7 March 1967


Dear Family,

Thanks to Bob W. I am writing this decker. He says Marta has not been feeling well the last few weeks, especially in the mornings. Maybe we should not have agreed to baby sit for them! Thanks Bob for sending along our mail.

You “Wild West” McKays are over two months delinquent on your subscription to this publication. This is the FINAL NOTICE. Either we get a letter from you, giving us the news of the family, especially Lloyd Edward, or ELSE! There is a Bert Gardner in this Kailua Ward who is from Roosevelt. I was talking to him the other day and he told me that the town of Roosevelt was loaded with his relatives.

Frank received a Dewalt, black & Decker radial arm saw with cabinet for Christmas and has been very popular with neighbors and Church groups since. I realize that your new saw and basement project keeps you busy at home Bill, but surely you can find a moment at school to scribble a few lines.

Our friends and neighbors in Tucson- The Jaspersons, have a grandson who in finishing a Mission this week. His Father and Mother are coming to go back with him and his Grandparents, much to our surprise, have decided to come along. The poor Grandson is frantic, because this Island is about to sink with tourists and he cannot find accommodations for them. We may have to bring them here and some of us sleep on the floor.

Mother has been bothered by a knee hurting her, almost ever since we have been here. If it does not improve, (we sent to the Dr. and he prescribed aspirins), we will probably go back to the Mainland around the first of next month.

We have been having nice weather, several times I have been able to take my shirt off and get some sun on my “pipes”, then yesterday Mother bound up her knew and we went to play golf. If people saw us standing under a mimosa tree, smooching in a blinding rain storm, they must have thought we were crazy. The bottom fell out of the sky and we had to give it up.

Lloyd, I received a letter from your Aunt Ruth. She said that she would come up the North Umpqua to visit us while we were there, to meet her new kin. She said she would bring goodies.

All Our Love,

Dad
