Sunday Special
We are Ancestors, Too!
A couple of weeks ago,
son-in-law Larry Johnson asked if I remembered all the cars I/we had had
- we were talking about my 80th birthday and our 60th wedding
anniversary coming up. I’ve been thinking about that ever since… At the
time, I recalled this post of my first car:

I’ve been looking through old print photos attempting to find some of
24 or so other cars we have had. In the process, I’ve run across other
photos that should be shared with stories in line with this post - “You
are an Ancestor, too”:

Lions Club President in Urbandale, Iowa
This is about 1976, Gene Walker on the left is turning over the Presidential gavel to me as the new President of the Urbandale Lions Club. I had served as Third, Second, and First Vice-President of this long time club and was very proud to serve the community in this capacity. It was the leading service club in the city at the time. We sold a lot of light bulbs and made many financial and volunteer time contributions to the community every year. I ended up qualifying as a 100% President, whatever that means, meeting all the criteria expected from the position. It was a happy time. Serving others brings happiness, as we should each remember.
Simply memories, but important ones!!
Families are Forever!! ;-)
