Continued.....

I have tried going back when I was younger.....But that isn't the part I
want to share with you....It was when my life began....when I met Dad.....There was
a new light that entered my life.....It was like I saw the Sunshine for the first time.......Like the curtain was open....And the light shone in.....And I had a twinkle in my eye that wasn't there before......How many people feel a twinkle?....
It's so hard to explain.....But looking back now....There is only one answer ....
There was divine intervention early for some reason for me.....Not that my
life had some glorious purpose.....But that what I was given in heaven....was an
assignment I was to share with someone else.....Because when I became acquainted with
this blonde haired boy ....whose hair was so thick he had to have it thinned when he
went to the Barber.....My life was never the same.....It was just something I knew....as well as I knew that 2 and 2 was 4.......
Another thing that was strange.....was that how I first noticed him....
was one day in School....South High School.....Our eyes met....walking down the hall.......And then...it was like....MMmmmm!......And then again.....later on our
eyes met again.......And then I was inquisitive....And I started asking my friends...
who this boy was.....We had never spoke......They all told me.....That were in any of his classes......That he was an athlete.....and he hung around with all the
guys who played sports...........No one knew much more than that......He had never
asked a girl out on a date.....ever..........But anyone who knew him said....He was
a cut-up.......And he was always making everyone laugh...........One of my friends...
said.....that he was in one of her classes......On several of the days when the girl
cheerleaders were excused to practise..............He would just get up and leave
with them.......Mrs. Christensen who was the teacher.....liked Wally and she smiled
and knew he was a prankster.....and just let him go.....She called him Wallace.....
And my friend said he got away with murder in that class.....Because Mrs. Christensen
liked him............
There are a couple of funny stories I have to share about South High.....
The principal of the school was Miss Dyer.......And remember some of Dads brothers
went to South before him.....And one was his brother Bill.....Well Bill was somehow
one of Miss Dyers proteges.....He was a high honor student and excelled in all the
right things that pertained to school......He went to University of Utah with high
honors and went in the Military and was a Lieutenant Governor in the Navy....He enlisted for life.....and that was his career.....But ended up being very good
friends with Miss Dyer.....They were just good friends....Bill married Pam who was
an Australian.....and had a lot of money....But couldn't take it out of the country.....So they kept going to Australia and bought jewelry to bring here....that
was the only way they could get their money out......Anyway....Miss Dyer and Bill
and Pam became very good friends later on in their life.....They spent a lot of time
together..........In fact...Bill was also good to Grama Nielsen.....He gave her thirty dollars a month for the rest of her life.....That was a lot then....It sounds
tiny now just mentioning it.....But he honored his Mother.....Even tho he always
smoke and drank.....and died of Cancer......Grama Ruth always spoke highly of Bill......If you guys remember when we lived on Meadow Moor Road......Dad and I had
Bill and Pam with the rest of the family over for a party......And Dad wouldn't
let them smoke in the house .....they went outside.....And I didn't own a coffee
pot....and they said....They would never come to our house again.....And they never
did...............That wasn't the story I meant to tell you.....But was a little bit
of history........In fact I have a real pearl.....or something that is really worth
a lot in my jewelry droor.....that she gave all the girls....We were to have it made
into a necklace or a ring.....But I never did....It cost too much......

Anyway....I wanted to tell you of Miss Dyer because she is part of the
funny store I wanted to tell you about Dad.......She became acquainted with the family because of Bill.....so she knew about Dad....and kinda watched out for him.....Well.....One day.....It was snowing.....And Dad couldn't find a coat to wear
to School....{ South }.....An Grama made him wear Laverns coat ...and it had a fur
collar.....to school.......Well some kid made fun of Dad....And Dad was a fighter....
and Dad beat him up ...broke his nose and knocked out his two front teeth.....Well
when this kid got to school....he went into the principals office..[Miss Dyers}...
and told him Wally had beat him up.......In the meantime wally had reported to his
home room class......When all of a sudden....Over the loud speaker....came.....this
call....."Will Wallace Nielsen report to the principals office?".....Dad went in
and....of course....Dad told her the story....And Miss Dyer knew that the family
was struggling because she had helped Bill with finances in going to Utah....and then
on to his profession.........and she said to Dad...."Now Wallace....what is this I
hear about you?".....And after she heard the story......She understood....Dad was
a stud athlete wearing his sisters fur coat to school........But grama Nielsen was
just a doll.........She loved her boys....And didn't want pride to get in the way
of their getting the sniffles......I loved her so much......That was only one of the
funny stories......This is long now.....so I will finish later........

Lovin ya all..............Mom....Grama Tiki...Grama Wonderful.....
