Garth: I dont rember the address but, yes, while I was in the Guard I was a member of this walking club. (We started it when we came back from Deseret Storm.) The Guard unit sponsored several walks around the area. Haven't done very much with them for several years. How did you happen to find this?
Myrna: I was trying to find a reference for the paper about walking clubs.

Questions for Barbara

Does Erin like the new school and has she adjusted to the change?

Is Bree going to get the money for selling all the homes? Did she make the sale completely or was it partially a company thing so that they will take the money and she won't get it? I have been hoping that the money will really come through for them.

In addition, I was wondering if you could open the newsletter from the Trauntvein family that I sent to you. Would you prefer a hard copy?

Love you, Myrna

Louise Edwards Nelson

Myrna, We spoke briefly at your father's funeral. I am Louise Edwards Nelson. My father was Vernon Edwards, your grandma Pitts' brother.

My father was killed in a farm accident when I was 16 years old. I am ashamed to realize recently that none of my children or my brothers children ever knew their grandfather Edwards, and never will know anything about him if I do not try to gather and put together something.

My father was always one to make sure that we kept in touch with family, but I am sorry to say that after he was killed we did not stay in close touch with his side of the family with the exception of brothers and sisters.

They tell me that you are the genelogist in your family and that you may have some information that I could use. I am hoping. What I am looking for is any information or stories about your grandmother Pitts family when she was young and the children were growing up out in the Uintah Basin. Anything that Tom Pitts may have written or told about their early marriage and freighting between Myton and Helper.

Your father was only nine years younger than my father. I know that they worked together as they got older and if you have any mention of my father there, or any stories of when they were kids, I would really appreciate hearing them.

Uncle Charles was 15 years younger that my dad so he knows nothing of my dad's childhood.

Please let me know if you might have anything that I could use in my father's history or if you know of anyone that might.

Thank You Louise Nelson lnelson@networld.com

Louise: I do have some things. I was wondering if you would mind being a bit patient with me. The sisters and I are trying to empty out Dad's house so that we can sell it. I think we are planning to be done somewhere around the first week of December. Give me a bit of time and I will get some things together for you.

Happy Thanksgiving from Auntie Eva Dixon

HAPPY THANKSGIVING  from me to you.
******************************************************
FIRST TIME TURKEY COOKER.

One year at Thanksgiving my mom went to my sister's house for the traditional feast. Knowing how gullible my sister is, my mom decided to play a trick. She told my sister that she needed something from the store. When my sister left, my mom took the turkey out of the oven, removed the stuffing, stuffed a Cornish hen, and inserted it into the turkey, and re-stuffed the turkey. She then placed the bird(s) back in the oven.

When it was time for dinner, my sister pulled the turkey out of the oven and proceeded to remove the stuffing. When her serving spoon hit something, she reached in and pulled out the little bird.

With a look of total shock on her face, my mother exclaimed, "Patricia, you've cooked a pregnant bird!"

At the reality of this horrifying news, my sister started to cry.

It took the family two hours to convince her that turkeys lay eggs!
Author unidentified!

********************************************************************************

The turkey shot out of the oven and rocketed into the air,
it knocked every plate off the table and partly demolished a chair.

It ricocheted into a corner and burst with a deafening boom,
then splattered all over the kitchen, completely obscuring the room.

It stuck to the walls and the windows, it totally coated the floor,
there was turkey attached to the ceiling, where there'd never been turkey before.

It blanketed every appliance, it smeared every saucer and bowl,
there wasn't a way I could stop it, that turkey was out of control.

I scraped and I scrubbed with displeasure, and thought with chagrin as I mopped,
that I'd never again stuff a turkey with popcorn that hadn't been popped.

***********************************************************************************************

Q: What happened to the turkey that got in a fight?
A: He got the stuffing knocked out of him!

Q: Why wouldn't the turkey eat any dessert?
A: He was stuffed!

Q: Why was the turkey made the drummer?
A: Because he had the drumsticks!

Q: When did the Pilgrims first say, "God Bless America"?
A: The first time they heard America sneeze.

Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Gladys.
Gladys who?
Gladys Thanksgiving!!!

May your stuffing be tasty;
May your turkey be plump,
May your taters 'n gravy have nary a lump,
May your yams be delicious,
May your pies take the prize,
May your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off of your thighs.
