Show PA LO.H BER J L 14 20 0 one stayed with us through junior high. They were Navajos with the Indian tudent Placement Program. It was a wonderful experience having them in the house. JEA: WIN: PAU: We also have eighteen grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren. Are your children located here in the area? The boy is in California doing mechanical work on large jobs, irrigation jobs, and large sewer plants, things such as that. The oldest girl, Christine, is here in Bountiful. She's in the decorating business, interior decorating. My other daughter, Pinky, as everybody knows her by, is a schoolteacher. I really don't know what her husband does. JEA: PAU: He does computer work at home, and we don't know much about computers. I don't have the faintest idea what he does. The youngest daughter, Pauline, lives in Price. Her husband is the engineer for the city of Price. We get together several times a year as a whole family. We are going to be in Wyoming over the 24th, and there will be some thirty of us up there. We are in fairly good health. I have some problems health-wise, but I am eighty-five-and-a-half years old and I feel like I should be forty years old, but I can't do what I did at forty. I have what they call Crohn's disease; I have pernicious anemia; and I have a little thyroid problem. WIN: You certainly look young for eighty-five. You must have taken good care of him. JEA: I hope so. 46 |
