I
am sending you a copy of the newspaper obituary and a note that I told at
the rosary session where a number of people and family told about Art and
how he loved his family, his friends and those with whom he worked.
His funeral was a complete military celebration as well as honoring him as a
4th degree knight of
Columbus.
All 12 of his children were there with their families as well as all of us
living seniors and a very large crowd of friends.
We feel that he went
straight to Heaven and found Mom and Pop, his sister
Josephine, Brother Charley and his much loved Grandson Chris Holt
and many others. Love, Florence Gross

Hope all is well with you.
Did you find a job? I have not heard from you and was wondering how
things were.
I got the reminder you
sent regarding the newsletter. I wanted to let you know I am having
all my mail now sent to my house

The 691 Murphy Road
address is my old office address and I am moving my office in March, and so
I am trying to convert some of my mail to home.
Also, I thought you could
have a standing paragraph for me in the newsletter:
"I am descended from Isaac
King, brother of Sol King, and so share common ancestors with the Fromherzs.
I collect obituaries and family trees of the various branches of the Nahum
and Serepta (Norton) King family lines. I have over 1500 obituaries at
the present time. I would appreciate copies of obituaries anyone has
of recent family members deaths or of any obituaries people obtain in their
research past family members deaths. Please try to carefully and
accurately record the name, date, and town of the newspaper, and
the page, section and column number. This is especially important when
one is getting the information from a microfilm. Enough information
should be documented so another person could someday easily find the
obituary from the appropriate source, ie newspaper microfilm. I would
also appreciate copies of family members family trees. These should
record family members names, their spouse(s), children, siblings, etc., and
the dates and places of birth, marriage and death, and places of burial, if
any of this is known. Copies of death certificates also would be
welcomed. Any information I have on any family member is available for
any one. Just contact me. Thanks.

Holiday Celebrations from Don & Barb
Fromherz . . .
Hi Connie, I want to be as brief as possible. (Please feel free to edit this
to make it shorter) First of all, Alice is doing well. She has a very
limited speech vocabulary, but loves visits and mail. We do read her
everything you send, and thank you. She enjoys the memories and the news,
and remembers all of you.
The Don Fromherz branch has had a wonderful and eventful year. We started
with the birth of Emma in January. She is the new daughter of our daughter
Jenny, a special reading teacher, and Chris, a golf professional, and the
sister of 3 year old Brady, in Beaverton, OR. She is a great, little, spunky
girl with a ready smile. Barb retired in June after a 33 year teaching
career. She loved it to the end, but had forgotten the joy and creativity in
free time. Retirement is GREAT! Scott is finishing his final year of his
Neurology Sleep Fellowship at Stanford University. He is in transition,
finishing his education and looking for career opportunities. He also has
given us additional joy in becoming engaged to a beautiful young woman, whom
he plans to marry this coming March. Don and Charlie were able to enjoy
another weeklong Cycle Oregon trip in September. They were up for the
challenge and vowed to train for it again next year. As we ready for a
holiday season of family and friends. We Wish you all health, happiness and
a peaceful new year. We hope to be able to see all of you. Always, Don and
Barb
Hello from Wyoming . . .
Dear Connie and Jim, and all the Fromherz clan, wherever, and, whoever you
are!!! Greetings for the beautiful Indian Summer we've been
having, here, in Cheyenne, Wyoming, off and on, for the past two months.
By the time you read this, Halloween (All Souls Day), and All Saints Day
will have come and passed. Here, in Wyoming, we can pret'n-near count
on October 31st to be a nasty cold night...just in time to freeze the little
trick-or-treaters (but, they come, anyway...all of us "grown-ups" must
remember, with fondness, the Halloweens we dressed-up to go
trick-or-treating...I loved it, so did my younger brothers and sisters, and,
then, later, my own daughter and her friends...and, so, the happy tradition
continues!). THIS year, however, I'm going to make it a point to
attend Mass on Halloween day (a Sunday), and, on All Saints Day (a Monday).
I've grown older and wiser, and my priorities have changed (Thank
God!)....(I really mean that...Thank's be to God!!!).
Marge and Ryan (our daughter and son-in-law) came and we celebrated
her 26th birthday, the other evening. We made her favorite "Mexican
Chef Salad" (an "old family recipe" handed down from some friends of Roys,
who, when we were first married, invited us, two, to dinner, and said, to
Roy, "and bring your hammer, Roy!"....he has always been handy with tools,
and many people benefited from his generous nature and talent (including,
US!!!).
Mexican Chef Salad...one
large head of iceberg lettuce, washed, cored, and put in a "crisper".
A bag of baby spinach leaves, if you like to add more nutrition. Three
medium sized fresh tomatoes(ripe). Two large ripe avocados.
Green onions, sorted, washed, and chopped (however many you like)....(you
may, also, use mild sweet onions, one or two, medium, depending,
again...which you may chop)....Heck! Use whatever, and how many onions
you want to!!! A large can of good quality firm medium sized
olives...you may chop them, to your liking (after draining them!). 2
cups of red kidney beans (dry), which have been washed, then soaked in 6
cups of cold water, overnight. Drain them, and rinse well with fresh
cold water. Now, add about 6 more cups of fresh cold water, and bring
them to a boil, then, simmer them, in a crock pot or heavy bottomed pot, for
2 to 21/2 hours, or until tender and done. Now, drain them, again,
rinsing well with warm or cold water...drain dry...set aside, or in fridge,
until ready to fry burger and put the salad fixin's together to eat! (You
may, instead, use a large can of canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed...I
just like to use the beans "from scratch"...). Now, brown 2 or 3 lbs. of
hamburger (depending on how many hungry mouths you have to feed...), in a
skillet (sprayed with "Good Old Pam Cooking Spray"...only, because, I like
to use it for all my cooking...really does keep food from sticking, though,
it can buildup on your baking pans and cookie sheets where the food isn't
and the cookies aren't! Use a LOT of "elbow grease", then, to get it
off...). Now, drain the browned burger (BEEF, of course!!! I'm
from Wyoming!!!), and add the kidney beans to it, putting a lid on the
skillet, and warming, both, the beans, and the burger together, on low heat,
so as not to scorch. You can add a little salt and pepper, if you
like, but, not really necessary, since, you'll be using Pace Thick'n'Chunky
Salsa (mild, medium, or, HOT (like I like it!!!)), as a garnish on your
salad, if you want to. Shred a pound or two of sharp cheddar cheese
(or, buy it shredded). Get some sour cream, for sour cream lovers.
Buy a couple bags of Dorito's Corn Chips (Yellow Corn is the basic...but,
there are many other flavors which you might like, too). Now, get out
some large bowls for your guests (or family)., and some forks. Have a
bunch of various sized serving bowls and tablespoons, to serve the various
chopped veggies, cheese, lettuce, spinach, sour cream, salsa's (Taco Bell
Hot brand taco sauce is good, too!), hamburger and bean mixture, sliced or
diced avocados, chopped tomatoes, onions, olives, and large bowls for the
Dorito's. Marge and Ryan, sometimes, like to use Thousand Island Salad
Dressing, mixed with the salsa of their choice, to garnish the salad, too.
The whole idea, is to let everyone choose what they want to put in their own
individual salad, mix it up, add garnish (sour cream, salsa, Taco Sauce,
dressing...or "the whole shebang" mixed together, add the Dorito's (crush,
if you like...), mix, and ENJOY!!! Coke, Diet Coke (Diet Coke Caffeine
Free, for me!), or Pepsi, or Diet Pepsi, all, go well with this salad.
Be sure and make enough of everything, so everyone can take seconds...I'll
bet they will!!! P.S./ You, also, have my "permission" to mix
this salad, all together in one huge bowl, then, have each one serve up,
adding their own Dorito's and choice of garnish (salsa,sour cream, dressing
,taco sauce...combination, or, whatever!). Wait to mix the burger and
bean mixture into the salad, until you're just ready to serve, since, it's
warm, and can wilt the lettuce &/or spinach leaves.
There, now....ENOUGH!!!! (I hope my dear sister Barbara Guarracino,
from Phoenix, AZ gets this recipe, in the newsletter, since, I promised her
I'd get it to her???!!!). Thank's, Connie
Roy handmade himself, myself, and a friend, each, a new set of golf clubs
this Fall. They're beautiful! He ordered the parts from
Golfsmith, had quite a time getting them straightened out on his orders,
but, once they were shipped, they came "overnight" via UPS. A couple of
Sundays ago, on a very nice one, he and I, and his friend, played nine holes
at The Prairie View Golf course, here, in Cheyenne, very close to our home.
Roy's friend, Fred, raved over the clubs Roy had made, and that guy is one
bound and determined guy to master the game of golf and enjoy it!!! I
think, with that attitude, he has sure success coming!
Roy's "a natural", at golf...has been playing since he was 9. He's
very patient, and gives advice when one wants it. I kidded with my
hairdresser, the next day, telling her..."I tried so darn hard to relax!".
We, both, had a good laugh about that one! Thank's, Roy, too, for
winning first place in a golf tournament in Denver, a few weeks before, and
spending his $100.00 gift certificate on a nice new light golf
bag...for me!!! (His team came in first place).
Roy's learning "the ropes" of his new position, as Manager of Technical
Services for The Department Of Agriculture, State of Wyoming, since taking
his post on May 1st, of "04. He travels a lot around the State, to
meetings, and to check on his 18 employees, some, here, in Cheyenne, and
scattered around the State. He's capable, adaptable, and quite
committed to doing the best job he possibly can, and he does!
I'm the "Dutch Lunch" coordinator, for The Cheyenne Newcomers and Friends
Club, here. You don't have to be a "newcomer" to join, however, and
you can stay in the club as long as you wish! My duties, are to
reserve the restaurant, each month, that "the gals" choose (or, I choose) to
have lunch at, take R.S.V.P.'s, and let the restaurant know how many of us
are coming the next day (on the third Tuesday of every month).
Tomorrow, October 19th, we're meeting at Tivioli's Coffee, Inc., a coffee
shop, in the old chamber of commerce building, downtown Cheyenne, right next
to where the "gunslinger shoot-outs" are held during Frontier Days Rodeo
("The Daddy of 'Em All"), always the last full week of July.
There's going to be almost 20 women coming tomorrow, some, new, some, who
know many. It's fun!
I found out something interesting about myself...I NEED TO EXERCISE,
FREQUENTLY, to stay happy!!! I was walking, as fast as I could, for,
from 20 to 45 minutes a day, but, "THE DOGS" scared me, and, I didn't like
the yells I'd hear from occasional cars or trucks that'd pass me by while I
walked FAST down and back up Ridge Road (a busy road, but, less chance of
running into stray dogs, and/or questionable characters...). I bought
a small hand held container of mace, but, you're supposed to NOT spray it
INTO the wind...ya, right...when a dog is attacking me, ready to bite, like,
I'm sure going to stop and think, "Now, which way is the wind blowing?",
first???!!! Oh, well. I won't be deterred, even though, I,
accidentally flooded our basement, leaving the laundry sink hose running in
the washing machine "to help fill it faster", like I'd done a "zillion"
times before, went off and wrote some e-mail's, forgetting it, for who knows
how long?!! We had to take up the carpet in the family room, in the
basement, including our "dreaded treadmill" (which has a habit of never
working, unless one of us works it! Fine how-da-ya-do!), so, that form
of exercise is "out" in the garage, unplugged, for the duration (Roy says
it'll get too dusty if we set it out there...). ONE wonderful thing
about this whole mess, is, that that rug HAD TO GO!!! The previous
owners had let their dogs pee on it, and you all know, that can't be gotten
out, no matter what! I didn't want us to put a single thing down there
on top of that carpet when we moved in (May 1st, of 1999), but, some of you
might know, how THAT goes? Here, it was July, of 2004, and, if it
hadn't been for my (REALLY...HONESTLY...SINCERELY....ACCIDENTAL...)
"mistake", we'd still have that carpet down there. We've had a very
unusually damp Spring and Summer...gardens didn't grow worth a darn this
year, and, would you believe...we've had at least three bumper crops of
little white mushrooms grow out of that carpet, right up alongside and out
from under the bookshelf (Roy built), which is still down there, since he
hasn't had time to unscrew it, and take it apart!!! Anyway, what I was
getting at, is, this morning, after having a very "bad" weekend (feeling
"down", depressed, mad at everyone, and a regular hard to live with any
happiness person...poor Roy got the brunt of it...me!...), I got up out of
bed, right after Roy got up, at 7AM, and I dressed in old clothes, and
started running, and walking up and down our flight of ten steps. I
was flapping my arms up, like a chicken, and trying to not hit the ceiling,
etc. when I did, and once in a while, I'd do a deep knee bend or two.
THEN, I got a GREAT IDEA!!! I turned on our old stereo, we still had
plugged in down there in the basement, and I proceeded to begin
dancing-exercising to the "Oldies-but- Goldies" station. I LOVED IT!!!
I used to dance to my older brother Allen's 45's and LP's, when he wasn't
around, my little brothers and sisters, "bouncing" forward and back, on the
couch, in the family room, at "The Silverton (Oregon) Place", back in the
60's, after our mother died. They enjoyed my joy, sheer delight, I
had, dancing! Now, This morning, Oct. 18th, Monday, '04, I danced, ran
up and down stairs, and kept it up for an hour, slowing down some, whenever
the news was on, or a slow song came along. I LOVE IT!!! Now, I
can exercise...get those "Endorphens" (spelling?) revved up, sweat, have fun
(I've always loved to dance...), and do it, all, in the privacy of my own
home...no one to see me, but God, Himself, no dogs to worry about, no smelly
old noisy cars and trucks, no cold wind, ice, snow, blizzards, hot
sun...rain, thunder and lightening (YIKES!), to stop me! Again, I say,
like my mother always used to say, often, too...."Thanks be to God!!!".
Well, I'd like to call mom and dad, and Marie, again, tonight, on our cell
phone ("free" minutes, after 9PM, our time...)...I call most every
night...they never seem to tire of me calling, and always sound so cheerful
to hear me on the other end when they answer. Our brother John is gone
in Active Duty, I can't say where, in The Army Reserves, so, mom, dad, and
Marie have really missed his strong support and presence. Roy took he
and I out to Oregon this past first week in August (we drove 1,200 miles one
way) to Oregon, to visit dad, mom, and Marie, and some of my siblings
and their families, and he got to see some of his, too (Roy's family).
Roy knew how much I wanted (needed) to see and hug my dad, especially,...mom
and Marie, etc., etc., too, so, he gave up a week of his vacation to make
the fast trip (one week) out and back, as he had to continue training the
person who he hired to take his "old" position as Weed & Pest Coordinator
for The Dept. of Agriculture, State of Wyoming (Roy had that position since
Feburary 17th, of 1998), when we moved from Douglas, WY, to Cheyenne (a
"BIG" town, compared!!!)

Jane writes from
Kelso, Washington
Dear Connie,
The year has been very interesting for me...still eaking out a
living, but keeping up with bills at this time. I am working at the Red
Lion Hotel in
Kelso,
Washington. I am considered full time, but with the slow down in guests for
the Winter months, who knows. I have three hats while I'm there...I started
out as housekeeper, then was trained as houseperson, then trained as night
janitor. Housekeepers make the beds and clean the rooms. Housepersons wash
glasswear for the housekeepers, take away the dirty laundry, wash bedspreads
and blankets, put clean laundry in the storeage rooms, and help guests with
anything they need...it is a never ending job that requires thinking at all
times. Night Janitor does the heavy cleaning that can't be done when there
are people around. It is interesting work, but not what I really want to do
for the rest of my life. There are a few "perks" , me and any of my friends
and family can get low cost motel rooms at any Red Lion Motel, I get a free
lunch everyday, I can get mattress sets, computers, and furniture through
the motel at a real good price...so anyone who wants me to get stuff for
them need to get in touch with me.
As for my little family...it is getting bigger!
You remember that Adam and Bekah live at Neah bay and Adam is
in the Coast Guard. They have Little Adam who just turned three in
September, and the twins, Ean and Ethan who just turned one in June. They
have their hands full...Adam is so good with those babies, I am very proud
of him.
Annella and Jeremy have a little one now too. Little Nathan
was born in April. Annella and Jeremy are still in the Airforce, stationed
in Nebraska, but Jeremy was in Bosnia when the baby was born...he made it
home safely when Nathan was 4 days old, was home for a month then had to go
to Texas for training...he is home again as of a couple of weeks ago.
Originally he was supposed to be home in time for the birth, but Little
Nathan needed to be born early because of Pre-eclampsia, (I don't know for
sure the spelling, but I think I'm close) so it was a quick lets get him
home thing. I am glad that the Air force people actually cared enough to
let him come home early.
I have a beautiful little home of my own, three bedrooms 1 3/4
bath, a family room and an almost two car garage. I have redone both the
bathrooms, two of the bedrooms and am working on the kitchen...I decided to
leave the living room as it was because it looked good and went with all my
stuff. I still have the family room and one bedroom to do, and would like
to get the garage squared around to have my gift shop stuff out there.
Well, I'd best go for now...hope all is well with you. Jane

GRANDMA AND THE FAMILY TREE
There's been a change in Grandma, we've noticed her of late,
She's reading history or jotting down some date.
She's tracking back the family, we'll all have pedigrees.
Oh, Grandma's got a hobby, she's climbing Family Trees.
Poor Grandpa does the cooking and now, or so he states,
That worst of all, he has to wash the cups and Dinner plates.
Grandma can't be bothered, she's busy as a bee,
Compiling Genealogy, for the Family Tree.
She has no time to baby-sit, the curtains are a fright.
No buttons left on Grandad's shirt, the flower bed's a sight.
She's given up her club work, the serials on TV,
The only thing she does nowadays is climb the Family Tree.
She goes down to the Courthouse and studies ancient lore,
We know more about our forebears than we ever knew before.
The books are old and dusty, they make poor Grandma sneeze,
A minor irritation when you're climbing Family Trees.
The mail is all for Grandma, it comes from near and far,
Last week she got the proof she needs to join the DAR.
A worthwhile avocation, to that we all agree,
A monumental project, to climb the Family Tree.
Now some folks came from Scotland and some from Galway Bay,
Some were French as pastry, some German, all the way.
Some went on West to stake their claim. Some stayed near by the sea.
Grandma hopes to find them all as she climbs the Family Tree.
She wanders through the graveyard in search of date or name,
The rich, the poor, the in-between, all sleeping there the same.
She pauses now and then to rest, fanned by a gentle breeze,
That blows above the Fathers of all our Family Trees.
There were pioneers and patriots mixed in our kith and kin,
Who blazed the paths of wilderness and fought through thick and thin.
But none more staunch than Grandma, whose eyes light up with glee,
Each times she finds a missing branch for the Family Tree.
Their skills were wide and varied, from Carpenter to Cook,
And one (Alas) the record shows was hopelessly a crook.
Blacksmith, weaver, farmer, judge, some tutored for a fee.
Long lost in time, now all recorded on the Family Tree.
To some it's just a hobby, to Grandma it's much more,
She knows the joys and heartaches of those who went before.
They loved,they lost,they laughed, they wept, and now for you and me,
They live again in spirit, around the Family Tree.
At last she's nearly finished and we are each exposed.
Life will be the same again, this we supposed !
Grandma will cook and sew, serve cookies with our tea.
We'll all be fat, just as before that wretched Family Tree.
Sad to relate, The Preacher called and visited for a spell,
We talked about the Gospel, and other things as well,
The heathen folk, the poor- and then- 'twas fate, it had to be,
Somehow the conversation turned to Grandma and the Family Tree.
We tried to change the subject, we talked of everything,
But then in Grandma's voice we heard that old familiar ring.
She told him all about the past and soon was plain to see,
The Preacher, too, was nearly snared by Grandma and the Family Tree.
He never knew his Grandpa, his mother's name was ..Clark?
He and Grandma talked and talked, outside it grew quite dark.
We'd hoped our fears were groundless, but just like some disease,
Grandma's become an addict--- She's hooked on Family Trees.
Our souls were filled with sorrow, our hearts sank with dismay,
Our ears could scarce believe the words we heard our Grandma say,
"It sure is a lucky thing that you have come to me,
I know exactly how it's done, I'll climb your Family Tree.

Greetings to my Fromherz cousins,
I just wish to send my
love to my relatives, in the most part, in the order of spiritual affinity.
I and my friend Geraldine are continuing to make mission rosaries and brown
scapulars of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (our apostolate). We wish for you a
Holy Christmas 2004 and a new year full of blessings and Holy Cheer.
Yours in Our Lord and Lady,
