The lose of Elden has been extremely hard on the family. Brit and Tay always knew him as "Compi" and was basically their father . Their father Bryan was killed in a Motocycle accident when they were very little. Brit 3 years old and Tay 16 months. Trisha has never remarried.

I have wonderful memories from Laramie High. In particular my business class taught by Ms. Blacker where Jimmy Vialpando ran the roost. He was such a tease with her, she would just let us do our thing basically because he would talk her into it. We got our work done but the deadline was always when we wanted it to be. Once we finished it, she was always so pleased. Jimmy would always tell her, "told you we would do it"

My husband, Elden was in the Air Force when we got married in 1964 and was stationed at Williams Air Force Base in Phoenix, AZ. I loved being there and being in the service. We had planned on making it a career, but family got in the way. We returned to Laramie.
