DEAR Grandma and Grandpa,

Fancy stationery for the missionary grandparents

to Grandma and Grandpa

on a mission in Lawrence, Kansas

from Mark

21 September 1984

I HOPE you are happy that I have BUNKBEDS.  I am in school now.  My teacher's name is Mrs. Baden.  I have P.E. every Tuesday.  I have library every Wednesday.  Nathan and Emily are in 2nd and 4th grades.  I hope you have been feeling well.  For my first time I have jumped off a high diving board.  Maybe we can go to Cherry Hills together again.     MARK


Mark and Grandma at Cherry Hills water slide - June, 1984

Grandma willingly "volunteered" to take Mark on the water slide,

because he was too small to go alone. Yeah, Grandma!

 Yesterday Steve and I washed all of our dirty clothes.  It was much easier than I thought it would be, and I don't think it will be a problem at all.

9 February 1968

Friday afternoon I washed my clothes and studied health at the same time. This was fine except for the fact that I forgot to use soap. It took me about four hours to wash that particular day.
