Dear Friends and Family—
It’s hard to believe another year has gone by. We hope it has been a good one for all of you. It has been for us. We’ll catch you up on all the Westra Clan.
- Scott and Amy Westra: are living in Draper. Scott is a CPA working for Workman’s Compensation Fund of Utah. They added a beautiful little baby daughter, Kemery, to their family on Aug. 5. She joins McKenna—age 5 1/2, Alyssa—age 3 l/2, and Kellen—age 2.
- Chris and Sandy Westra: are living in Fayette, Utah. Tired of all the commuting to Provo, Chris changed jobs this year. He now works just 5 miles from home as a Substance Abuse Counselor at the Gunnison Prison. Their 3 boys are Conner—age 6 ½, Kadan—age 4 l/2, and Corin—18 months.
- Wendy and Rick Jensen: are living in St. George, where Rick is teaching Seminary at Pine View High School. Wendy is teaching Sign Language (ASL) at Dixie College and Rick is teaching Computer Classes there and for an Internet Company for a little extra money. Their daughter Janika just turned 3 years old and their son Jase just turned 1.
- Jeni and Grayson Blackham: are living in West Jordan. Grayson is a builder and Jeni has a successful booth at the Quilted Bear Boutique in Midvale. Their son Landon turned 3 in Sept. and they are expecting another baby boy in March. They are soooo excited!
- Shane: is in the Architecture Program at the U. of U., which keeps him EXTREMELY busy! He’s often up there 24 hours a day! He will get his BA degree in the Spring. He did manage to build us a pond and waterfall in our backyard this summer—it’s almost finished anyway. He is our computer expert and tries to keep all our equipment running smoothly. He was our ward’s Webelos Leader for the 16 months since he returned from his mission to Brazil, but has recently switched to the Young Adult Ward.
- Derek: is 16 ½ and a Junior at Cottonwood High School. He works at “The Store” and has lots of terrific friends--both male and female. He is a great and caring person who always tries to do what is right. He enjoys sports and art and music.
LaMar is still working at Unisys. Margie volunteers at the Family History Center Wed. mornings and at the Surgical Center at Cottonwood Hospital on Fri. mornings. LaMar is the Stake Family Search Director and Margie is the Ward Family History Coordinator. Margie’s other hobbies are flower gardening and computer. Besides genealogy, LaMar’s other hobbies are genealogy and genealogy! We won’t have to be worried about him being bored when he retires someday.
We hope you all have a happy and healthy 1999!
Love, The Westras
