Some bad news
David's credit card was just compromised in the South in a Walgreens. He was concerned that all of you may have problems with your cards if they have hacked into the Trauntvein name. He has an early-warning program so that if anything over a certain amount is charged, Bree is warned on her cell. He doesn't know how much it will be nor how much he will lose because it hasn't come through Chase Bank yet.
Bad News
From Brandon (who, like Todd, makes his living in the world of credit card transactions),
He should be able to charge it back as unauthorized transactions. The merchants involved will need to produce a signed receipt showing that David authorized the purchase, or the merchant will be required to eat the charges as fraud. He shouldn’t be on the hook for any of the unauthorized charges.
His credit card issuer should close his account immediately and issue him a new card with a different number – if David contacted them already, they probably already did this.
He needs to dispute the charges within 60 days of when they hit his statement. He should still try to dispute them even if it has been longer.
Chances are, no one hacked in looking for Trauntveins. It is much more likely that David’s number was stolen as he was using his card (by a store clerk or restaurant server), or by some employee of a merchant who has access to that information. Or it is possible that a store’s information was hacked into.

David wrote: Well it was actually a debit card. I was worried because when I called the store manager last night he informed me that several cards were used by the same people for multiple gift cards that were purchased. I thought these people couldn't have done this unless the names were the same (or an idiot cashier). He couldn't tell me the names on the cards, just that they were credit cards a Discover, American Express, and I don't remember the others.
Just thought I would warn you if that was the case. Also they somehow manufactured a duplicate card because I have mine and the bank has not issued any other cards on my account.

Todd wrote; Professional lingo. Like he got skimmed. Not hacked.
David wrote: Also, the bank said that I have to wait up to five business days for the transaction to post before they can take any action. Walgreens can't reverse the transaction because the card is cancelled and they have to have it in hand.
Melanie wrote: This is exactly what my credit card company told me. They closed both cards and reissued new ones with new PINs. I also got free credit report accounting from Chase.
Also, the disputing is easy to take care of. Every debit/credit agency now has a fraud department. David only has to fill out the forms and within days he will be credited his money back.
Mine was probably compromised in the airport when I traveled to Utah. I use cash for travel purchases now.
Kirsten wrote: That happened to us last year, but it ended up not being a big deal since we didn't authorize any of the transactions and Chase is a very big bank, used to these type of situations. I talked to them over the phone about which charges weren't mine, then signed some additional paperwork regarding the unauthorized charges, and it was done within 30 days... Had new cards within a week.

To Todd
Myrna wrote: Todd, it does sound like you are getting back to your life. That is good.
Dad bought a new battery for the clock in Kirsten's guest room while we were there helping after the baby was born. Between our visit and the baby blessing, Kirsten's mom-in-law stayed in the room. When we arrived for the baby blessing, the clock didn't work again. Julie Waite was driven nuts by the tick-tick-tick. Dad said, "And that was a brand-new battery." Sometimes it pays to be hard of hearing. ;) As for me, I grew up with ticking clocks and they just remind me of my room at home. I had a wind-up alarm all my school years.
We are so happy that you are doing so much better. What a milestone. Back to driving! (AnnMarie tells me that she really objects to using more than one exclamation point at a time or I would have used a bunch. I thought you might be like her. Of course, Kirsten tells me that she objects to those who think they have to comment on every post someone makes. So, there you have it.)
We pray that you will continue to heal quickly. We love you! Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Birthday ahead. You should have received your card. I am sending this to Amy also, in case you are so overwhelmed with email that seeing another one just makes you groan.
Todd wrote prior to the posting above: So, there is a clock on the wall in the bedroom that is battery powered. It still goes tick-tick-tick. At 4:30am this morning, I took the battery out of it. I didn't sleep well last night. Kept thinking about too much on my mind. I was hoping to get a good rest in because I have my eye appointment today and didn't want to show up there tired. Oh well.
Picked up my truck Saturday evening. I drove to church yesterday and back. Spent the afternoon at home, didn't get in a nap, felt really stressed. Now, I have a headache today, I think from not getting enough sleep and the stess of yesterday. I drove in to work today. Had to go around a detour that I forgot was there since I haven't been driving. It has been a good morning at work though. I've been able to meet with people for their reviews, and get caught up on e-mail (a never ending task for me).
I have physical thereapy in an hour and then the eye appointment. Taking my quick 5 minutes to type something to you all, in case anyone was curious how I have been over the past couple of days. I'll add more tonight.

Musical at TimpView
The musical starts at 7:30 and went until 10:30 last night. They hope it will end earlier tonight.
Alyssa finally got in the primary cast after all of these years of lesser roles, and they messed up her name in the program. She is Alice, and they put some other girl as Alice. They can't reprint all of them either. So watch for the girl in the short blond wig. It is Alyssa.

Leon Gourdin Bjarnson
1923 ~ 2011
Leon Gourdin Bjarnson, our dear father, grandfather, brother and friend, passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday, the 19th of November, 2011. Courageous in life and death, he was born May 17th, 1923 to Ingimund Ray and Flora Gourdin Bjarnson in Springville, Utah. On June 12th of 1946 he married his "lovely sweetheart" Eva Jane Smith, who preceded him in death on February 18th 2011. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple on June 25th, 1954 as they became a forever family. He will be greatly missed, but is having a wonderful reunion.
He was happy in his childhood at home with his family. He graduated from Springville High school and afterward attended Frye Aircraft School in Salt Lake. Then he was off to San Diego California and worked for Solar Aircraft. He was drafted into the service of "his country" for WWII in 1943 where he served proudly overseas in combat and ultimately as Staff Sergeant in Germany. He returned home and worked at Geneva Steel while attending school for a four year machinist apprenticeship. He and Eva Jane then built their home in Springville.
He served in the Elders Quorum and as a counselor in two Bishoprics. He served as Bishop, Stake High Councilor and Stake Executive Secretary and other teaching and service capacities. He was proud to serve in the Priesthood. He and his wife served as guides in the Provo Tabernacle. They also enjoyed service in the Provo Temple. Later they served a mission together in the Hawaii Visitors Center, which they treasured immensely.
He enjoyed family vacations, fishing, work, home and service. He would say, "We love everyone", and he meant it.
He is survived by his four children; Linda Craig (Jim) of Mesa, Arizona; Karen Miner (Sherl) of Springville, Utah; Diane Poulson (Alan) of Springville Utah; Steven Leon Bjarnson (Margo) of Mapleton Utah; 21 grandchildren and 36 great-grandchildren; his brothers Hosmer Bjarnson of Orem, Lynn Bjarnson of Mapleton, and a sister Joyce Simpson of Springville. He was preceded in death by his parents Ingimund Ray and Flora Bjarnson, sisters Wilda Bjarnson, Rosalie Daybell Kirkwood Morgan, a brother Glen Bjarnson and a grandson Marcus Ash.
The family wishes to express their sincere appreciation and love for all those who showed him love and those special people from Community Nursing Services and Hospice of Utah, especially Becca.
Funeral Services will be held Saturday the 26th of November at 11 am in the Hobble Creek West Stake Center, 555 South 600 East (Averett Ave) Springville, Utah. A viewing will be held Friday evening, the 25th of November, from 6-8 pm at the Wheeler Mortuary, 211 East 200 South Street Springville, and prior to the service on Saturday morning from 10:00 am to 10:40 am. Burial will be at the Evergreen Cemetery.

I'm sorry but I just can't place that woman. I don't think I have ever seen her picture. She doesn't seem at all familiar. Donnette
From Myrna:
I wonder who she is? I thought my Grandmother had told me that she was one of Grandpa Ray's sisters. Maybe not. My grandmother only had one sister and two sisters-in-law. I knew them all well and she is not one of them. Sometimes I wish we could ask the things we were too inexperienced to ask while they were alive after they had gone to the other side (and get answers). I thought I paid attention. There is no writing on the photo.
Love, Myrna
From Donnette:
I don't think she is Beatrice or Viola. And not Cynthia, Melva, Dolley orPearle. I just don't know and Richard didn't either.
I agree with you about wishing we could ask about some of these great pictures. I wish I could name all the people at Nellie (Mary Helena) Shouler's wedding.

Eric and Factor V
