Scans from Donnette for Our Project

The Fantastic Five

This is from the group down in St. George, Grandma in particular. 

Bree spent 9 days in rehab and graduated. She completed a 29 day course in that time. Her insurance wouldn’t cover any more time, so she new she had to do as much as she could in the time she had. She got a great CD from her counselors. Bree is going back to work on Monday, the 18th. She has forced them to implement their Drug Free Workplace policy, they actually fired several people. She told them she wouldn’t come back if they didn’t. I am really proud of her. She is going to her meetings very regularly and her outpatient follow up with her counselor down here. David goes with her. They both are doing fantastic. David has a new job, was promoted, but don’t ask me to what. He doesn’t have to go into people’s houses any more, and he really likes that. 

David and I really enjoyed the family camping trip. I wish Bree could have been there, but she was where she needed to be. The kids had a great time. The Kids. They are doing incredibly well. Erin is way ahead in school (of course), and Donovin can write an “e”. He is going to be way ahead too. Donovin has the hardest head of any kid I have ever been around, including his mother. I feel privileged to be the one that has to fight with him over everything. 

It is cooling off down here, finally. The weather is wonderful and we love being outside. Went to the Rodeo and both Donovin and Erin love the horses. Donovin was particularly enthralled with the bull riding. There is just no telling!! Well, I hope everyone who reads this is doing well and are happy. See you next month. I read these newsletters. I think Grammy Myrna is great and we are all lucky to have her in our lives. Leonard too!

BYU Wants Photos

Dear Myrna,
Did you get a letter from BYU about your grandfather being a Mexican Border Volunteer. I took so long getting Richard's rememberances of the war ready to send - and just sat on it for so long - and finally got it mailed last week. I had Richard's remembrances and pictures and Claude's and Raymond's pictures and the pages you and Richard signed giving them to BYU. Anyway - Richard got a letter from them which I will enclose. I hope you can read it.

Donette: Did they say what kind of scans they needed? JPEG or TIFF or ---?

Are you supposed to email the new scans or send them on a CD? Did I send all those pictures to you? I don't seem to have them in my files?

Donnette

Myrna: They want them as JPEG. They want them to be large and clear so they want them scanned in 600 dpi or better. I have all the photos except for the one that has all of the volunteers in uniform. I think that you must have sent that one to me. You can either e-mail it to me in the larger format or directly to them at saintsatwar@byu.edu.

I need to know what you want to do. 

You know, I think I remember that photo and remember having it but I put all of those old photos into the acid-free clear sheets and mounted them on acid-free paper when we were working with them earlier. I just can't seem to see that one and all the others are together. I will keep looking today.

Do you have a photo of the men with their guns where they are not aiming them? I understood from the caller that they wanted that one. The one I have has them holding the rifles but aiming them.

Love, Myrna
