August arrived in Glasgow 50 years ago in June of 1954 when construction of the Air Base runway began. He married Carrol Davenport in Wolf Point on June 17, 1955. They had five children: Terri Payseno of Pocatello, ID, Tom Dooper and his wife, Candy, of Lusk, Wyo., Kim Dooper of Cody, Wyo., Darla (Pokey) Dooper of Great Falls, and August (Tinker) Dooper of Laurel, and a daughter-in-law Paula Dooper of Laurel, MT. Gus was born September 16, 1919 in Amery, Wisconsin. He was one of eight children born to Bernard Helka and Catherine Dosch Dooper. He attended country school up until his freshman year when he transferred to the high school in Amery, graduating in 1938. His father died when he was nine and he became responsible for milking cows and feeding cattle before school and then came home to relieve his mother in the fields after school. He said it would take him two days to seed 20 acres behind two horses and that could now be done by tractor in less than 20 minutes. Following his high school graduation, he continued to work on the family farm until he was drafted into WWII in 1942. He crossed the English Channel on his 23rd birthday and served in the 754th Field Artillery Battalion (Ruffey's Outlaws) in England, France, Germany, Belgium, and Austria, supplying ammunition to the big guns. He was involved in the Battle of the Bulge and remembered hearing the shells overhead when the Germans were firing at the English and French across the English Channel. Upon his discharge from the Army in Iowa in 1944, Gus relocated to Phoenix to find relief for his asthma. After working at several odd jobs, he began his career in road construction when he went to work for his brother-in-law, Ray O'Meara with Northwestern Engineering. He later began working for Gus Albert of Miles City as a blade operator on construction jobs in South Dakota, Oklahoma and Montana. Gus was known as the best blade operator in the state before retiring for health reasons in 1981. Pops, as he was known to many, was an avid hunter and continued to enjoy the thrill of the hunt up until his death. He also enjoyed making trips to Ft. Peck, Nelson Reservoir and the Fred Robinson Bridge to watch the boys catch their limit. Gus was a regular at garage sales, the local grocery stores, and at his "supermarket" in his beloved car, the Bonnie.
He is survived by his wife, children and six grandchildren: T.J. Poulsen, Katie Payseno, Matt, Dani, Cole and Bailey Dooper, and sisters Sister Magdalen Dooper of the Order of St. Benedict, Duluth, Minn.; Elizabeth Coy, Portland, Oreg.; and Dorothy O'Meara, Tucson, Ariz.
