From Interstate 29, you can see the steeple of St. Stanislaus Catholic Church. But unless you drive into the village of Warsaw near Minto, N.D., you do not hear the bells that ring from the steeple three times a day and before the 10:30 Mass on Sundays.

Lull is prelude to June explosion of activity
Dear Shirley,
I wish you could have been with us in Bismarck as we celebrated Jack’s graduation from Century High School. It was a joyous event. And, of course I drove across North Dakota thinking of him as a little boy. He was our first grandchild. He was quite a rascal. He used to like it when I took him up to the Grand Forks Herald to see Jeff Tiedeman. He knew Tiede would always have some candy at his desk.

Stern mothers turn into soft, doting grandmothers
Breakfast in bed. Burnt toast. Handmade cards that say, “I love you.”

The Donut Lady of Argyle is better than the Easter bunny
Carol Michalek of Argyle, Minn., doesn’t give out recipes for her donuts because she doesn’t have one. She’s been making donuts by the dozens for so long that the recipe is second nature. I found out for sure that she uses some vanilla and nutmeg for flavor. And that she is known as “The Donut Lady” of Argyle.

Vivid memories of World War II last a lifetime for veteran
If anyone asked him 10 or 20 years ago, Ray Spicer avoided questions about his experiences in World War 11. But Ray turned 85 this past week, and he now doesn’t mind saying that war is hell. He has vivid memories of going in with a second wave of Marines to take over Peleliu Island in the South Pacific when it was a stronghold of the Japanese.
