Neche, North Dakota (Grand Forks, Cavalier, Thompson: for sale, house, buy)

[the t man]

Hi,

My Dad Jim Thompson grew up in Neche and graduated from high school there in 1939, he went on to College at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington.
His sister, Mary or "Mid" married a Thacker from the area and moved west as well
His folks Fred and Esther Thompson moved to Spokane a bit later but two Thomposn boys remained - Charlie Thompson and Tom Thompson both died back in the 1970's.

Does anyone remember anything of the family?

Although I wasn't born until the late 70's, I do live in the area and may have a suggestion for you. My neighbor is a 'Lifer' and may know something about the family. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post phone numbers on here, but you can let me know and I'd be happy to put you in touch with someone who may have an answer for you.

Hello!! I have a question for you since you currently live in Neche. My family and I want to move to ND--we once lived in Cavalier, a while ago--and we see that there is a great house for sale in the Neche/Bathgate area. I have school aged children and an older parent living with me. I don't know much about that area..can you tell me some things--good and bad?
Any information would be appreciated! Thank you so much!

Neche is a pretty small town and Pembina and Neche residents both go to the elementary in Neche and the high school students are bused to Pembina. I don't know about Neche but I do know that Pembina has some of the nicest people. The down side of living in Neche is being close to the Canadian port and being so far away from any major shopping. There is no grocery store or restaurant in Neche but Pembina (20 minutes away) has a grocery store. I would say it's about an hour and 20 minutes to Grand Forks, ND. I personally wouldn't buy a home in Neche.I like Cavalier. It has a nice small town feel and the school is pretty good. It has a cute downtown and 2 restaurants, 1 fast food joint, and a few stores. If you want great schools you need to go a few miles east into Minnesota. I know a decent amount about this area and the schools because I have been doing the research myself. Feel free to send me a personal meesage if you need more info.
