Our First: Our Heather Beather!

   Our first child, Heather had a rough first few months with her clueless parents. Thanks to a change of doctors, she survived! But it was really scary! We couldn't get her to eat or, rather, we couldn't get her to keep anything down. She was lactose intorerant, we finally found out. Once the doctor told us to switch to soy milk, she actually stopped screaming and started growing!
  The plus side: She ended up with a great strong singing voice!
Heather Ann Hunt, born at Holy Cross
Hospital on Feb. 26, 1977.

Born at 10:15 a.m., weighing 7 lbs. 1 oz.

Rendall Albert Hunt: My Little Brother

My little brother, Rendall, is 12 years younger than me -- he just celebrated his 50th birthday.
Karen, his wife, asked me to get some pictures of him when he was young. These are the ones that I've found in my scrapebook. All of these were taken while the family was living in Pennsylvania during the summer of 1966. Rendall was 4 years old and Trena was 8 years old. Merrill had just graduated from Granger High School. I had just completed 10th grade.
Rendall Albert Hunt outside the trailer that the family lived in for the first few weeks. Merrill and I arrived a few weeks after the rest of the family because Merrill stayed for his graduation. Grandma
Butt and Merrill drove us all the way back to Pennsylvania. After staying witht he family
for a couple of days, Grandma drove home by herself.

 Almost every Friday and Saturday, the family would head out on another sightseeing trip. This is Rendall posed in front of the Washington Monument in D.C.

This is Troyleen, back, Rendall and Trena next to the Sasquehanaa River, across from the LDS Ward Meetinghouse in Harrisburg, PA., during that summer in 1966.

Rendall, wearing a Union Civil War hat, finds the perfect spot atop a Civil War monument.

What a happy-looking little boy: Rendall in the green wilderness of Pennsylvania.

1960-61 4th Grade Class Monroe Elementary

I found this class photo in my old scrapebook that I first started compiling when I was in elementary school.
This is my 4th Grade Class at Monroe Elementary, which was on the northwest corner of 4000 West and 3500 South in Granger (now West Valley City). Most of these kids and I went to high school together. How many of them can you name?

See if you can match some of these names?
