  Heather and I were married June 8, 1974 in Shawnee-Mission KS.  Grandpa Holter's wearing a tux because he participated in our wedding... by reciting the Lord's Prayer in Norwegian.
  The wedding reception was held at the home of Joe and Jan Hutchison. They lived two doors away from the home of Gordon (my dad) and Jackie Giffin Stoa.  Jackie's mother Edith is in the upper left-hand photo.

  We travelled to Hatton ND in July 1976 in order to celebrate America's Bicentennial.  Jerry has always had the "gift of gab"... especially when it comes to discussing politics or the plight of the American farmer.

  After Jerry retired from farming, he and Esther would spent the better part of winter in Tampa FL.  For an 8 or 9-year period our family would spend the week between Christmas and New Year's Day at Bonita Beach.  We would make it a point to see Grandma and Grandpa while were were there... and enjoyed our visits with them.
  I've got fond memories of sharing Norwegian cookies, writing a little paragraph in their guestbook, visiting Jerry's sister Jordis and her husband Darrell (click to see a "classic" photo) ... and having BBQ ribs at "Polo's" restaurant.
