Grandpa's Facts & Figures

As published in the Cottle Family Quarterly, Second Quarter, 1992:

Fact #1: Amy is now eight years old and yours truly had the honour of being one of the speakers at her baptism service. I know she understands what it means to be a member of the church and what great support it can be to have the spirit of the Holy Ghost to guide and direct her throughout her life.

Fact #2: It is a long way from Cardston to San Diego, but a lot of fun. We made our annual trip at Easter time, with Roger joining us in the sunny South. We did all the usual tourist things and played lots of golf.

Fact #3: Roger now has a MBA degree from the University of Seattle. Congratulations, Roger! As part of the graduation time, Brent, Kathy, Mom and Dad traveled to Seattle where they were joined by Craig, Kris and Samwise for the festivities. I can tell you Roger cooks a mean BBQ Salmon and Brent is almost unbeatable when it comes to Trivial Pursuit 80's edition, and if you want to see an unusual movie, check out "Delicatessan". Not your everyday formula Hollywood production.

Fact #4: Roger is a top notch host

Fact #5: Samwise gets cuter every day. Now if he could just figure out the difference between forward & reverse!

Fact #6: Jeffry is a creative story teller. There is a future politician if I ever saw one.

Fact #7: Jamie will be starting her last year of junior high school this fall.

Figure #1: 153. That is the number years schooling comleted by the Mel and Jean Cottle Family as of June 30th, 1992. A pat on the back to everyone, and remember "Knowledge is power".

That is funny that in 92 Grandpa was talking about how many years of education the family has recieved because just a little while ago he was telling Theresa and I about hom many degrees the family has earned. He is just really proud of our adademic accomplishments, I guess.

And keep these old entrys coming Kris, they are so fun to read.

Very fun to read. I love looking back to how young we all were and the things that we say.
