Bear Lake? Fish Lake? Lake Wallenpaupack?


Does anyone know where this picture was taken or what year it was? That's me swinging the bat at the pinata -- I'm not sure who the meanie pulling the rope up is. I think that's Bonnie walking in front of Noel, and it's Greg and Kristen cut off on the left side. And of course that's the old Kennedy van in the background. I'm sure it's out of gas or not running for some reason.

Grandpa's House


Well, Grandpa and Grandma's house no longer belongs to the M. Ray Hiatt Trust. Noel and Vern were co-trustees and we signed the closing documents a few weeks ago. It was bought by Todd and Julia Wamboldt. They have four kids and moved from Santaquin. Our asking price was $258,900. They had a home inspection done. It turned up that the plumbing job grandpa did in the back bathroom when he put the sink in the bathtub and turned the bathtub into a shower caused a quite extensive leak in the plumbing. All the floorboards in that part of the house had rotted and are badly in need of replacement. We settled on $7,000 in concessions. All in all I feel like we made out pretty well.



The Wamboldts seem to be a really nice family. I met them as they were moving in. They like the area. They wanted to hear some stories about the house or see some pictures. They thought it was cool that they are now just the second owners of the house. I told them I have some old pictures, but a picture of the house from 1954 would probably look the exact same as it does today (except for the new carpet that was laid in the living room and bedroom.)
