This is the only reunion
I have missed so far, I was in California helping my grandson Matthew get
born. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it!! I
took this from the journal — Carla
May
25,1980 as written by Max Iverson
Some of the Levi Iverson
Family met at the A-Z Ranch to hold the second annual family reunion.
Garn and his boys arrived
at the ranch on May 23rd and remained through the 25th.
Harley and Merna and
family came to the ranch on May 24th and spent the day.
Max, Nita, and family
made it to the ranch late on May 24th and stayed until May 26th.
Duard and Glenna brought Mom out on the 25th and spent
the day. Boyd, Judy and their two boys also came out on Sunday, and
sojourned for the day.
Some of the activities
included a few games of horseshoes, two roaring baseball games in the big
wire corral, several good games of tetherball, with Hal prevailing as
winner over his Dad and Max.
The horses made several
trips around the cistern hill but only after Duard was talked into
catching them.
Cyle, Tom, Bob, and Max,
after viewing some of the nicer meadows on the North side of Diamond
Butte, with Garn and Duard, continued over the top of the butte. While on
top of the butte the four that made it watched while the vehicles left
five of the younger Iverson clan, to figure the best way back to the ranch
house. After some minor confusion- all was cleared up, with all getting
rides back to the ranch.
A very large pot of chili
was prepared along with fried potatoes and other goodies. Enough
to satisfy every ones urge for food. Three freezers of home made
ice cream topped off the meal, as the beat kind of dessert.
All who were able to
attend, seemed to enjoy the occasion, Those who could not be there were
missed. Grandma expressed her disappointment that there was not at least 3
or 4 times as many present, and in agreement with her a much better time
could have been had if all were here.
P.S. After some 400 lbs of lead was scattered around
the home place the rabbit population was decreased by two. |
