Max and LeGrand

LeGrand remembers his brother Max even though he was only a little boy when Max died.  That terrible scouting accident is still a horrible memory for the little town of Blanding and especially the families of those most directly affected.  A troop of young scouts was riding in the back of a truck on a dirt/gravel road when another big truck  hit them head on.  Three young boys were killed and the scout leader later died of injuries and a broken heart.   

This picture was taken not long before the accident.  It is comforting to have a snapshot of time that helps us recall pleasant moments.

Grandkids and Photo Halloween Fun

My own kids were sadly cheated on the whole Halloween Thing.  We had a football uniform, a newspaper bag, and a prisoner uniform.  These served our family well and cheaply for many years.  If the kids didn't want to be a newspaper boy for the 4th straight Halloween, we figured they were too old to Trick-or-Treat. 

But now our childrens' spouses have attempted to stop the sins of the parents and transform Halloween into a mystical and wonderful holiday for our grandchildren.  And what could be more fun for Grandma's new interest in photography?  Thanks for indulging me by allowing another camera invasion of your territory!  Just in case any of you get desperate, I think we still have the newspaper bag.
