Terrence Olson, a cousin of the Olson family in Station Creek, came up from Provo to speak at the fall meeting sponsored by the Franklin County Historical Society. The topic of the presentation went along with Veteran’s Day, considering some of our local heroes from past wars. Olson’s father, Stanley Olson, was a pilot in WWII who lost his life in a bombing run, but saved the lives of his crew. The attendance of the event was good and several of the Olson family from out-of-town came to listen and share memories. Terry Olson spent many summers of his young life with the Olson family in Mink Creek because his mother wanted him to have that connection with his father’s past.
Mink Creek is happy to have two babies born the last part of November. Kaci Baldwin had a little girl to add to her family. Cade and Leigha Nicholls brought a little sister to go with their son Peter.
Another grandchild announcement. Layne and Karen Erickson are beyond pleased to have a tiny girl joined their family ranks. She is the daughter of Connie and Adam Westenskow of Logan. She decided to come a bit more than a month early, but is doing well. She is the first child for the Westenskows.
ReNae Egley has been traveling with her friends, Jill Baird Hobbs and Lelan Daines, this time to Portugal and included just one day in Salamanca, Spain. They found castle ruins, statues of Portuguese heroes, high rock walls, ornate buildings built long ago. The beautiful countryside, green and lush, lots of vineyards and gorgeous gardens. The Douro River Cruise was a great way to see Portugal. We are glad to have her home.
Up here in the mountains we see beautiful sunsets that stretch to the west side. Yet, each night we wonder if we will wake up to snow on top of the daily morning frost.
Bill Despain has driven over from his place in Fielding, UT, for a visit with us. He lived in Mink Creek for a lot of years and became a close member of the community. He keeps a close check on how we are doing.
