| Summary: | pickup load to Jamestown until bulk tanks were installed on both farms in 1956. During these years Orval and Arvin had enjoyed playing and helping to feed the dairy cows and all their little calves. They had their own rodeo stock. When the calves grew into cows, they were so tame that the boys could ride them home from the pasture at milking time. Orval always pushed down and put out the silage while Arvin put down the hay and measured out the ground feed, since Orval couldn't stand the dust from either of those products. The boys had two riding horses. A little one named Firecracker that wouldn't go anyplace off a walk, and big horse named Lady who was gentle but like to gallop anywhere. Orval still likes horses, and friend of his keeps his horse on a ranch south of Billings. Arvin rides a cutting horse in competitions. For his participation in non-professional competition, he received a silver belt buckle with an inscription and his name on it in December, 1984. Both boys have families of four girls, then one boy. Orval is a deputy sheriff with the Yellowstone County Sheriff's Department. Jody and Amy are his two oldest daughters. Tonya, Mindee, and Jason live with Orval and his wife, Judy. Arvin farms southwest of Eldridge, North Dakota. His family consists of his wife, Ginne, Candie, and Kathy Couch, Leslie, Christy and Adam. Joyce had her favorite people and things on the farm too. Larry Jorve from Marion was her special friend each summer when he'd come to help Melvin with the farm work during vacation. When he'd leave his work shoes by the backstep, she'd put her little feet in them and clomp around. Once we couldn't find Joyce anywhere in the late afternoon, we were all looking, Larry too. Finally, he thought he'd take his car to look for her. There she was, asleep in it. Larry kept his car locked from then on, he was more upset than we were. It was very hot in the car, but Joyce was fine. Her favorite place was the southeast bedroom upstairs with its big closet. Melvin put shelves on one side for her toys, She spent hours playing in that sunny room with a Ginny doll and the clothes for it. When we moved, the other first graders gave Joyce a long pink dress for the doll which is still part of the collection. Joyce graduated from Rocky Mountain College in Billings, Montana. She has worked for the Sawtooth Oil Co. for ten years. Joyce has traveled throughout the Western States, Hawaii, Canada, to Mexico and to England, Wales and France, Joyce and Dan Geiger were married February 9, 1985. They live in Billings, Montana. Crystal was a little over two years old when we moved. She doesn't remember living at the farm or how much she loved going to Aunt Ethel and Uncle Arnold's home in Adrian. She was perfectly content to stay with them awhile, the spring I had pneumonia. Crystal and Skip, Donald F. Stanaway II, were married April 4, 1980. Skip is an architect. They had a honeymoon in Hawaii. In 1983, Cryss and Skip spent a month traveling in Europe, in France, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. They have a son born April 14, 1984, named Donald F. Stanaway III. They call him Tucker. All four of Melvin's children and his grandchildren have one or more of his special features and traits, his patience, his smile, his quiet slow way of speaking, his sense of humor, and some have his blonde hair and blue eyes. We are glad that we could live on the Hendrickson family farm two miles southwest of Adrian for as long as we did. We had planned to stay. We would have changed the drapes, yes, some warm beige ones would have been nice. Irene Hendrickson Koehn HENDRICKSON, VERN AND GLADYS Vern was born in Adrian on September 14, 1911.
