Merry Christmas! I had a chance here in Iowa during Christmas break to do some family history work. I have scanned several images to add to the blog and website. Some are family pictures and others are of individual grave markers.

“How very much I love our family-each and every one-
Dad and I shared a wonderful life on our Iowa farm.
I couldn’t have a better companion, or more choice sons
than Jerry, Michael, Steve, Gary, Rick-and then five
beautiful, talented, special daughters-Gayle, Renee, Christie,
Debbie, Kris. Also 25 healthy beautiful grandchildren-
Dad and I take great pride in our family. See you in heaven.”
