Today was the first
annual L.A. Iverson Family Reunion. It was held on the A-Z Ranch on the
Arizona Strip.
Note should be taken of
several interesting happenings: Boyd was the first to arrive, (he had
breakfast on Diamond Butte at 5AM.)
Harley and Merna were the
last to arrive, (wouldn't you know it)
Mary was the first to
leave, (surprised she made it at all.)
Mom was the oldest person
there, (80 last Nov. 12th.)
Bobbie, 2 was the
youngest, (She is Tris's.)
Duard was the only one to
have a grandchild there, (except for Mom of course.)
Chrissie stomped a mouse
to death. (sweet kid)
Everyone rode the horses,
except Mom, Mary, Nita, and Dick, (scared.)
George and Chico didn't
have a lot of fun, (the kids did.)
The big kids, (Dick,
Nita, Tris, and Bonnie) played scrabble.
Garn was in charge of
kiddie entertainment, (with George and Chico's help.)
Max and Mary cooked
chicken, (enough for the Mormon Battalion.)
All told there were 28
people there, (there were 59 invited.)
Shame, Shame! Harley's
family took first prize for having the most members there, (Harley we owe
you a prize.)
Boyd and Carla had a tie
on having the least family members there, (you can tell they are not the
family monarchs Grandpa was.)
Every one of Dad's kids
were there, (except Lee, not even a wish I were there card.)
Despite the wind, sun,
and dirt, everyone seemed to had a swell time. A vote was held, and
everyone that voted was in agreement to have a reunion again next year,
(details will follow.)
Anyone that has family
news, please let Lee know, he is now the family record keeper. (See what
happens when you don’t come.)
See
you all next year!
