March 14, 1967


Dear Family,

Bill wrote, (I don’t know if it was the result of my dire threats). He says summer is almost in Roosevelt. It is only 16 degrees at night and some afternoons it does not even freeze, Brrrrr! The coal pile held out and the spuds held out and Lloyd is a sweet tempered little angel.. How could he be otherwise with that name?

Rina has a Primary President’s telephone. It has one of those shoulder gadgets and a cord long enough to reach any place in the kitchen and dining room. She gets on the phone in the morning and before she has finished her conversation she has done her dishes, swept the floors and started preparing the next meal. She is the Ward Social Director also. Last Saturday we had a Ward picnic at the beach, believe me that phone had a work out while she was preparing our part of the pot luck.

The Jaspersons, our Tucson neighbors, are here. There was no place for them to stay so we doubled up here. We were able to rent a two bed room cabin at the recreation Center at Bellows Air Force base for a couple of days. It was very nice. Right on the beach, with everything furnished. We would have stayed longer except that the Grandson had sightseeing plans for them.

To-day, Mother and Sister Jesperson are going to a Secret Relief Society meeting! That is a R.S. birthday celebration is planned, but no one knows just what is planned- but the R.S. Officers. They are biting nails trying to figure things out.

There may be a possibility of our coming back space available by air. They stopped all boat travel from Hawaii. If we do get space available we will land at Travis and will depend upon you Marion to pick us up. We will let you know long before we depart.

There is no other news and it is just about time for some of you California people to write remember,

WRITTERS GET GOOD COPIES

Love,

Dad
