April 1999 Trip to Provo:

• Lewis, Dianne, Laura and Dave flew to Provo to attend the BYU graduations of Rich, Sharon, and James.  Mom and Aunt Eileen hosted a family open house for all the graduates, which also included several other graduates on the Lewis side of the family.  It was a special evening honoring the graduates!  It was fun also to see many of our immediate and extended family there.  For example, it was nice to see my Cousin Jimmy, Aunt Anne, Uncle Elno, and other relatives I haven't seen for a very long time.    
• Sunday we were there for the blessing of Elijah, our second grandson, son of proud parents Sharon and James .  What a special weekend!
