Dear Family,
We are still at Betty’s, but if all goes well we expect to leave here tomarrow, enroute to Crater Lake Oregon. We will probably stay here a couple of days, if it is nice. We will then go on to Sutherlin by easy stages, probably camp out on the Umpqua River en route. I intend to do some fishing here, in case of emergency you can contact us through Ed Edwards, P.O. Box 785, Sutherlin Oregon.
We stayed in camp with the girls all last week. They had a very good time and did not want to come home. We even had Home Evening in camp, (probably their first). We went to church here yesterday. They have a little Branch, but it was very enjoyable as everyone was so very friendly.
Betty was quite ill Saturday. We took her to the Hospital for shots and she seems to be O.K. now. That rat race in the Hospital puts constant pressure on her, as something extraordinary happens on almost every shift.
As I write, a long telephone conversation is going on between Mother and Rina, Betty and Marta so I suppose I should close this letter as far as you are concerned. The Stobbes are worn out with their vacation and are trying to get reservations back home.
We still have not made up our mind about how we are returning home. It all depends on what we find in Oregon. From what we read in the papers you “Rootin-Tootin” McKays are having some miserable weather. A 100 degrees in Salt Lake must make it 110 at least in Roosevelt. No thank you! It is cooler in Tucson.
The weather here has been just right. Warm during the days and cool at night. They have had no rain though and are jittery about fires.
Robin has graduated to Mutual. Renee, all of sudden has reached for altitude. She looks a lot like Betty at the same age. Roberta, well Roberta is Roberta. She has changed a lot though and is nobody’s pet now. During Home Evening she gave us the complete story of Joseph. Form the time of his many colored coat until the famine and reconciliation with his brothers.
You “smog smelling” McKays be sure to keep us posted regarding any new developments in your family. If I remember correctly, you are expecting developments about the 15th of this month. Hope you do as well as Fran. She was not a day late after all. Mother just looked at the calendar wrong.
Vaya Con Dios,
Dad.
