From Jerry Hangartner:

 

Hello Roger,

A GREAT BIG "THANK YOU" to Arlene (especially) and all the Board members that over the years have kept Gambles alive on hard copy. What a major task.

Judy and I are kept very busy with lots of church work, volunteering, singing, travel in the USA, and fishing with Dale Bingham and his sons in Canada. We celebrated our 50th wedding anni. in 2012 and enjoyed a trip down the Mississippi River from St. Paul, MN to St. Louis, MO on the Mississippi Queen, the only paddle wheeler on the Mississippi. The trip was beautiful, the service beyond compare, and the 7 days were just plain wonderful.

Thank you Roger for taking on the task of the website. I will access it often

 

Thanks Ruth and Jerry for your updates. Let's all keep the news coming.

Roger Hanson - We received Arlene's last new letter and were unable to enter the gambles alumni news email she had in there so am sending email to you as we would like to enter our present email address to your mailing list if you receive any Gamble news. Carl was Gamble manager in Glasgow, Havre and Hamilton, Montana and then Carl and Evelyn purchased a dealer store in Salmon, Idaho, which we had for ten years. Always enjoyed the news letters and catching up on news. We are now in our 90's but still living in our house and belong to the Hamilton Senior Center and also the Golden Age Club. We attend a dance every Friday night at the Golden Age and play pinochle at both the Senior Center and at the Golden Age at least four times a month. Manage to keep busy and able to enjoy ourselves. Our email address is

Hi Roger,

Logged into the Gambles website and it looks great. It was fun reading the history link on Gambles. Our neighbor on Big Sandy Lake, MN worked for a company that did the maintenance for 5100 Gamble Drive, so we oftern talk about former mutual friends at the home office.

My wife, Betty, and I are mainly in good health and enjoying retirement.

Minus 13 degrees, too cold today to go ice fishing, probably will try tomorrow. Thanks's for your efforts on behalf of Gambles and it's former employees..

Jim Berg,

Gambles '70-80, Zone Manager, R&D Manager, Regional Operations Manager

 

Thank you Jim and Carl for your updates. Ellen and I live on the shore of Lake Elysian near Mankato. Lots of ice fishing houses just outside of our door.

 

Everyone keep the news coming.
