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.

Send me anything you want posted

Corale's Observation about Web Site, Non-Edited

Dick.....I love the web site....is it really that hard to keep up..............for my age I lead a very busy life and I am sure the younger folks are even busier.....I would like to add the things I have found out and search for, doing  for  a number of years now......our heritage and the folks we came from that made us a lot of the way we are........but......you said no one was interested..........so I did not go on further with it...........may be you are right     but with the hits you have had   you are probably ahead of a lot of other web sites.calm down...........your life so full you can't maintain your heritage.   Since April of 2010 2 of the Sam Goesch boys are married or engaged   Eric married Cassie in April and Kurt just got engaged to Winnie Yung....Eric is 23 and Kurt is 26.  son Alan is off on his Morman mission to Colorade, age 20, missing home but growing up at the same time, last son Bret is almost 6'7'', age 16, junior in hgh school.   now there is one big boy.  Sophia Stehr, age 23 married Michael Hsu in Aug of 2009, right after they graduated from Rensselaer in Troy NY.  She goes to MIT in Mass. getting 2 masters and a PHD in Civil engineering.  At the moment she is in Cambodia.  Her major focus is concrete....smart gal! Michael's heritage is SRI LANKAN.   Still have 3 more children to report on  if you are interested.....let me know....I hope you come to your senses and do not take the no contact look from the rest of the family so personal.....they are busy and if you remember we are a strange family.....how many people  do you personally know who are just off the road a bit???not in the ditch ,...and besides who knows what normal is if there is a normal.......as for me I am facing Knee replacement the end of Jan.  Last Feb 1st I had kidney surgery for possible kidney cancer,  I proved to be clean from that.   then when I got ready for the knee surgery they did ultra sound on the veins in my leg and found I had 3 blockages, 2 in the right leg, one 50%, one 75%, so had the roto rutter for that...have a 50% in the left leg as well, need to replace the hip that crushed the ball 20 years ago, so do I need another roto rutter in the left leg?   As for my colon 1/2 removed about nie years ago, because of growths that had not turned to cancer,,,,, no bag needed just be careful what you eat is my motto, and being lactate intolerant, keeps me off ice cream and butter, which helps the high cholesterol the doc tells me is genetic.  Of course the diabetes is about 10 years old now so watch that with care as well..............want to put this on the web feel free, they will all hear about Corale that way.    Life is pretty good, live in a lovely old home, built 1935 , on the Willamette river,  on almost a acre of land.   GG just turned 75. I will be 76 in Feb,  GG says he will not retiring for at least another 5 years, be 80 at that point.  His health is good has all his part and pieces. 4 employees and 5 vehicles.  Want to know more stop by some time..........cousin Corale......Grandme may have said SHIT, but so do I...........

My Observation of Aunt Vila Who Was 107





My Aunt Vila lived to observe her 107th birthday.  

She was fun-loving, fearless and strong.  She birthed all her children at home. The only time she was in a hospital was in 2007 when she broke a hip.  She had to endure a lot of hardships through out her life, but yet was happy to live a long life.   

She had no regrets and observed  "I just lived my life and everything just fell in just right."
