.com. Conrad was born
February 23, 1928, to
Frank and Anastasia
(Fronk) Fritel on a farm
near Orrin, ND. Conrad
married Carol Salwey on
October 27, 1952. They
moved to Tioga when
they were first married
and in 1954 they moved
to Stanley. During their
years in Stanley, Conrad
worked for MDU and
served the community as
a fireman and a park
board member. He was
also a pilot and served on
the Airport Authority, was
a member of the Golden
Age Club and Knights of
Columbus; also operated
and managed Regis
Theater and Bowling Al-
ley Cafe.
He enjoyed elk hunting
in Wyoming for many
years with family and
friends. Conrad and Carol
enjoyed many trips to
Alaska, Arizona, Canada,
trips to the Casino and
summers with family at
Van Hook.
When we think of Con-
rad we remember how he
enjoyed woodworking,
hunting, fishing and trap-
ping. We all loved his
quick wit and great sense
of humor. What we ad-
mired most about Conrad
was his dedication to his
faith and his love for his
family. All of our lives are
better because of his kind-
ness, his great faith and
his beautiful gentle spirit.
