Jerry Huntingston's email comment to me about family memories sure add perspective to what we hope to accomplish with this family site."Most of the family drama of the 50's and 60's was over my head, not on my screen. I can remember visits from Uncle Earl and Grandma Huntington, Auntie Marguerite and Gordon to the dairy where we lived, and her funeral, and several of the family get-togethers at the golf course when Uncle Earl worked there. I remember riding with Corale to Hot Springs when brother Mark was born. Auntie Marguerite was always kind to us boys, and gave us Christmas presents. I remember visiting your folk's house in Deadwood, the soapbox derby that came to the dairy farm, and back trouble for your mother. I remember visits to the dairy from Clara, and have some recollection of Boyd as a young man (he wore neat boots). I also have faint memories of your wedding and Corale's wedding, or at least the excitement associated with those events. Finally, I know that there probably are as many versions of an event as there were participants, so I try not to put too much stock in my memory banks."

Yep, I'm a little surprised that Jerry remembers the Soap Box Derby Race Car. I think it took me and Ron about 6 days to totally destroy that race car. It was just not built to be pulled with a rope behind a running horse down a gravel road. Sorry Dick.

OMG what a funny comment and the vision is like the scene from the movie Fargo when they run the old gals body thru the wood chopper.
We didn't know what to do with the derby so I am glad it went fast %) But six days is a long time when you are carrying an anvil too!
