DEAR Fantastic, Amazing, Neverfail, Family,

Okay, don’t think I’ve gone whacko just getting older (and I am getting older 73 to be exact ) the more I realize the blessings I have been blessed with. I am very grateful for my membership in this family We have parents that used all the talents and virtues they had been blessed with to raise a great family. I am sure they look down and are so proud of the way we have stayed closely connected by writing newsletters and having our reunions. I know they are so pleased that we are carrying on the legacy they left us.
I am grateful to Newell for ramroding someone each year, to do this newsletter. Thanks, Shane and Nicolle for this year’s work. Sometimes we don’t like to do it but it accomplishes two things, it preserves a history and it keeps us close. Also grateful to Marilynn for doing such a novel newsletter last year. What a clever change. More thanks to Becky and Ray for typing up Dad’s army diary. It will become more precious as time go by. Years ago, I saw that diary in that little closet by the outside door and asked mother if I could take it and keep it in my care. She said, “Yes, and type it up and pass it around to the others.” Well, Becky found it up in my cupboard and offered to do what I have put off for many moons. Thanks again, Becky. for those the pictures of the Ray Humpherys siblings. They got them from Florence at the Ray Humpherys reunion. We had a very good time. Verl Humpherys will be in charge next time in 2011.

No trips for me this year, money went for; putting in a new fence, new kitchen flooring, and blinds. My faithful dishwasher, washer, dryer and car all went on the blink at the same time. Needless to say, it will be sometime before any more travel is on my agenda.

Where the idea (favorite pastimes) came from I don’t know, but I suspect I started with the question, I wonder who is your favorite Jazz player? Then realizing the whole family were not Jazz fans it changed to favorite pastime. It has been fun talking to all of you. I just asked ages 10 and over. So here it is…..After listing the favorite pastime…….the next column answers the what, why, where and when questions. Remember some answered for the present and some went to the past. ENJOY
