    I'll probably be at the NDSU/Gopher game, but I plan on going to the visitation. What time is everybody else going/anybody else?

                I heard about this today in class and just about started crying. Gigstad had, without a doubt, one of the best attitudes towards teaching and life in general.I had him for government and mentorship. He was a big inspiration to me and was one of the reasons I chose the major that I did. He had blue s4 FC out at the fargodome auto x 2 years ago if anyone can remember that...

                "You'll know its my last day teaching when I come in with a cigarette in my mouth, a coke in one hand and a bottle of jack in the other"

                He owned a mig, tig and arc welder, a plasma cutter and a whole bunch of other fab tools and used them on a regular basis.

                He will be greatly missed and can never be replaced.

                no race car? becuz homeowner...

                      This is Smittys mom. Kurt Gigstad's wife works at Fargo South and his son also teaches in Fargo. He will be deeply missed by staff, students and former students of MHS.

                          This ruined my week, I just talked to him at M&H a few weeks ago.. He took my number down, and we were going to shoot the shit.

                          What a awful loss of life. Best teacher I ever had.
