My Dad Lyle, was Ruth's oldest brother. Some of my fondest memories as a kid was when our family would take our yearly vacation and drive from Los Angeles to Idaho Falls
and visit the Christensen family when they were all young and still at home. Ruth worked in an ice cream store and would spoil me with chocolate scoop cones. In their beautiful home with the big picture window in the living room, I was fascinated by Grandma Cora's organ with all those stops and pedals. I was so appreciative that Ruth could come to my
Mom's funeral (Nettie) in 2114. Another fond memory was seeing her husband Blaine sing
with the MOTAB Choir at Carnegie Hall in 1976 (I might be off a year or so). He came out to the lobby afterwards and My wife Jill and I visited with him- what a great memory! We'll miss them both...
