Ryan Heuchert's Farmers Union Insurance Agency has moved, settled in,
and ready to serve in their new facilities on main street, between the
Strand Theater and Kutz & O'Brien. It's wonderful seeing another local
sailboat fuel storage building converted to a more aesthetically
pleasing, contributing member of Grafton's business community.
I hope many will stop in Ryan's new offices and thank him for investing
in "our" communities future.
Grafton,... "Our growing is showing."

Saturday night I attended the annual Grafton Youth Hockey Banquet &
Raffle at Market Place on 8th. The first place prize, a Harley
Sportster, went to Shella Trontvet. The second prize, an Artic Cat ATV,
went to,... Me. The third place prize, a John Deere 115 Riding mower,
went to H. Dale Aasand of Drayton.
I would like to thank the Grafton Youth Hockey Organization for letting
me help them in their annual fund raising venture. I would especially
like to thank them, and all the wonderful business establishments that
contributed their time, energy, cash and prizes for this years MEGA
RAFFLE. It should also be noted that in years past, the VFW
organization contributed much of the funding needed for the youth hockey
program. Veterans not only fought for our freedom over seas. They gave
much to provide the resources so our youth could enjoy it.
-------------------------
The Monson School District #114 papers have found their rightful home.
>>> Gary,
I will be sending the documents from the "Monson School" to Harold
Blanchard, President of the Historical Village. I am pleased they
would like to have them and I am grateful your publication helped make
it possible. Thanks for all you do!
Best,
Scott Hove <<< Thanks a million for caring and sharing Scott. Without
thoughtful folks caring about the past. We would have little to look
back on, in the future.
--------------------------
Speaking of thoughtful people. Lee Ann Dolan dropped a check off from
Robert and her for Decca Mattson's benefit. Then Monday, I received a
note from Betty (Daley) Bangart saying. Please include the enclosed
check with the donations to the Becca Mattson fund. Ralph is my first
cousin.
Simply another case of wonderful folks, doing super things, for
fantastic people.
Did I mention Becca Mattson's Benefit? Spaghetti Feed and Silent
Auction

THIS Friday, March 23, 5:30 - 9:00

Speaking of nice people. Those that know John Aasand, know he could
talk the fuzz off a peach, without even breathing heavy. Today I found
out that he can actually write, too. John wrote. >>> Hi, I'm hearing a
rumor that vacation is over for LD (Larry Durand) and he's on his way
home. I still have the China Contract if you want to come over and take
a look at it. I should also say that one of our home town boy's is the
principal over there, and it's Jim Clark a brother to Fred Clark so you
know that he's a great guy.
Will you please put in your paper that the Grafton Federated Church is
holding their 25th annual French Toast and Sausage breakfast? And, that
the Sausage is being made by your son-in-law, the famous Dave Moe. His
breakfast sausage is so good, just take a look at me and you'll know I
like all the food.
Back to the breakfast it's Saturday, March 24th 2007 from 7am to 2pm.
Hope you stop by. Adult's $7.00 Family $14.00 thank-you in advance you
do the best advertising of anyone.
Thank-You
John <<< Thanks a million for caring and sharing John. Flattery is
cheap, and, it only takes $7 and good intentions to get a great
breakfast.

It's happening right here in Grafton, ND.
One trip down main street and you'll notice the flags flying, Welcome
signs in merchants windows, and, curlers from no less than seven states
participating in the "U.S. Mixed National Curling Championship". Our
little community can be proud to host such an event. Grafton may not be
the largest city in the state. But when it comes to curling, Grafton is
as well know as any town in the world.
I was pleased to see True Value Hardware lead the pack displaying
"welcome curlers" signs in their store front.
The large banner in front of the curling club lists Alaska, California,
Maryland, Minnesota, No. Dak., Ohio, Washington and Wisconsin
participating in this years event. It's really great watching folks from
so many states walking up and down our community streets with their
colorful jackets representing their own specific states.
-------------------------
Caring and sharing is what the Gazette is all about. I am pleased to
share Christine's latest note. >>> Gary, I have been unable to check
emails for a few days. I want to thank Kris Molde for her kind words and
for taking the time to come check out Hastings Landing, we really
appreciate all those who have come to visit and have a bite to eat. I
also want to thank you again for your support!! Every bit of
encouragement we get makes us want to work even harder. Blessings always
and thanks again, Christine Jensen <<< Thank you for caring and sharing
Christine. I continue to hear good things about your new adventure. Keep
up the good work. Gary
--------------------------
This is a special week, for two of our nephews. Nick Conigliaro added
another candle to his cake yesterday, and Tom Watkins will be blowing
out one more candle today. Happy birthday guys, we love you very much.
Aunt Pat and Uncle Gary
