Pleasant Grove
Hello All,
The middle of July brings summer's hottest days to our pleasant valley. The heat, mixed with moist monsoonal air, clouds the late afternoons. Light showers generally follow, cooling and scenting the air. It is the best part of the day. It is the best part of our Utah summer.
I continue researching our family's history, spending hours every week searching for long forgotten ancestors. I want to tell their stories. I want to know who they were. My discoveries are posted on this blog for all to enjoy. Lately you'll notice a decline in the posted research. No, I'm not growing board with the endeavor, I'm just nearing the end of what's available. For some of our ancestors, a name on our family tree is all we will ever know of them. That, and the fact that they continue to live on to some degree in the very essence of who we are.
The limited information on our ancestors has given me an opportunity over the last several months to post pictures from our recent family history. These picture are posted so the people in them can download them for their own personal histories. Today, we continue by looking at pictures labeled 1985/86.
Simply,
Victor
