Getting Started

The year was 1965, and these two beautiful people met in French class at BYU. They soon married, and created a beautiful life together. Their union has taken them to places they never could have imagined as they posed for this picture before heading off to Prom.

But each came to their marriage with a rich history and heritage. After the birth of my first daughter, I presented these two lovely people (my parents) with a "gift". Ok, it was a "gift" I hoped they would give me -- I gave them each a book entitled "Grandpa/Grandma, Tell Me Your Memories". There were 365 questions about their past lives -- glimpses into what makes them who they are. My hope was that they would take time each day to answer the question of the day, and return the books to me and my new daughter on her first birthday -- a treasure for her to cherish throughout her life. It didn't quite materialize like I hoped, but I do have one book almost full, and my hope is that this blog will serve to expand upon the information I have to create a story of the life and times of Don and Marsha. I will publish one question a day, along with the answer I have. I will leave it up to Don and Marsha to edit and expand upon each entry. At the end of the year (or however long this takes) I hope to have this blog printed and bound for each member of our family. Let's get started...
