November 1986

When we moved from Kennewick to Richland, we made friends with a family in our ward who owned a photography studio, and they kindly offered to take some pictures of me.

I belonged to Kennewick High's jazz choir, Mad Hatters....

Dave's Missionary Farewell

Oh, how I loved Dave, from about age 13 - summer of 1983.  Seriously.  Loved him.

I really needed the spiritual strength this trip gave me.  When I came home, my family was a mess.  So grateful I had this experience to remember and crawl back into when I needed to feel some happy.
