FLORENCE EVELYN HUNTINGTON

1916 - 2012

This oehfamily web site is dedicated to Florence Evelyn Huntington. Florence was the biggest supporter of the family web site idea and content. It is amazing that in her later years that she got her P/C and high speed Internet and learned email. She has also read most of the web site.

As the family interest turned to zero, Florence said “Don’t worry just keep the site going. They will come back.” She sent me a pack of photos for scanning. I returned the originals and used her images are in various articles.

Thanks Florence for your support and encouragement.

Small news of my youngest family members

On Saturday Seth competed in his summer league swimming championships. He won an individual gold metal and anchored his relay races. He and Dale spent the night with Uncle Mike and then had a big adventure Sunday. They joined approximately 60,000 people for a once-in-a-lifetime walk across the new mile long Tacoma Narrows Bridge. From there they took in the dinosaur show http://www.thenewstribune.com/news/local/story/108200.html at the Tacoma Dome.

Mike's report follows:

"The Dinosaurs were unbelievable. Life-sized, looked and moved like they were real. Amazing sound and light show. When the mommy T-Rex came out at the end to protect her baby, my heart stopped. When she roared, our bones rattled. The kids were on the edge of their seats. We were in the front row. Had to look straight up when the dinos leaned over the edge of the stage. Their tails swooped over head when they turned.

The bridge was a deal, too. Never seen such a mass of people. Caught the bus at the Tacoma Comm College. Kids loved the bus ride as much as the bridge. They dropped us off about 1/2 mile away at the top of the hill going down to the structure. We walked out to halfway point. Looked over the edge and looked up at the columns. It was like standing under King Kong."
