Cottonwood Lake Lives Brief Life
When I was back in Williston, I stopped by the Library and checked out some past editions of the Williston Herald. Unfortunately microfiche is not ideal, but you can still make out much of the original material. Since I didn't have any particular date in mind, I looked at January through March of 1960 through 1967 and ran across a number of Alamo related items. I'll add them here as I get a chance for your enjoyment.

Appam Reunion: June 26-28th
From Beverly and Gary Sundquist:
The Appam Community Celebration is over. Thank you for coming and making it a great time. A special thank you to our host, Rich Holm, for making each and every one of us feel as if we were an important part of his family. Without his gracious hospitality this event could not have happened. Thanks Rich! We had a wonderful time and created memories to last forever. Thanks also to committee members Arlys Esterby Sovik, Beverly Johnson Sundquist, and Larry Johnson for their generous donation of time and talents as Rich and I (Donna) began planning the activities. Gary Sundquist's band provided a great evening of entertainment with our hosts the Alamo Firefighters. We are so glad that Gary is drinking from the saucer because his cup has overflowed! A special thanks also goes to a great family effort by the children of Stafford and Bertha Johnson as they served a delicious brunch after the Sunday worship service.
Some of those special moments were recorded on digital cameras by our friends and classmates. They are now ready to be shared with each of you. Almost 600 photos have been received by John Anfinson at Comtechnd. He has graciously volunteered his site to house the photos so that you can look at each of them and save or print them as you wish. (If you still have some to share - burn them on a cd and mail them to John at 2015 1st Ave E, Williston, ND 58801 or if you have just a couple to share e-mail them to him at anfinson@comtechnd.com and he will add them to the collection.) Thanks again John.

Clarice Berve Anderson
I received a phone call from Betty Pettis [Holm] and Clarice is in the hospital in Sheridan, WY and is not expected to make it...She has had many complications with the Lupus and is failing right now. Her boys have been called by Betty. Betty has been a true friend. I will keep you posted when I hear anything but please pass the message on to those who knew her so that everyone knows. I hope someone can tell Warren Bilquist as well. You can email me with questions as this is a public blog and I do not want to put too much up right now. Thanks. Please send your prayers.

APS Video
Since no one has posted any new pictures recently (or sent them to me so I could scan and post them), I've created a new video from the pictures I have. It's set to Enya's 'only time' from her 'a day without rain' CD. I hope you enjoy it. But think how much better it could be if you would send your picture, etc., so we could have some new material.

Videos of old houses (plus a bit more)
The Appam one appears to be Eldon and Oleda (SP) Johnson's house west of Appam. I have no idea of who posted the video. Any thoughts?
Actually this is a good idea. Do any of you have a video camera that you could use to take and post videos of the houses that remain in Alamo, Appam, and the area around there? It would be nice to have a record of what remains. Also - how about more pictures and old movies - I can help get them converted to video, any scanning required, and get them posted. They don't do anyone any good setting in the back of a drawer or in an old box.
