The current temperature is 71 degrees.
Yesterdays H/L temperature was 74/46
Normal H/L temp for this date is 67/41
The high on this date in 1985 was 94. Global warming is going to make
it very difficult to sell snowblowers. Maybe then I'll be able to sell
my 4-wheeler.

Folks are still talking about the Bertsch's auction sale. Most continue
to be amazed by the incredible amount of items accumulated in one
household. The tremendous amount of items involved in the auction could
only be dwarfed by the effort of those involved with preparing and
moving it to the actual site of the sale.
Several of Herb and Orpha's family members travelled several hundred
miles to help in that process. Many of their local friends also worked
long and hard both preparing for and during the auction. I couldn't
possibly name all those involved. However, I must mention the
herculean efforts of Gil and Elena Mae Herbel. They have stood by the
Bertsch's throughout the entire project, from the very first day Herb
and Orpha decided it was best for them to move, several months ago.
Until the last item was sold on Saturday afternoon.

Be sure to thank Rep Gil Herbel for his work in getting the Bertsch's
sale into the Centennial Center. He's the guy that contacted all of us
to get this taken care of.
I hate to see the Bertsch's go. It was Mr. Bertsch, in my Sophomore
Science class who said these words that I shall never forget: "Live each
day like it's your last and one day you'll be right" and "This isn't
your life, it's God's life; you're just borrowing it for awhile."
It was Mrs Bertsch, 7th Grade English Teacher extraordinaire, who taught
me that it wasn't cute to dot my (i) with a smiley face, and I still
have the wonderful thank you card she sent me after I somehow was
elected Junior High Student Council President in 8th grade.
We, in small town North Dakota, are blessed with a lot of things, but
it's the people of great character like the Bertschs that represent who
we really are. The fact that each of them dedicated their lives to
teaching others made Grafton a better place for all.
May God bless them with good health, happiness and peace all the days of
their lives.

www.dynastyhockeyschool. com When you get the site on your monitor

To add to all this "proud hype" of the Grafton Gaustad Knudson
"gang" it was just announced in the April12 edition of the Grand Forks
Sports Section that the Buffalo Sabres, who Paul plays for, will be
taking on the Minnesota Wild in a preseason game to be held on September
24 at the Engelstad Arena on the campus of the University of North
Dakota in Grand Forks.

The Gazette works best, when the folks that read it, write it. Or so it
seems to me.
Write if you can, call if you can't, and, tell your loved ones they are,
before it's too late.
