Great Grandma Verna Geddes is 90!


We had a wonderful time visiting with friends and family at an open house last Saturday to celebrate Gordon's Mother's 90th Birthday! Here are a few photos.

Grandma looks amazing at age 90. Check out her lovely cake!



Her children are Reid, Ethel Ann, Renae, Gordon, Jenell, and Kae.

Guests were able to view a display of photos, and Reid put together a slide presentation set to music.

Happy Birthday Verna!

Bringing Back Glory (AGGIE FOOTBALL)


Check out this cool image of my Dad, Grandpa Gutke, or as Aggie fans knew him, Butch Gutke. He played Aggie Football in the early 40's. He was even drafted to play football for the New York Giants. We have his letter of invitation. Unfortunately, he was also drafted by Uncle Sam to serve in the Navy during WWII. Military service came first. When the war was over, he became a football coach. I grew up attending football games and loving sports.

It looks like Kessee has designed a shirt featuring Grandpa Gutke. It sounds like we can order them. I will try to find out ordering details. You can check out the original post at lundbergs.blogspot.com/
