Re: Toy airplane for grandkids

Al, Thanks for the entertaining "How To" on building a spiffy airplane for grand kids. Next time the grand kids use it, take a pic and send it to us.

Years ago I built the girls a toy airplane out of an old water softener. I used to put it on my creeper and give them rides. They liked it, but the neighbor boys really liked it. After the girls outgrew it they took it to their fourplex and let the younger kids play in it. it got pretty rough and was thrown out a few years ago. I decided to build another on for the new grandkids. This time I put wheels on it, and also made a Youtube video.

Thanks Johnny,

Yes, i missed that "search" button. My ADD has always been a problem.

hi Al,

The link that you gave me, (http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/BERENDO) if you didn't notice, has a search button to the extreme right. It takes you to the following link:
http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/search?aop&path=BERENDO . There you can search all the Berendo list messages using a key word such as "eddy". I did that and got one hit with your dad mentioned in it.

HI Johnny,
Yes, that was their 50th party on May 2 1987. I'll attach one more, which is all that I have digitized.
Your links are much better than the one I found here.

Hi Al,
Thanks for the pictures. They're great! I'll put them up on the Berendo.net site. Can you tell me the approximate dates by any chance. They seem to me to be 1980ish. Was the occasion your folk's 50th anniversary? Is that your house and yard in the background?

As far as your Rootsweb question: Are you referring to the stuff found at http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~jdumas/berendo//berenstr.html (Berendo Stories). There's a link on that page that takes you to your account of Manuel's memories at this link: http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~jdumas/berendo//manual.html. I don't know if there is a facility that Rootsweb provides to search individual sites if that's what you want to do. We just happen to use Rootsweb's freepages to store various Berendo pages but Rootsweb really knows nothing of them accept that I administer them. I might not be understanding you completely, so straighten me out if I've misunderstood.

Hi Johnny,

In going through mom's stuff I found these extra pictures. If you wish, put them on the Berendo group. I also found in her note A mention of Manuel's memories on the Rootsweb site.
I found the rootsweb site here, but is there any way to search it for specific subjects?

Re: Google Earth

Hi Gang,

I don't know about 3D, but I did notice that there is one swimming pool in the Berendo area. It is at the house across the alley from the Latourell's. We would have known about it if it had existed in our time. The closest other swimming pool seems to be at about 111th and Hoover.

Hi Al,

I just read Henry's letters. Boy that guy had a way with words. I could almost smell the places he described. Everyone should read them to see what war is really like. No adventure you would really want to experience.

Also of interest are the war letters from Henry.

Re: New album

Thanks Al, for uploading all the old 1940s photos. Lots to look at for an old codger like me. Great family shots! Loved the pics of Yuma and McAllum(?). The old plank road through the sand dunes was something my Dad told us about - How their car broke down while trying to drive on it when he was 6 or 7. You looked like you were trying to get the motor started on that hand saw with your Dad, Ray and Marla looking on :-) I'll have to magnify Manuel's letters, but I'm looking forward to reading them.

Johnny

ps: Do they ever have earthquakes in Yuma? It looks like the house could easily fall off those piers. - j

Thanks, Johnny, for expressing so well what we all feel in our hearts as we say a fond goodbye to our dear friend and neighbor, Lamora. She will always be alive in our good memories of those halcyon days on South Berendo, and will be missed as the wonderful friend and role model that she was to us all.

To Lamora

Dear Lamora

We will all miss you Lamora, you were a good mother to all the "Berendo" kids. As with most mothers many of your accomplishments have gone unsung. The little day to day efforts and struggles of child raising were where you shown. Thanks for the many birthday parties thrown and for the many trips to the movies and other events that you drove us to and for the consolation and first aid you gave us when we bumped or scraped a knee. And for the many free lunches I had at your house because I just happened to be around. Also thanks for being friend and good neighbor to all our mothers. I remember in particular the "Hen Parties" that were held in each other's homes where the knitting, crocheting and tidbits of gossip and experience were shared.

Rays of sunshine upon you where ever you are,

Johnny Dumas
