2007 DHS Reunion news from Yvonne DHS53

"I want to let the dhsclassmates know that I will be doing a book signing at the Adams Museum on the Reunion Saturday with proceeds going to the Museum. I look forward to seeing everyone during our 2007 DHS Reunion celebration."

Seeds of Sin by Yvonne A. Hendrickson...Book signing at Deadwood’s Adams Museum

DEADWOOD – The Adams Museum will host Yvonne Hendrickson for a book signing on Saturday, September 8, 2007 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. The event is free, open to the public and wheelchair accessible.

According to Hendrickson, seeds of sin produce bad fruit filled with secrets that have a way of finding their way to the surface. The book is a work of fiction set in the 1950’s that focuses on a farming family in the Yakima Valley of Washington State.

Yvonne Hendrickson was born and raised in Deadwood, SD. She and her husband live in Gig Harbor, WA and have two sons and a grandson. This is her first work of fiction.

The book signing is sponsored by the Deadwood Historic Preservation Commission, Deadwood Gulch Resort & Gaming and Cadillac Jack’s Gaming Resort.

The Adams Museum, Historic Adams House and Homestake-Adams Research Center identify, preserve, collect, interpret and promote the history and culture of Deadwood and the surrounding Black Hills.

Idaho Visit with Duane Palmer

Where are these pots?

These pots are still standing on the head of the stairs leading into the main DHS door and the other access by the Franklin Hotel.

They seem beyond repair or restoration.

Bill Beshara had them cleaned recently.

Deadwood Methodist Church Memorial

The Deadwood Methodist Church on Shine Street outlived its membership and structural integrity so it was torn down a few years ago. This memorial replaces the original church but the parish home remains. For great views of the old church see the interesting digital image review of Deadwood: http://archive.cyark.org/media.php?project=DWD.

Black Hills Wild Chokecherry

Remember the exquisite flavor these berries of the plum family give to jam or jelly? Served on hot toast, pancakes, or French toast is very close to heaven. You can still find and buy pretty good commercial products but home made is the best.

Rotary is a worldwide organization of business and professional leaders that provides humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world. Can you name each of the professions represented in this group? Funny the grave stone maker is standing next to the mortician.

Just wanted to tell you that I've been enjoying the blog so much! The story about Mr. Clark brought back lots of memories of playing the drums and cymbals in the high school band and city band.

Wish I could be there for the reunion, but since I can't, I hope to see pictures and news.

Thank you for all the work you've put in to this. I called Connie (McCarroll) and told her about it, also.

Warm regards to anybody that might remember me.
