Dino,
Thanks for the heads up. I sent the following to Dick Lundstrom, who must also be an NDSU alum.
"Sure beats sitting in the stands with 1,00 others watching them get beat by Augustana or Morningside! After all those years of humiliation until, I think, about '65 or '66. I was in grad school at Tulane when they went to the "Pecan Bowl" in Texas. Been great ever since. But I went to games from grade school through college at NDSU and they were terrible. Today's students don't realize what they have." And for years I had to work with UND alumni who were not kind! Would like to have attended but I couldn't even get Homecoming tickets the two times I was in Fargo. Will watch it on ESPN. Someday I'll write an article for the Cynosure about the trip my son and I made to Sacramento to watch the Bison beat Montana in the old Camellia Bowl (1969), when my Volvo broke down on the way into town. Believe me, ESPN is easier,if less exciting.

I'm watching the game now in HD. Go Bison Go.

Sure, I don't know how many share my indignation at the lack of respect. But that may all be erased in a few hours. It's 3 minutes to game time. Got to go.

We did it!!!! Great to be able to watch it on ESPN2 vs the earlier games using audio on my computer. I graduated from NDSU 50 years ago this year so it is a good way to celebrate!! Dino-hope to see you folks one day soon in Las Vegas or you can visit here and we can get together with Jim up in Ventura.

Happy Days Are Here Again. Jim Teigen

The big win makes one proud to be from Fargo and ND. The Bison exhibited great talent and fantastic sportsmanship. Great January fun! Mary Colwell Erickson

FYI talk about loyal SU fans-------------over 10000 people went to Texas to watch us beat the Bearcats--great game , I doubt if Texas knew what hit them. I think they thought it would be a piece of cake. I remember all those years while I was there we struggled so hard. 3 plane loads, several buses and an unknown number of cars. My nephew (among many of my realtives) was there, said it was fantastic with all those SU fans ,they had a really good time. Chickie

Your're so right on Jim Teigen..... My husband Bruce Larson; would of ,said the same. He died in 2007. Had good parties but not a winning team, back in the days...

From Mary Borland (A digest)
I was so touched to read about my dad (Note: See 4/24/11 below) whom I adored, and also about our friendship which began as little girls (4 yrs old?) playing house or cave or whatever under a card table with a blanket thrown over it. Our moms and her grandma, Petra, made fabulous Christmas cookies which Andi and I sampled on and off during the day when we emerged from our "house". We've been great friends ever since, old friends are the best! Mary
P.S. Your prom memories arrived on my birthday, a great gift from both of you! Mary

From Andi Hunter
When The Forum asked readers to share memories and photos of their proms, I took a trip back in time and remembered my senior prom - in 1958 - at Fargo Central High School.
It started in a bed at St. Luke's hospital where, the day before the prom, Dr. V.G. Borland had removed my appendix. Borland's daughter was not only a classmate but also a good friend of mine.
As I recall, I wanted to draw a diagram on my belly to indicate where the incision should be so as not to go above the line of a bikini I had gotten in France a few years earlier. My mother wouldn't let me do it.
Regardless, prom customs were a little different then.
At that time, the guys often gave the girls a stuffed animal rather than a corsage for prom. The day after my surgery, my date, Bo Jarfors, came to the hospital with a fuzzy little dog. It had a music box inside and when you turned the dog's tail, it played, 'How Much Is That Doggie in the Window?'
Since my memories of my prom were not the usual ones, I emailed a few questions to about 10 of my classmates to collect their pre- and post-prom anecdotes.
No one responded.
So I called six of them. Their memories were dim and dimmer, to put it mildly. So much for some once-in-a-lifetime recollections. Fairy tales? I don't think so.
However, I did garner a few flashbacks.
My old friend Barb Hoaby said her date was classmate Ray Smith, and when I asked her what they did after the dance, she said they parked and smooched.
Margaret Hamilton in Minnesota went to the prom with classmate Gordie Aamoth.
Sue Bohlig in Michigan remembered her date was Brad Ansley and that her dress was strapless and pumpkin-colored with a white eyelet in which the zipper got caught. She has children and grandchildren and said that what she likes about proms today is that girls can go in a group without dates.
Jim Teigen in California said his date was Bev Forsberg and that after the dance, a bunch of them went out to El Zagal bowl, turned on their car radios and danced some more. Jim had a 1938 Chevy.
Norm Wolseth didn't remember anything, but he thought 'How Fargo of You' by Marc de Celle was a great book and that I should read it.
However, when I called Dave Williams in Iowa, I hit pay dirt. Dave not only remembered his junior date, Mary Weible, but his senior date, Susan Akeley. He said Susan wore one of the most beautiful dresses he had ever seen. It was emerald green.
For both the junior and senior dances, Dave bought a white sport coat and wore a pink carnation. Classmates will remember the significance of that.
Best of all, Dave fished through a box of memorabilia and found the following announcement from the Fargo Central High School Cynosure, Thursday, March 20, 1958:
'Dinez Vous? Dansez Vous? Rendezvous?
'Committees are buzzing with activity as this year's Junior Senior Banquet and Prom creep nearer and nearer. The theme for the event on April 26 will be Parisian Rendezvous.
'The banquet will be held at Concordia with the dance following at Ben Franklin. Francis Colby will provide music for the dance. The Parisian theme will be carried out in the decorations.
'The entertainment and decoration committees are working hard to make this prom the biggest and best ever. Gary Hunt is chairman of the entertainment committee and Marianne Stafne and Kay Hulebak are heading the decoration committee.'
I went to my first formal dance with Dave Williams at the Tree Top when we were freshmen at Ben Franklin. When I talked to him, he remembered the color of my dress, too. What a guy.

Sing a song for our own Fargo High,
Just a song of loyalty;
Sing it for the sons of days gone by
Who will always faithful be
Sing it for the Purple and the White,
For the team no one can deny--
That's the best in the West,
That will Fight! Fight! Fight!
For a victory for Fargo High!
