Today is my husband Allen's birthday #78. He's just a youngster but much appreciated after 28 soon 29 years of marriage. He's had a full life being raised in Gatesville Texas then after attending University of Texas-Austin and graduating in Civil Engineering, he worked for the Forest Service all over. I helped him write his life story and gathered all these photos. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

New CALLING-Relief Society HISTORIAN
Working diligently to gather HISTORICAL information on our SUNRIVER BRANCH's history to put together two BULLETIN BOARDS for the church. It all began in 2000 when a Branch was created and a Branch President called in the new Sunriver development. A year later a ground breaking was held to BUILD A CHAPEL in our community. During the meantime we met in a neighboring Bloomington Hills building until our new chapel was BUILT AND DEDICATED on Sept 11, 2002. Now this year we will be celebrating its 20th anniversary! Fun but lots of WORK!
