Our Tatumbla Family--7 Years Later

In the Spring of 2007 Joyce and I went on our second humanitarian trip to Honduras.  We met the Buitrago family in Tatumbla.  Yesterday we had a dinner at our house and the three girls were there, one with spouse, one with a boyfriend, one with a little daughter because her husband, Stephen had to work.  We had a great time; time marches on.

A Neat Lady Moves On

Joyce and I attended a funeral in River Heights UT today.  A friend of Joyce's family, and someone who treated my always like a friend has passed on.  Mickey Jibson was a fantastic lady.  She died at age 93.  Talking to her son Ron and her daughter Cathy and their spouses it is hard to believe that she is gone.  A week ago she was, well, she was Mickey.  This lady did everything, loved everything and everyone.

I was reminiscing about the little town of River Heights.  I was exposed to the populace there while dating my sweetheart, who I married.  There were incredible families there, raising incredible children, who were giving them incredible grandchildren.  My wife was a Weston.  Families within a few blocks were the Jibson's, the Ballam's, the Siler's, the Mickelsen's, the Ringer's, the Stewart's, the Jolley's, the Zollinger's, the Postma's, the Ellis's, the Rich's.  Those are the families that come to mind in my first thoughts.

To Cathy and Ron and their families you have my gratitude and respect and above all a cheerful smile as I think of your Mom and Dad, Wally and Mickey Jibson, they were a pleasure to be around and it was an honor to know them.

VHS Alumni Golf Outing (RESCHEDULED)

The 4th Annual VHS Alumni Association Golf Outing has been rescheduled for later in the summer.  We are holding the event at Oakridge Country Club in Farmington.  There has been some renovation on the course which would cause us to use temporary greens if we played on the scheduled date of June 20th.  Nobody, especially me wants to do that so we have rescheduled the event for August 15, 2014 at 8 AM.  Everyone and anyone is invited to register.  Registration info can be found at www.viewmontalumni.net .
