Hey, family members,
Sorry I haven't posted since a couple of weeks ago. Been a hectic life the past little while. Things are settling down, a little, but since I'll be out of town most of next week, too, I may not resume posting for another week or so.
Meantime, Happy Fourth of July!

Don, you don't need to apologize for not writing. We all should apologize for our lack of participation. I just attended a Family History Expo this past weekend and it got me fired up to do some more stuff. One of the things I was thinking about was the fact that I don't have anything recorded, or at least not much, about my Mom. Whenever you talk to anyone about her, which I often do at the Billings Temple as we've had several Burlington people on our shifts over the past several years, they always talk about what a wonderful, beautiful, sweet soul she was. I know that to be true, but there ought to be more. Having been 16 when she died, and being such a knucklehead at the time, I don't really remember ever having an adult conversation with her. It makes me sick. I've decided I'm going to try to capture some history in the near future from Mark, Reanous and your Mom (Helen) to see if I can get some ideas about their childhood and what our family was like. Like, for instance, why did Grandpa pull up stakes from Idaho (Ideeho-as he used to say) and move to Wyoming. How did his family get to Idaho in the first place, etc. etc, etc. I have lots of questions and hope to find some answers. If anyone reads this and knows any of this stuff, please share it. I got very little recorded from Auntie Sis before she died as she never would talk about family stuff. She seemed to think I thought she was going to die if she talked about it. And she did! And I got nothing! And all the rest of my Lamont family is dead! How sad is that?! At least I guess I can write the history how I want since there's no one to dispute it. Am I right? (o:] Anyway, so Mark, Reanous and Helen, please put on your thinking caps and go back over your childhood and growing up memories as I'll be trying to talk to you about them real soon.
Thanks again, Don for keeping at all you're doing.
