SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 2022 Family is Everything…
Today our 65-year
Wendell High School
Class of 1957 Reunion
continued with a potluck
picnic at the
Wendell Idaho City Park
at 12:00 noon.
A sincere thank you to the
committee who planned
the class reunion:
Beverly Brownlee Mason, Chairman
Norman Keesler,
Reva Peterson Martinson in photo.
Beverly Barrus who could not come.
These are twelve of the
thirteen who could
come to the picnic:
L-R front row - Merolyn, Beverly,
Dale P., Doug, Roger.
Next row: Norman, Gaylene, Eileen,
Reva, Arla, MaryAnn, Dale M.
The gal behind Roger is his
wife, Deanne.
Lucile had been there, but had
gone home before the photo.
Jim had been able to
come to the dinner the
night before, but wasn't
up to coming to the picnic.
None of us took a photo when the
picnic was spread out. This table was so full, the hot items were
put on a separate table, as well
as the desserts.
Thanks, everyone for your
varied and delicious potluck items...
Winco fried chicken and rolls, Costco
meatballs and taco wraps,
Besides the hot meat balls. Reva
brought hot sliced ham.
There was also Simerly's
fruits and tossed salad 'n dressings,
Merolyn had crackers 'n cheese 'n salami,
Gaylene made a yummy orange fluff
salad, and Bev made a yummy
chicken oriental salad.
Arla brought home-grown
tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions
in vinegar.
Plus someone made the most delicious
rice krispy treats I've ever tasted,
plus cookies from Costco, and
some macaroons.
We had a lot more choices than
if the picnic had been catered.
We thank the city of Wendell
for the maticulous upkeep
of the wonderful City Park.
From there we went to the
Cemetery to put flowers
on Walt's grave.
Our headstone was just
installed this past March.
Our oldest granddaughter,
Aimee, designed it.
Bev came out, along with
Dale and his son, Nate, and
Roger & Deanne.
Entwined in the ivy scroll
on the back are ten things
that were important to
us in this life:
Counter clock-wise
from top right are:
1. A small plane --
Walt was a great pilot.
2. A typewriter
3. A stethoscope
4. An apple pie - our kids
maintain that my apple pie
is the best of any.
5. The Salt Lake Temple
6. A palm tree -- we
served 4 missions together
in countries with palm trees.
7. A camera
8. Skis
9. A basketball
10. The scriptures
Hope you can see better
on this enlarged view.
On our way out of Wendell
we took a photo of Simerly's.
We were very impressed
with this amazing home-town
store and all it has!
We were going to
spend some time at
the Cassia County Fair
in Burley on the way home.
However, I didn't have the
energy to do it.
I always ask for a moment
of silence when we go by
the old barn at mileage
marker 36 before
Tremonton.
It is exactly 100 miles
from Burley. Each year
I think it will have
fallen completely down.
But it's always there.
Thanks, Gary, for driving
me to and from this
special event in my life.
