Children: We have now four children ages 46 through 38, and 11 wonderful grandkids ages 2 through 20. Wendy had More…2 before we met and Lara Watts and i had 4. Wendy and i lost her youngest child we raised together, and we recently lost the youngest child Lara and i had, Annie, at age 37. We are grateful for the time we had them, and miss them both very much. Lara is doing well and raising Annie’s child, age 15, so well.
All our other children and grandchildren are healthy and happy.
We have children and grandkids spread out — Erin in Las Vegas, Grayden in San Antonio, Jaime in Amsterdam and Wyatt in SLC. They each have kids, all doing great.
Comments:

Wendy and I married 34 years ago and we are still doing well. I am still working full time in my law practice at Dewsnup King Olsen Worel Havas Mortensen, handling catastrophic injury and death cases, mostly defective products and medical malpractice.
We have traveled worldwide and enjoy life with our family and friends.
We've had great times and tough times, like all of us who live long enough do.
Hard to believe 51 years have gone by.
We still get together with my dear oldest friend Jeff Monroe, and his Jocelyn Green, to trade laughs, insults and stories. We also see Scott Paswaters occasionally. Scott and Andy Smith and Jimmy Boud and i were neighborhood hellions growing up. And Scott’s sons are buddies with our son Wyatt, it’s great to see these kids grow up.

School Story:

We visited Lamar Kelly a few years ago at his Heber home. He was our track team coach and has remained a dear friend. We recalled our 1970 championship team --the one and only, I believe -- and had some laughs.
I note our track team mate and friend Brad Sondrup on the list of departed, prompting a fond memory of the day he and I were standing on the football field during track practice. I saw a sophomore throw the javelin our way, he thought we were both watching him. But Brad was looking away, and it was coming right at him! I yelled and he hit the ground, and the javelin hit him right in his butt, two feet away from me. It bounced back and didn't even make a hole in his sweats. I was amazed, and hollered out that "Sondrup has an iron ass!" Meanwhile, the sophomore who threw it, 50 yards away, sees the jav hit Sondrup, and thinks he's killed Brad. As I recall he passed right out.
Turns out the javelin and Brad's sweat pants went 3 inches into his butt cheek -- coach Kelly stuck a Q tip covered with alcohol all the way in. We laughed for weeks and called Brad "2 hole Brad."

i am sad to learn of Cary's unexpected death.

Cary was a very smart, sharp and kind man; an excellent lawyer,  a good friend.  

I extend my sympathies to Cary's family.

I remember David, a great kid at Oly.  We were both born the same day in '52.  

My regards and sympathy to his family, he passed too soon.

Colin, saw your note about losing loved ones - sorry to hear that. Family is everything. On a lighter note, your story of the javelin in the butt is among the funniest things I've ever read. Thanks for that. Don't know if I told you, but my younger Brother Brad was closely associated with your brother Brian (sp?), one of the interesting twists of fate. Take care.
