Welcome

Patty, Susie and Dick invite our cousins, family and Halcyon friends to our FAMILY and HALCYON MEMORIES blog. I thought it may be fun for us to share our most favorite, precious memories of our life and times growing up in Halcyon - and remembering - and honoring - the many people that helped us along the way. Do you remember the spontaneous gathering when Uncle Bob Lentz "found" Bernard? Many of us came together in Halcyon to hear and tell stories (and enjoy Peppermint Schnapps). Remember Dr. Gerber being the most perfect emcee while I was recording the conversation using a little tape recorder? I still have the cassette tape from that evening. How many more stories are there to be told, that we can pass along to our children - and their children? I am hoping this blog gives us that opportunity. Two ways to join in the fun! First, please COMMENT on any post with your own memories, reflections. Second, BECOME A POST AUTHOR (contact me to set up permissions) and post your own memories or treasured photos.

Uncle Bob and Aunt Opal

Awww, I grew to love Bob and Opal so much in their later years.  They were the most loving couple I have ever met - doing things together - traveling so many places - and always seeming to be so kind and loving toward each other.  I'm sure there is another side - but this is my sweet memory of them. 

Bob always was a wonderful conservative counterpoint to Dad's liberalism.  Dad often would get frustrated talking with Bob, too.  I enjoyed Bob's practical view of life.  But when I was little, he sort of scared me.  Maybe because I was mischievous.

Gotta go now - but there's so much more to write about Bob and Opal.
