On Tuesday, July 21st, we drove to Bountiful and left Joel and Anna to visit with their Mortensen grandparents for a couple of hours. Tom and Jean drove up from Arizona, we met at Janice and Wayne's house in Bountiful. Here are Janice, Dad and Tom and Jean viewing some old pictures that we had put on a disk from old negatives in a box we had from Grandma. It was Uncle Wayne's 80th Birthday and we had planned on getting together for about 6 months!
Here is Grandma Phyllis on the far right, her Mother - Grandma Mary Jones, then her youngest sister, Wanda Cox, and Elise Jones - her only daughter-in-law...we think around 1950.
Here is Harold in the Portland Rose Garden - around 10 years old ... cute kid!
Grandpa Sam was usually involved with young people - here with Scouts - Tom on the far left, and Harold in front - Kent Payne - whose father worked with Sam at the Oregon Boys Home.
Tom, Harold, Grandma an Janice in front of their house at MacLaren - Oregon Home for Deliquent Boys.
Their horse Nicker, with Juanita Payne. One of Sam's friends was a long haul trucker - he was involved in an accident that killed the mother horse - in Eastern Oregon. He knew Sam liked horses and lived at the boys ranch so he brought the baby horse to them. They fed her with a bottle and she thrived. She was very smart and could get out of the gate whenever she wanted to. Tom could control her pretty good, but Harold was too small and light - she would try and rub him off on the low tree branches!
Here is one of their cats in Tom and Harold's bedroom window. One summer morning they had the window open to get some cool air - and they woke up with Nicker's head through this window! She had gotten out of the gate - again!
The Cardsten Temple - their car with the small trailer. They had been to Yellowstone for a family trip.
