Dad & Mom
El & Grace Langdon
(At Dad's retirement - January 1977)
In December 97, we gave dad (he turned 84 in October '97) an early "Christmas Present".
An Acer computer to help him keep in touch with our widely dispersed family and give him a new challange. As a part of this new challange, he has started to set down some of his memories to share with us, the "grandkids", the "great-grandkids", and the world.
