Old Pics as Promised

Here are a couple of pics Kerry sent to me - which I have never seen before! It is so awesome getting back in touch with family!Left to Right: Me, Tom with Deni, Jeffrey, Kerry (1975)

Left to right: 4 L-R Opal-1903, Ben-1888 (my great-grandfather), Lura-1885, Aubry-1898, Joseph-? (my great-great-grandfather) Dora-? (my great-great-grandmother) Grady-1900, Ivy-1894 (Newmans) (much earlier than 1975!)
There is one brother missing from this picture - Uncle Ted, the youngest (1906). He must have been away at college or something at the time. Uncle Ted and Aunt Mable were awesome! They used to have a cherry orchard in Montana and after they sold it they moved to Tucumcari New Mexico. It was always great fun to visit them.
My great-grandfather Ben lived to be 103 years old and (as he promised when I was born) - he was around to bounce my first-born on his knee! Joshua remembers Granddad bouncing his cane to entertain him. When I was young, he used to come visit us with a suitcase full of honey (he raised honeybees) and he would get off the bus one stop before ours so he could walk the rest of the way. He was always a walker. I guess walking is a good thing since he did live so long! And honey is supposed to be pretty healthy too - hmmmmm....

This is a picture that Lee's brother Kevin sent me last year. I had forgotten all about it until I found it on my flash drive the other day. The only one of the brothers who really has much hair left these days is Mark - and he still has a lot!

Hungry Horse Montana

I had planned on doing this page awhile back but I was extremely disappointed that I could only find one picture of me on this horse statue. Yesterday, while looking for pictures of the kids, I found my grandmother's old slide viewer and in the case were more pictures of the 'hungry horse'. I was totally thrilled, as you can imagine. I used to love our trip to Hungry Horse - we always stopped there on the way to Glacier Park - and I always wanted to get a picture on the horse. We quit going to Montana in 1972 when my grandmother sold her place. But we went back on a 'fun' trip in 1980 - of course we had to go by and get a picture on "Old Jerry"! I wonder if it is still there. I searched for Hungry Horse images on the web but did not find any. But the Hungry Horse website says that there are 'statuesque' reminders of the hungry horses, so maybe they are still around! They used to refer to the town as the Dam Town and the store was the Dam Store. I thought that was cool because I could actually say it without getting in trouble!

Yet Another Old Pic

Here is another photo I scanned at Lee's mother's house last summer. And by the way, Grandma Lucy was Grandpa Arthur's mother:
