Harold and Carolyn Forgostein

Harold and Carolyn were close to our family, not just because they were "high up" in The Temple.  I think Dad and Harold worked side by side at odd jobs during the late 40s or early 50s.  (The dates need to be verified as to when Harold and Carolyn first came to Halcyon.)  Before they lived in the town of Halcyon they had a place over in Oceano.  They had us over for dinner there once that I can recall.  I also remember when the new Temple home was being built.  I helped dig dirt for the foundation - and I swept the bare wood subfloors in the afternoons so the workmen would have clean areas for their framing.  When I was five years old Harold made for me a small cement block with my name in it.  That was such a special thing for me.  He was working around the Temple one day and had a little bit of cement left over.  He poured some into a small can, and wrote my name and the year into that small piece of cement.  I kept that thing for a long time during childhood.  Harold was my Godfather.
