Dear Archie and Mabel:

Hate to worry you unnecessarily but thin I should let you know that Irvin is in the Hospital in San Diego. This morning he got dizzy, and passed out for a few minutes. Then when the neighbors and I got him on to the cot (he was in the garage with it happened) he vomited blood so took him to the hospital. He seems quite himself to talk to so it wasn’t a stroke but a hemoridge. The doctors are checking. They don’t think its his chest but seems to be in his stomack or maybe an ulcer. Anyway hope its noting too bad.

As soon as I can find out I will let you  know. They gave him an x-ray, and stuck a tube down in him. We had to come back to Fallbrock tonight. My neighbors were with me. The doctors will check some more. It is a good hospital and I am sure will get good care. I think they will transfer him to the veterans hospital if he has to stay awhile. He seemed to feel quite well this morning before it happened and ate his breakfast as usual. Well don’t worry too much and I promise to let you know as soon as I can see what develops, He does not seem to be in any pain at all and talks quite strong and sensible as usual.

 

Love, for now, Marion

December 1983

Dear Friends,

This year we’re trying to get our cards out early so we can sit back and enjoy the holidays. Also, we want to pass along our new address.

We had a very busy 1983. It began with a vacation to Florida in January. Believe it or not with all the traveling we’re done, that was our first trip to Florida and what an enjoyable one it was, too. In addition to the tourist attractions, we visited old friends Mel & Ruth Daniel and Dixie & Mae Johnson.

Being in real estate Ken is always running across nice houses, so the inevitable happened – we moved April 30^th. The month of May was really hectic trying to get settle and preparing for Cindy’s wedding on the 28^th. She married a nice young man, Paul Barnett, from Adelphi, Maryland. It was a beautiful day and they had a lovely wedding in the Crofton Baptist Church. Stephanie was her maid of honor, along with two bridesmaids. We were so happy that my folks were able to come. Cindy and Paul bought our “old” house, so we kept it in the family. It’s nice to have them near. Cindy has taken an educational leave from the airlines, so is attending school as well as working for mortgage company.

In July Ken and I flew to Wichita for my 30^th high school class reunion. We were overseas for both the 10^th and 20^th, so that was the first time I’d seen many of my classmates since high school.

Stil filled with wanderlust, in October we met our friends Fred & annie Stumme in Munich. From there we traveled to Augsburg, Garmisch, Stuttgart, Zweibrucken and Frankfurt – spent 10 days reminiscing and visiting old haunts. Needless to say, we stuffed ourselves with that good German food—schnitzels, fired potatoes, cake smothered in whipped cream. The weather was atypical—absolutely perfect. We had such a good time!! The Stummes spent a few days in Berlin prior to meeting us, and went on to England for a visit when we returned home. We just felt we shouldn’t be away any longer.

Stephanie came home with a ring the other night, so we’re going to have a 1984 wedding. She’s marrying a fellow she went to high school with—they’ve been dating about three years. We’re very pleased. Our family is growing quickly. Stephanie is still with Logicon—going on four years now.

Our door is open if you’re ever our way. Hope each of you is blessed with a healthy, happy 1984!!

Love,

Marilyn

Christmas ‘83

 

Hi – Merry Christmas from Minnesota. Was such a lovely surprise to get a phone call from Chris last winter. He & Bud had quite a chat judging from all the news bud relayed to me. Great to hear.

We’re all just fine. Our life has changed a bit since Kathy graduated in June. She started at Minnesota State U in Sept. It’s about 75 mi SW of us. Has been getting home every 2^nd or 3^rd weekend so don’t miss her too much.

Bud is working Sat thru Mon. 12 hour mid shift. Works in the computer room & loves it. (I call it retirement!) Gives him lots of time to party during the week.

Shel is at Northern Telecom. A computer firm west of Mpls. Seems to be doing well just started selling Amway products etc. p.t. She sounds so optimistic about it.

Val works for Metro WW Comm. Also, but in St. Paul. Has been there 5 ½ yrs. & likes it very much & doing well.

I worked p.t. at a garden & apple orchard about a mile up the road from us. The season just ended and I miss it – really enjoyed it.

Still have 2 leagues & occasional volunteer work.

My folks are just great, both retired now & loving it. They go to Oregon for a few months after xmas. Dad started golfing last year & just addicted to it.

Hope this finds you all well.

Blessed Christmas & Great ‘84

 

Love Barb
