Humphries Family History

I wanted you to see what I'll be giving Dad for Father's Day...I think they turned out really well! I just picked them up this afternoon. Love you, dear!

Hi everybody!      First off, Dad got home from Kauai yesterday morning, after flying all night...he took too naps yesterday; he never takes naps...especially not two!  But today, I think he's feeling back to normal. He took lots of wonderful pictures, and brought chocolates with macadamia nuts, for the grandparents, some lovely Hawaiian jewelry for me, and a book about all the movies and TV shows that have been set in Hawaii!       While he was out of town, he had his picture in the paper; I included it in this email.  I think it's a good one. Heidi and Dixie, two of the ladies were in 2nd Ward with us. Sister Clark was the RS pres, when we first moved there; and she doesn't seem to have changed much. But Sister Womack, who came home teaching to us, with her husband, has really changed a lot. Ben, didn't you go to Junior High with one of the Womack girls...the one who married (and later divorced) Luke Stodda...

Hello everybody!     Tomorrow is Anne's 13th birthday! We love you dear, Anne, and hope it's a wonderful day! We've really enjoyed the recent pictures of you in your dance group...the best thing, though, would be to see it in person.     I'm sure you all heard about the recent Amtrak accident, back east.  It was the same train that Dad took from Washington D.C. to New York, when we made our trip in January.      Just to follow-up: Boyd Josephson passed away from his injuries. His funeral was yesterday. Mabel got out of our hospital, in time to go to the Idaho Falls hospital, to say good bye to him. Her chest tube, and central line had been removed, but she was still needing Oxygen. Their 3 kids were there to help her through all the arrangements; Celia and Colleen will be able to stay and help her for a while, and Neal and his wife live nearby, so will be here for her in the long run.    Dad is in Kauai, Hawaii; ...

Happy mother's day to you all! I hope it's been a good day.    Today in Church they put our new RS presidency in, and then we were set apart, right after Church.  My counselors are Teresa Anderson, and Peggy Hanks; my secretary is Valerie Davenport (Shawn's wife).  I'll meet with Sister Dewey, the past president, tomorrow after work, to get the low down on what I need to do. And on a related note, Heidi is the new RS secretary in their Ward.     The other day, I ran into Whitney Crapo, she was visiting someone in the hospital. I asked her if Conn was still the Bishop up there in Newdale, and she said that now he is in the Stake Presidency!  They have a son on a mission in Minnesota, Sam has met him; and they have another one who will leave this summer, before his brother gets home. Conn was a young men's leader for Ben and Sam, before we moved to Denver.      Boyd and Mabel Josephson were in a bad car accident on...

Calvin's birthday J system Net To Sweep the Earth As With a Flood Oops! Each week, I start the email for the next week, so that as things happen, I can add them, so I won't forget to mention them.  This morning, during Relief Society, I thought of something, added it, and then hit SEND!  So let me try again...   Hi everybody!     Calvin is three years old!  He had his birthday on Friday, and it looks like the mountain of doughnuts birthday cake was a hit!  Happy birthday, Calvin!    Last week I mentioned that I had gone somewhere with J2, J6, and J8. Ben let me know that Joseph was interested in the J system, and wanted to know where he is in it!  J1 John Albert Haeberle (Grandad) J2 Joan T. Haeberle (Gran) J3 Jim J4 John J5 Me J6 Jocelyn J7 Jacob J8 Janie From here on, I'm not as sure... J9 Joseph Michael Haeberle J10 Jennifer H. Moses J11 John Robert (Rob) J12 Jacquie H. Mattos ...

Hello Everybody,    Tomorrow is Macy's third birthday! Happy birthday, dear Macy! We all hope you have a wonderful birthday! I think that's the day that your family will get home from their Utah trip...it's always nice to be back home again!    Dad/Grandpa is at Aimee's and James' house this weekend, and will then go to meetings in Riggins. I expect him home Thursday night. I hope he's having a great time in Moscow!    A couple of days ago Grandpa Humphries was having some leg cramps, and Dad/Grandpa suggested that maybe he needed some bananas for potassium. I got some, but doubted that he would eat any, because he's a pretty picky eater, and has been eating very little recently. I took them over Saturday morning, and he was so excited, and ate a big one right then...just wolfed it down. Even though he was enjoying it so much, he offered half of it to Grandma; but he seemed pleased to know that there was another one for her. Later ...

Hi everybody,     Aunt Venae's surgery went really well. It was supposed to take 6 hours, but they were finished in an hour and a half! She will be released to come home one day this week. I hope that the shorter surgery time, will also mean a shorter time she'll have to be off work too. She had been told she'd be off work for 12 weeks, and she's been quite worried about that. I'll let you know more later.     Sister Delana Marler passed away the other day. She was 55; she is the oldest daughter of Ruth Orr, and the mother of Lisa and Jenny, who had been in Ben's and Sam's classes, when they were all young. She and Steve had moved to Teton a few years ago, and neither of them have had good health, but I thought that he would go first. They both have diabetes, heart problems, etc... Dad and I will go to her viewing this evening at Bidwell's.     Dad got his new call sign! It is a short one that only Extra Class Hams...
