He didn't appear to be missing any teeth but he he really looked a lot like that Dwarf from The Lord of the Rings, but with a Vikings cap on.

Steve Powell · Guru

"I met the guy he had long straggly hair and a Viking cap on"

Was he missing any teeth? Are you sure he wasn't a closet Packers fan? I haven't seen Boone in years. He was a lot of fun at the ol' LEFC outings.

ps...the grass never will be green if we don't start seeing some rain. cry

For the record, I am a Steelers fan, not a Vikings fan, and I live in the land of Cowboys fans. Ick. Funny thing, I had a customer meeting this week and when I met the guy he had long straggly hair and a Viking cap on. He was from Minnesota.

I got a dose of Williston news this weekend as my uncle Boone was in Austin for a visit. The one thing he was excited to do was mow & trim my yard. Which worked out well for me. He hasn't got to do his yet this year because the grass isn't green in ND yet.

Chris, glad you've come aboard!!! Your little girl is soo cute!! One thing you can say for us NoDaks is we breed well!! LOL!! Cute kids for all of us!! How is it living in Tx when your a Vikes fan!? LMAO I used to live in California and I remember shopping and there was one Vikes Tshirt left, and me and nother woman grabbed it at the same time. Well...needless to say...I got the Tshirt! LOL!! I think my dad still has that Tshirt!! One more thing you can say about us NoDaks...don't take our kindness as a weakness! smile

Steve Powell · Guru

Considering I never get phone calls either, go ahead. biggrin

Kiddin' Great to have on board Chris! Hope to hear from ya often here. Thanks for joining us!

trahrah · Member

Hey Chris! Nice to see you on board! ha!

Mica · Veteran Member

Hey Chris! Nice to see ya!
Oh and thanks for calling me when you guys make your trip to Whitefish every year! Steve is it okay to call them jerks or am I gonna get in trouble for that? haha.

Hello from Austin Texas! Kemper emailed me the link to the message board so I thought I'd jump in. That's my daughter Patti on the left. I've been married to a lovely lady from San Antonio named Melissa for 7 years now. I'm truly blessed. Though I do miss ND on occasion...

Good to see the topics of coversation haven't changed too much since I left town: The Price of Oil, Weather, The Vikes, and of course Mosquitos. Though in 1990 the price of oil was bout $10 a barrel so I guess that's different.

Mostly I just wanted to say Hey, I've been lucky enough to connect with a bunch of the guys from Williston on our annual ski trip to Whitefish MT over the past several years. That's been awesome. The rest of you I hope to hear from soon.

Cheers,

Chris Collings

Steve Powell · Guru

Yeah, and no one gave those nicknames to us Webster kids because they knew they'd get beaten up by someone that would quite possibly end up at the boys ranch some day. biggrin

Mica · Veteran Member

When I was at school having lunch with my kids one day, I was telling them and their friends that we werent allowed to talk during lunch and if you did and got caught, you had to stand at the stage and eat. Remember that? And Mrs. Quie would walk down the hall yelling "PEOPLE PEOPLE WALK WALK". Ugh....

Michele · Member

oh ya, we were the wilkinson wolverines, but we had "other" names for the other schools, rickard retards,lewis and clark losers, i know, not politically correct, but what names did the other schools call us??? I prolly don't want to know cry

Michele · Member

Wilkinson. Mrs Quie cry

, Mrs Marple cry

, mrs Gilbertson smile

. mrs aberle smile

. My duaghter was complaining about her principal a few weeks ago, and he is Young and nice, so I told her about my principal, Mrs Quie. Navy suit, lacy white/cream top, hair in a bun. I was so soooooo scared of her. I don't ever remember getting into trouble and having to go to her office, thank goodness, but I do rmember she was intimidating as HE**. Mrs Marple cought me talking while i was putting y boots on, and had to write 100 sentneces. Palying Red Rover, British, marbles, chicken fights, and seeing how many flips we could do on that merrigo round! That was Forever ago!

SKM · Senior Member

Those sure were the days, Trahrah! And yep I "dated" Dennis in the sixth grade...then Dusti got ahold of him!!! LMAO. I even remember the phone call I got from Dennis saying I was "dropped" cause he wanted to "go with" Dusti. Good grief! I remember that but have forgotten everything I really need to know. LOL! smile smile smile

SteveKemp · Veteran Member

Trahrah, I am classic ADD and OCD can't you see I am going nuts at the keyboard now posting on Powell's message board, LOL. I will have the DVD for you tomorrow.

I just remember the first time I met you, Steve, at a Spring Olympics in 6th grade and then were at a party together at Alison Hughes house and you walked me home. Remember that??

Where are all of you Willkinson Wolverines?? BRUCCCCEEEEEE.................

Steve your kids are so cute! Do you guys still live out by Epping? Are you in charge of our 20 year (HOLY CRAP) reunion in a couple of years??

you raaaaaaang?

Mica · Veteran Member

Oh Tam I remember the BMX track right by your house!!!

trahrah · Member

What ever happened to Troy Rosaan? Remember going to all the BMX races on Saturdays? Boy, Shayla...those were the days. Dennis McGrath and Dusti Borsheim.... then I think you "dated" him, too? Sittin' on the grass watchin' the boys race.........eatin' sunflower seeds... not a care in the world......

great memories.............

SKM · Senior Member

Yep, Troy and I spent a lot of time together. We used to ride his horse, Snooper, and we'd catch tadpoles, frogs and what have you. Ahhh...but, Steve... I also remember playing strip poker up in Troy's barn! It was you, me, Troy and Dawn Flores. Ha, ha, ha, ha!!! What goofy kids we were! smile

Mica · Veteran Member

I always knew Shayla was a smart girl. hehe
Yes I lived on 18th - I dont remember if you walked me ALL the way home but I remember thinking I was cool cuz I liked a guy from another elementary school. Seems weird to think that my own son is getting old enough to start walking girls home. UGH...

We'll have to find someone to host the party on the prairie this reunion. That was a great time!! I need to bust some of those pictures out and post a couple. haha D-RUNK

trahrah · Member

Hi Steve... got my computer done yet?

SteveKemp · Veteran Member

Shayla and I weren't an item, Shayla knew better, that didn't stop me from chasing though. Shayla, weren't you and Troy Rosanne an item "back in the day".

Mica, that was an ironic walk, I don't remember, but man did you live in the same house on 18th, if so that was a long walk home from Allison's.

No, we moved from the "party in the pasture" house to a place closer to town. We are now out by the 4 mile, funny how I never venture too far away from a bar. 20 year will have to be somewhere else because I don't have the land to have a party like last time, it will still be a blast.

Mica · Veteran Member

Hahahah - Steve, I never knew that you and Shayla were an item as young Roadrunners!! And RahRah, I had no clue that you and Ryan Barkie had a "thing". hehe.

trahrah · Member

I actually thought I would marry Ryan! Oh, my............. Maybe that is why I can relate to my 6th grade students when they get their little hearts broken! ha! Thanks, Steve, for bringing up that memory!

SteveKemp · Veteran Member

Thanks, no they go to Hagen, just a little more convenient for me to give them a ride (which is not really true because Lewis and Clark would be closer). I just remember being beaten up regularly by Bruce Star, chasing you around the playground, TammyRahRah and Ryan Barkie being a "thing", the vibrating merry go round (not sure why, but that merry go round was popular with the girls), Brad Fenster and Kyle Severson betting on who would enlist first, Miss Miller and her mighty bosom, calling Mrs. Bauer a "B" (not real smart), writing sentences (getting the paper out of the piano bench), and getting sent to Miss Johnson's office. Ah the memories of Rickard Elementary.

trahrah · Member

Bruce, I dont remember much, but I do remember carpooling all through the years. Mostly though I remember being mortified when Mr Hatlestad dropped us off in the gray station wagon.

And sorry about my dad.... he thinks its funny to tell the same story OVER AND OVER AND OVER.... hahah

trahrah · Member

Sure I can still do a Hurkey! I will only show you, Shawna, in the privacy of my living room! I don't want to make anyone jealous! I am sure that Michelle and Heather (Powell) can still whip out a mean jump also!! ha!

Shawna · Veteran Member

gundo · Senior Member
