Ray & Maralyn Harold "seven": 2008 Reunion and Dad's 80th Birthday Celebration

Jana's in charge

I am hoping to update and regulate the family blog. I hope to make it relevant to all and invite you to each contribute. Since contributions have been tricky, I have decided to be the blog master and all your contributions can be sent to me via email and I will post it, unless you know how to get on. Every so often, I will e-mail each of you and ask for some family updates and photos so we can all see where we all are and what we are all doing! Doesn't it all sound like sooooo much fun? ~Jana

Melinda said...: Mom, I went in and added a link list. It has the links to the three of us cousins that I know the blog links to. It's there at the very bottom on the right. That way, people can use this as a center-of-the-wheel blog, where all the known family blogs can be found or something. Hope you're okay with that!; June 2, 2008 at 12:15 PM

Ray & Maralyn Haroldsen

Ray & Maralyn were married in 1929. Fifteen year later, they were raising 7 children. Ray worked all day as an Electrical Engineer and often a farmer by night. Maralyn kept the kids active and always encouraged them to learn and work hard. One thing Ray always wanted his kids to do, was to grow up and be good friends. The kids are now all grown and have their own families. Despite their variety of talents and personalities, the kids are the best of friends. In 1995, the family lost Maralyn to Cancer. While Maralyn was growing weak from the illness, the hospice nurse commented that the family home was a house of peace. The Ray & Maralyn family has now grown to 79 (not counting 3 grandbabies on the way).
