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.
