.....My first cousin Eva Smith's daughters Elva and Goldie and first cousin Dolly's daughters Linda and Doris came. And, I also had the pleasure of having Goldie's husband George Young among my company as well.
.....When I was young, we called out visiters "company." Well, When Doris called and said that they were coming, I knew that we were going to have company. It was like the old song, "Company's Comin." Well, although my wife had to work and missed the fun, my dogs and I were happy to see company coming. We do not have a lot of company. So, neither my dogs nor I know how to act properly. My dogs made quite a fuss becuase they were so excited.

....I did get his name wrong. The little feller is Mr. Hayden James Saffell. He is Doris' grandson. Doris is Doris Ann Meeker Newman. She is getting wrapped up in geaneolgy like I am and wanted to pick my brain over a few things. Since that is a tough thing to do, I promised her I would send her some files.
