Hunt family pre-1970

Lloyd Hunt, Myrl Lavendar, Cal Hunt, Fawn Michaelsen and my dad, Warren M. Hunt

We moved into our Granger home when I was five or six years old. Dad built a large bedroom and bath onto the back of the house (behind Chinese Elm Tree) around 1964. We built our 1960s "bomb shelter" underground food storage cellar behind the garage (behind Willow tree) and planted grass all over it. Notice the clothes dryer to the left. This is looking from about 3/4 the way back of the yard. Off to the left (south) is a garden that was about 1/2 the size of the lawn area. We played a lot of football (touch) on this yard and baseball (before we put up the fence on the property line on the north side between us and Grants.

Troyleen Hunt (Wilson) ready for one of her many prom dances in high school while I was away on my mission.

Rendall, Rhonda and Merrill Hunt at a brithday, probably Rhonda's first. Notice the classic orange chairs and foot rest. They were the best. The round wood table was previously owned by Grandma Butt. Merrill and Vicki Hunt inherited it later.

Warren M. Hunt with his three youngest children posing in front of our home in Granger. Probably taken in 1970 while I was on my mission. Notice the large willow tree and the end of the 1959 Ford Fairlaine that I ended up using after my mission and during the first couple years back at BYU.

Rhonda Hunt napping in front of Mom's favorite orange chairs around 1970.

Dad & Mom took the youngest kids to Temple Square while I was on my mission.

This is the family Butt reunion held around Thanksgiving at Pioneer Hall in West Jordan in 1967. Grandpa Albert Butt is at the head of the table (bottom) and Grandma Leona Butt is at the other end of the table (top). Clayton Butt is at Grandpa's right, and Clifford is at Grandpa's left. I believe I'm at the end of the right table facing the camera in a white shirt and tie.

Starting from the left: Vivian and Doris, Ray and Marge, Raio and Idella, Warren and Lorraine, Clifford and Margaret, Albert and Leona, David and Elaine, Clayton and Alice. Taken at Thanksiving dinner 1967 at Pioneer Hall in West Jordan. We later used the hall many times for Hunt Mysteries rehearsals, dress rehearsals and once for a West Jordan Chamber of Commerce performance.

A precious picture of Grandpa Albert Rufus Butt at their home in Copperton with Trena, Troyleen and Rendall. He was an extremely nice man. I didn't realize until I was older how humble and hard-working and kind he was.

Christmas time at the Hunt home in Granger while I'm on my mission. Mom at left, Trena in white cowboy hat, Troyleen, Rendall in black cowboy hat and Rhonda in her coat. Note the modern look of the place, including the wall picture, left, curtains, orange chairs and lamp. I loved that lamp and chairs. Also, notice the aluminum Christmas tree with the rotating floodlight above.
