Dec 27, 2010

Do you remember celebrating any special wedding anniversaries of your parents or grandparents?

Yes, it was my Grandfather and Grandmother Hansen's 50th wedding anniversary. It was celebrated in Centerfield, Utah. That happened 0n June 25th near the June 10, 1965 actual 50th wedding anniversary date. We had a family picture taken and of those that were living by that time the only three missing were Stan (on a mission in Argentina) and Alma and Jean my cousin. Three other cousins who had been born and passed away in childhood of course were also not in the picture. It was a big celebration and besides the approximately 50 family members that were there we also had a lot of people from Gunnison, Manti, and Centerfield (and that is only a few of the towns where they came from) come who knew Grandpa as a Stake President and holder of many other callings in the church in that area. He and grandma were loved by many people whose lives they had touched through their service in the church and community. He was also a Patriarch and gave over 6 hundred Patriarchal Blessings. It was a fantastic time for all of us.
