The twins are at present working in Washington D.C. for the Government Ray and Smoot were fortunate to be able to drive them back and thus saw a good deal of this wonderful country of ours.
We were hit with a hail storm the first part of July and it cut everything but the trees down to the ground. We had gotten our first cutting of hay in a little late, so our second crop wasn’t up enough to get cut down.
Lee has joined the Army. He is finishing Basic at Ft. Carson, Colo.
Last May, Joan and Dick presented us with our third grandson, little Richard Smoot Nordhagen, Richy for short. He is crawling all over, I am so proud to report and is a very happy baby.
At present Ray is working in the woods near Missoula. He stayed with us most of the summer to help his Dad with the place as Smoot hadn’t been to healthy this year. He and I both have been sick a week each with very bad colds and coughs in October. We are both fine now.
Florence, Bill and family are still living in Shelby. He works at Carpentrying north of Browning and gets home only on weekends. Three of their four are now in school.
Dell is a junior in High School and just an average student. He got to play football and got many favorable comments.
