Here, gathered in our beloved South Dakota, are a few members of our Williamson / Mattson Clan. Charles and Luella are to be blamed (be kind, they didn't know what they were doing). We're generally a happy bunch and somewhat intelligent (notwithstanding our tenuous grasp on reality). I'm also proud to say that most of us still have our teeth.

Aunt Bev's Photo Album. 1977 / 78. Spearfish South Dakota / American Fork Utah

From the Fortress of Solitude
Pleasant Grove

Good Morning!
Today I continue posting pictures from Aunt Bev's Photo Album (wife of John Mattson).  In this weekly installment of The Mattsons, A History in Pictures we see the children have grown.  This post also has the last pictures of the family in their Spearfish home and the first pictures of their new home in American Fork, Utah.  Aunt Bev was raised in American Fork.  Returning to Utah was a dream of hers.  She could be close to her sister and parents.

Simply,
Victor
