living through the depression she had to scrimp on alot of things.
And so we celebrate Grandma Tutse' on Saturday. Thanks for letting me
"babble" to you! (Boy this is my 1st time to babble to you on the
net!!!) Take care of yourself and look forward to hearing how fishing
was this coming weekend!! We'll catch up with you b4 the snow flys! As
ever DO <<< Thanks a million Diane, for sharing a bit of your world with
us.

Barbara, another "Rocky Point" resident shared this note. >>> Hi, I am
receiving the Gazette! Thanks! I just returned from hiking and camping
on the North Shore for a week. The weather was beautiful and the scenery
was awesome. It was a bit chilly in the tent by morning, but it warmed
up quickly. I'm glad my trip wasn't scheduled for this week! Barb H. <<<
Thanks Barb, for caring and sharing. I'm fascinated that a retired
teacher living in a beautiful lake home, finds hiking, by an even larger
lake, and, sleeping in a tent enjoyable. Then again, what do I know? My
ancestors rowed boats and wore hats with horns on then.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
1. Jesus Christ
2. The American G. I.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON,
AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM. <<< Thanks a million for caring and
sharing Dean.
I too, was humbled by this thought.

Our family was saddened to hear of the passing of Irene Nelson. Irene
was a super individual and a former Grafton Floral employee. Her nephew
David Hanson (also a former Grafton Floral staff member sent the
following. >>>
Hi Gary, Carol and I recently attended my aunt Irene Nelson's funeral
in Grafton and I just wanted to share, what a celebration it was. Irene
was a common person but had so many superior qualities. Pastor Pete at
Our Saviour's couldn't have done a finer job of sharing with us the kind
of person she was and he was right on. Pastor Wayne Stark also echoed
Pastor Pete's affirmation of Irene. I know alot of clergy that could
take lesson from small town, small church, clergy. The Barnes Funeral
Home (K&N in my days there) and, the church lunch were fantastic.The
flowers, which I know mostly came from Grafton Floral, were beautiful.
I'm glad to see Grafton Floral still produces an above quality product.
That whole experience was truly a celebration of Irene's life.
I just had to share. We miss both Irene and Melvin, but were
blessed to call them family.
David <<< Thanks a million for caring and sharing Dave.

Recreation, and Chris Larson on some needs from the local FOB program.

GOTTA GO WORK ON MY DASH

P.S.
It's always a good idea to make sure the plug is in the boat "before"
putting it in the water. Unfortunately, I think I forgot to take it out
when "we" took the boat out of the water. I would be so happy if someone
would be so kind.
Write if you can, call if you can't, and, tell your loved ones they are,
before it's too late.
