*It was a very slow morning, sleeping in, having some coffee and eventually getting going our of our hotel room. But was a nice feeling to have such a slow-paced morning.
*We drove up to my first place of employment after college, Dawson Community College. I was hired there as the Director of Admissions and Public Relations. We met Jamie and Liz and their friend Janelle Olberding. Liz works at DCC as an coding instructor. Janelle is the Director of Marketing and Public Relations, part of the job I used to do. Janelle’s maiden name is Scheffelmaier, and her parents own Scheffelmaier Meats in the Rose Lake area. She also did her student teaching at Kellogg High School. Jamie and Liz have become very good friends with Janelle, and she was a delight to meet.

*We ate lunch in the Student Center, and then met one of the Enrollment Specialists, and she introduced us to the college’s president, Scott Mickelson. I shared with him about my time at DCC, and he was very complimentary to Stephanie about the work Jamie does with the seniors at the high school. He also has Idaho roots. He grew up in Southeastern Idaho.
*Then Janelle gave us a tour of the campus. Some things looked the same. Some things looked different. It was fun seeing my former office, and walk around and talk about my job, and what the school was like when I was there. It was a wonderful trip down memory lane.
*Jamie joined us for the afternoon, and we went to the cutest coffee shop in Glendive called Bloom. It is connected to the greenhouse in town, and was just delightful. And it had really good coffee, too!!
*Then I had a list of places I wanted to go to take pictures of, that were places I had spent time at, or had special meaning. Here I am in front of the two places we lived while in Glendive. If you have ever heard out “bat stories”, these are the two locations where we had issues with bats.
My very first apartment. I lived on the second floor. Paul and I lived here when we first got married.
Our first home. We lived here when Molly was born.
*Later in the afternoon we drove out to Makoshika State Park. We walked around a bit, and went through the Visitor’s Center. As we were leaving Glendive in the early 1990’s, they were just discovering dinosaur bones in Makoshika State Park. So now there is a lot of information about Dinosaurs and the digs they have been doing near Glendive. It is really fascinating. We also drove out to KGLE, my second job in Glendive, when I worked as a radio announcer.

My second job in Glendive was as a Radio Announcer at KGLE Radio Station.
*Jamie and Liz took us to the Gust Hauf for dinner, then we went back to DCC and joined Janelle and her husband and daughter to participate in the DCC Haunted Trail, a fund-raiser for the softball and baseball teams at the college. It actually was very well done and pretty fun!!
Before walking the DCC Haunted Trail. Will we survive???
