4 Bits and tidbits

Kay's family

A March 23 post by Ike on Facebook: "There's nothing like coming home to discover your house has been robbed and they have taken every electronic device!" That does not sound like good news at all.

Kay reported that Ike's son Carson, who is a junior in high school, has been offered a football scholarship to Purdue University. Way to go, Carson!

Gene's family

We talked on the phone with Cheryl on the day before her birthday. She said that she and Gene had gone to Texas to visit some of her family and to visit Kelley and Rhonda. They had a good visit. Ronnie drove down to Moab to pick them up on their way home, and they stopped in Ogden to visit Lynda in Ogden and had a nice visit with her.

Dean's family

Kate Halverson was born at 7:08 p.m. on Friday, March 23, to happy parents, Pete and Anna Halverson. The baby, who was delivered at home with the help of a midwife, weighed 9 pounds even and was 19 1/2 inches long. She is Pete and Anna's second child, Dean and Claudia's 22nd grandchild.

Jacob Cleverly, a sixth grader at Heritage Elementary in Layton, Utah, placed 15th out of 100 contestants in the state geography bee held at Thanksgiving Point on Friday, March 30. Jacob is the almost-12-year-old son of Michael and Shauna.
