Our Year in Review

Calvin J born January 26
Our 16th great-grandchild

January 31
Hale Theatre production of "Born Yesterday"
with Barb, Dennis and Denise.
I did the show in 1970. Hale's "Billie" was prettier
but our "Brock" was better.

Extensive improvements on 7th East and 114th South  were finally  finished.
We now have a direct shot down 114th that takes us within two blocks of Barb's.

Discontinued DISH  satellite.
With an indoor antenna we get  all  networks, 3 BYU channels,
a couple of PBS ones, and some in Spanish.  All for free.

April 7 -- Lauren starred as "Kate the cursed" in their
school production of "The Taming of the Shrew".
I had also done that show in 1967 and the musical version
"Kiss Me, Kate!"

April 10 - Calvin's blessing.
If you click to enlarge, can you name all the people in this photo?

Eggs and prizes for everyone.

Grandchild #17, Claire Julia Warren, born June 28.

Love having 3 helpings of soft ice cream.

Everyone in our building was confined to quarters on July 18th  and 19th.

Reagan was in the orchestra; Jane was in the cast,

Everybody got to stand on the winners' platform.
