Thoughts and stories, by Pal

My daughter Anita's son, Ben Lieske, sang in a concert here in the St. George Tabernacle on June 30, 2013, just before he went on his LDS mission to Taiwan.  I am accompanying him.  He now is married, and both he and his wife are going to Southern Utah University to become music educators -- teaching choir in a high school, etc. Both Ben and his wife Ashlee have great voices, and Ben has had several tenor leads in operas and musicals, both in college, and in high school.

This is a short part of the video we took on my husband Wayne's 70th birthday.  It tells a well-known family story of when he and his twin brother Blaine were in the army.
