 Walt smiled into the camera...

 ..."The Glenn Miller Story"
Made in 1954
Alton Glenn Miller (March 1, 1904 – disappeared December 15, 1944) was an American big-band trombonist, arranger, composer, and bandleader in the swing era. He was the best-selling recording artist from 1939 to 1943, leading one of the best-known big bands. Miller's recordings include "In the Mood", "Moonlight Serenade", "Pennsylvania 6-5000", "Chattanooga Choo Choo", "A String of Pearls", "At Last", "(I've Got a Gal In) Kalamazoo", "American Patrol", "Tuxedo Junction", "Elmer's Tune", and "Little Brown Jug".[4] In just four years Glenn Miller scored 16 number-one records and 69 top ten hits—more than Elvis Presley (38 top 10s) and the Beatles (33 top 10s) did in their careers.[5][6]While he was traveling to entertain U.S. troops in France during World War II, Miller's aircraft disappeared in bad weather over the English Channel. This great musician was born
in 1904 and disappeared
on Dec. 15, 1944 when his
plane was presumed having
gone down in the English
Channel when he was flying from
London to Paris to put on a 
Christmas Band Performance
for the World War II radio
program.
We had seen it several times
but it was the first time for Gary.
We all liked it a lot.

Kimble’s journey is one step closer to his dream. We were lucky enough to go to New Jersey and be with Kimble on his graduation day from Basic Training. He accomplished so much in that 8 weeks. Now we will enjoy having him home for a short leave. 
Love my baby boy and proud of the man he is. My momma heart was bursting with pride yesterday and it overflowed and may have leaked right out of my eyes all day.
                  Kimble was impressed when he saw
                 the stripes on his Grampa Petersen's

*** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***
We are so thankful for The Plan of Salvation
and the Atonement of  Jesus Christ
that makes this Great Plan operational.

At the end of this May 26th,
we pray you have had a
restful , peaceful, and spiritual
Sabbath Day...

We share these truths as our testimony to you...

Heavenly Father lives and knows us each by name. He loves us and wants us to return to Him and Heavenly Mother when we leave this mortal existence.  He loves us just as we are at this very moment.
*** *** ***
Jesus Christ came to earth as The Only Begotten of the Father and fulfilled the Atonement. He is the Redeemer of all. 
*** *** ***
Joseph Smith was foreordained to be the Prophet of the Restoration.  He is the Restorer of all things.
*** *** ***
President Russell M. Nelson is the Living Prophet today for all the world. 
*** *** ***
The Bible is "the Word of God as far as it is translated correctly" and is a Testament of the Divinity of Jesus Christ.
*** *** ***
The Book of Mormon is the Word of God and is Another Testament of Jesus Christ. It is the most correct book of any book on earth.
*** *** ***
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the True Church on the earth today.  
*** *** ***
Of these truths we testify in the Name of Jesus Christ, amen.
