I started to assemble a brief personal history but we have had some major changes in our lives along with the computer glitches. I'll elaborate a bit later. We are now at 1183N. 500W., Lehi, UT,84043 E-mail fvest01@msn.com You can pass this change on to the web page. I'll get back with you later.

May 2 + + + + + + That was fast. Just a minute or two after I e-mailed you I got through my mental block and found it. I've spent the last hour and three quarter reading the bios. Since Anna has gone on dialysis we've been Sort of confined to the Utah Valley area. Now she is somewhat stabilized we are going to be doing a little traveling. Next week we'll be in Fruita, Colorado for about two weeks with our youngest son and his wife and daughter. While there I hope to be able to get my bio out but I make no promises. Anna's loss of sight and kidney failure has kind of thrown a monkey wrench into our lives and we are still adjusting. The one thing I noted about some of the pictures attached to the bio's is, if we happen to run into one another some time somewhere let's hope there is some identity clue. Fifty years has made few differences.

We were in New York the summer before last. We thought about looking you up but I couldn't remember where you lived. How long have you been in Vegas?

We're still in Page. The last person I talked to was Beverly, I believe, and that was before our last reunion. As I recall there was no new committee elected at our 40th. Do you still have the last address list? I probably do if I can find it. Maybe the Utahns still have the same addresses. The only ones I know of relatively for sure, and I haven't seen either of them for some time, is Richard and Melvin.

I can't get my scanner to work. I've copied the list so I'll just mail it to you. I'm going to take my computer and my printer up to my son in Beaver this weekend and have him fix it I hope. I need your mailing address so I can get this in the mail.. Looking over this list there are still a lot in the Payson area. I have a daughter who lives in Lehi so the next time I get up there I'll take the list with me and see if I can find at least those who still live in the immediate area. Anna just said dinner is ready so I'd better get at it. More later. Fearn

Our current family picture is four years old and one daughter-in-law short and one grandson-in-law short.

We have eight living children. All are married except our youngest daughter. We have twenty and about 6/9 grand children and two great grand children. They live in the following states: Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Alabama, and Pennsylvania.

We and or I have traveled from Canada in the northwest to Florida in the southeast and Mexico in the southwest to New York in the northeast. This spring and summer we will be going to Alabama again, for the birth of our newest grandchild and then up to PA and hopefully, make it through the rest of the five New England states which we haven’t previously visited. That will leave just Michigan, North Dakota, Alaska and Hawaii that I haven’t visited. Since Anna has lost her vision she doesn’t enjoy traveling any more since she can’t see the sights, so any traveling for sightseeing is pretty much out. She loves to visit the kids and grandkids but doesn’t enjoy getting there. She has never liked to fly and since 9/11 she just plain refuses, so I get to do the sightseeing and she just goes along to keep me inside the white line. This she can still see, if it’s there. I’d love to be able to visit the rest of the states but who knows.

As soon as I can dig out the family pictures I’ll scan them and send them to you

My phone number is 928-645-2330. My cell number is 801-372-4066. It is usually just on when we travel away from Page.

I’m working on my post ’53 history. Anna says I have a tendency to go into too much detail, even on my personal history, so I have to do a lot of editing.

Later, Fearn

I'm sure there is more in the fifty years but my memory ran out of gas. I'm attaching one picture. I have one more I'll send when I get back to Lehi. We are in Fruita, CO. right now visiting with our youngest son and family and finding out what traveling with dialysis is all about
