Dear Family,

Rina, your letter activates this decker. We had not received a letter from anyone for so long that
we were beginning to wonder. You sure sound like a full time missionary. The more power to you! I
don’t see how you can miss if you turn “High Pressure” Pancho, loose on those people.

Speaking of Missionary work. We received letters from Mimi and Johnny Meeker that really got
us stirred up. Mimi says that her Mother is about ready to join the church. We are delighted. We have
heard nothing from Marion though, so maybe it is just wishful thinking on Mimi’s part.

Mother and I went to the funeral of old Bill Young yesterday. Everyone thought that his brother
Phillip would pass away first as he looks like he is on his last legs. Marta you should remember him, he
was the Grandfather of the girl you palled around with here.

Rina, the Anglina, who were our Landlords on Wintstel St., moved to Mesa. They sold their
property to Lonny and Lannete, or almost gave it away, (18,000.00 for both houses and that big lot),
anyway they rented the house we lived in to a middle aged couple and night before last the woman shot
herself.

Mother is about the same or maybe just a little better after her therapy. She keeps taking pain
killer and when her leg feels good she does not know whether it is the pain killer taking effect or whether
it is better. We finally got the exercise board just yesterday. She says, so far she does not know if it
hurts or helps.

David is through school and is assigned to a ship. We think the following is his address. We took
it over the phone and it may be wrong, but I am sure if you write to him he will receive it.

L.D Mckay B 801707 USS SHMMERS (shig (DDC-34) U.S. Navy Shipyard Hunters Point San Francisco, CA
94135

This ship is being remodeled and will go to Long Beach when completed. Long Beach will be his
home station.

Hey Rina! Does this excursion you plan to the slant eye country mean that you are not coming to
the Main Land this next summer?

You McKays in Utah have just about had it. Bill, unless you have shot out your light again there is
no reason you cannot write out in camp in the evenings.

Robin, I will get around to answer your letter. Tell Renee and Boo, not letter, not pictures.

Love,

Grandpa
