Dad's Speeches

Remember some of the speeches dad would give at the various special occassions. Here is a picture of Dad giving LaVon and I one of these the day we got married.

I am sure he is finding a way to tease us about one thing or another as he often did to us especially LaVon.

Kindred spirits

I remember the first time I met Aaron. I had only been on 1 or 2 dates with Steve. The minute I saw Aaron, I connected with him. It was as if I had always known him and my spirit had recognized him (I can only think of one other time when I felt this way about someone, the minute I met them). I knew right there and then that this was a person I'd get along with. That was definitely the case. There was more than one occasion when I called upon my father-in-law for advice. I'll never forget that instant connection that I had with him.

I remember

I also remember that night we saw the northern stars. Another memory I have is when Dad took Steve and I canoeing and fishing in a reservoir East of the Watsatch front. I can not remember the name but I remember having a lot of fun.

Here is a picture from a fishing trip that me dad and my father-in-law roger went on. Dad almost caught his limit that day. It was over the 4th of July weekend and me and heather had driven up from Utah for the festivities.

Here's a good memory

This one time we went up 2 harvest fire wood and we stayed overnight and slept out under the starts in that old tarp of dads. That night we got to see the northern lights. Dad said that this would probably be a once in a lifetime event too see. Those times that I got too go with dad too harvest fire wood were a lot of fun.

In the beginning...

So, this is a place where we can all share our memories of dad. We're hoping that everyone, including the grandkids, will share their memories. Feel free to write whatever and whenever you desire. We'll also keep a hard copy. Thanks for joining us in our reminscing!
