Perhaps you'd like to know about the photos my son David chose to adorn the "header" of my website.

	As a child in Sunydell, Idaho, with my doll Sunny on the left, and my cousin Helen Wilcox holding Honey Calamity Dunfor on the right. These were the last two dolls Santa brought me, when I was five or six.
	Eighth-grade graduation photo with all our eighth grade class and our teacher. Front row, left to right, Mary Nelson, Frank Ricks (my favorite teacher), Afton Cheney. Back row, Enid Clay, Byron Taylor and Laurene Liljenquist (that's me). We were the biggest class in all eight grades in the Sunnydell Elementary School.
	Here I am in an instructor's flight suit before climbing in the open-cockpit trainer for a ride. I was a stenographer with War Training Services in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana at the time. The flight instructors worked out of our office, and came in only rarely. When an instructor invited me to take a flight, I did. Couldn't talk him into doing a slow roll, though.
	My favorite — age 19. Notice I'm wearing the wings 2nd Lt. Charles Arnett pinned on me when he graduated from cadet training — on my birthday.
	Our three-some family at BYU, spring or early summer, 1948. Marolyn would have been about 18 to 20 months old.
	In a photo booth in San Diego as newlyweds, each thinking the other was crowding. I was wrong.
	The family wearing Kimono in Japan probably about Christmas, 1961. Left to right: Kathleen, Paul, Charles, Mark, Karen, Anna, Marolyn, David, and Wayne, who took the picture by delayed setting and later developed it in his own darkroom, originally intended as a maid's Japanese bathroom.
	In my thirties. Wayne also took this picture and developed it. When a student of mine saw it some twenty years later, her comment, "My, how you have aged," rather startled me. I didn't feel that much older.
	Wedding day. Snapshot taken in front of the Mesa Arizona Temple by a friend, Josephine Johnson, whose sister's wedding dress I wore.
	Last picture taken of us octogenerians, shortly after our grandson Greg married Britney. Ths was the last family temple marriage-sealing that Charles performed.
	Some of our family, taken from Wayne's balcony some six or eight years ago. It has grown a lot since, with only one missing — Charles. Even he may be closer than we realize.
