4 Bits and tidbits

Lyle's family 

Lyle will be getting married on Saturday afternoon, July 21, in Caldwell, apparently (if we understood him right) to someone named Nina who used to know Barbara and Lynda from way back in Big Bend days. We should have more details next month. This will be Lyle's third marriage. He has been widowed twice.

Dean's family

Our daughter Anna (yes, the one who just had a baby in March) did a triathlon sprint in June at Daybreak here in the Salt Lake Valley. She swam a mile, rode a bike for 10 miles, and concluded with a run.

Our daughter Mary and her husband Vince will be running a half marathon in a couple weeks at Bryce Canyon National Park. Vince a few weeks ago also participated on a team that ran the 194-or-some-such-insane-distance Wasatch Back Ragnar. The race began in Logan and ended in Park City. Crazy, no.

Relatively speaking

I spoke on the phone with our cousin Kent Palmer. He said Aunt Berniece, his mother, is doing well in Tooele. She is in better health than any of her children and says she is going to outlive them all.
