1983 ~ Wendy's Write-Up

Wendy has kept a journal for years. That's been a great thing for family history. If we need details about an event, there's a good chance Wendy had something recorded. Below (check out Dropbox for a clearer copy, Word doc or PDF) you can catch her recap of 1983. While a lot of the details are about what a 9th grade/10th grade girl's life was like at that time, there is oodles of information about the family and other activities.

Scott left on his mission. Chris fell into the orchestra pit at the high school and broke his ankle. Wendy got her ears pierced, her braces off and got a perm. She loves waterskiing, tried snowskiing, and ran track. There was a family reunion for Mom's side of the family in June. A family reunion for Dad's side of the family in July. A fishing trip to Strawberry Reservoir. Griffiths came to visit. Mom&Dad went to Vernal. There was a Bishop's Youth Outing to the Uintas, big floods and a huge hail storm. The Westra's got their first family computer!  It's interesting to compare Wendy's wrap-up with the annual Westra Christmas Newsletter recap.  We still need a complete BLOG recap too, based on all the information and pictures we have for the year. But Wendy's write-up is pretty complete!
