2015. July 4th is a special holiday to us! Personal History!
On July 4th, 1955 , which was 67 years ago today, my pen pal, Wayne D Eckman, to whom I had been writing while he was in the army -- came home from the United States Army, having been there with his identical twin brother, Blaine D Eckman for 21 months. They both were on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints from December 1950 to July 4th, 1953 . We met on a blind date in August 1953, set up by a friend of mine from St. George who had married one of Wayne's friends in Murray, Utah. We began writing the next May in 1954, when I had graduated from Dixie Junior College, with an Associate Degree. We were married September 24, 1955, in the St. George Utah Temple. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blogs 881, 1050, and 1146, 1244 and 1318 are all the same, with a few additions each year! --------------------------------------- I FIRST POSTED THIS July 4th, 2018,...
