11/21/10 LETTER FROM ANDY TO AJ

Hey man,

Haven't had a chance to write much lately. Just some quick hits for you:

* Mom had some minor surgery stuff, but all is well.
* Hurricane lost state on last play of game to Juan Diego again, This time it was a field goal.
* Highland won 4A in 2OT. They're the ones that barely beat Pine View.
* Neal and I road tripped  up to state games, then I did play by play and Devon did color.
* Show has been good, buit I miss my biggest fan!
* Remember Tyler Roberts. He has some kind of brain tumor and can't hardly talk. Not sure if it is cancerous or not.
* Dallas and Bryce both said they miss you a lot. We played football yesterday out back with Andrew and Byron. It was fun, but hurt my shoulder.
* Grandma said she sent you a package with some goodies and stuff. You get the stuff from Derek. How's he doing?
* His farewell was funny. He was really unprepared, but did OK anyway. Plenty of cute girls there. His Mom is a basketcase.
* Left on road trip with Neal at 5 a.m. and got home a little after 3 a.m. the next day. Slept til 1, just like you used to.
* BYU is 6-5 now and Utah is 9-2, but they barely beat SDSU, just like Cougars. Should be a pretty good game, though I think U will win. It is this Saturday.
* BYU hoops looks pretty good early. They beat Utah State, but Mikeli Wesley killed them inside. I think teams with good big man will be trouble this year. Jimmer and Emery look good.
* Cowboys gave won 2 straight since they fired Wade Phillips. Guess Jason Garrett is a wonderboy after all.
* Sick of the food yet? Any requests for Thanksgiving?
* Love you lots and we are praying for you everyday. Keep your chin up. U r da man!

Love ya, Pops

08/23/25 Organ

The Washington First Ward Building was sold to the City of Washington. Part of my responsibilities included dispensing of the organ and pianos in the building (along with other things).  It is an Allen, approximately 1970s.  I put the organ up on the auction. There were a couple of other people that were bidding on it, but I ultimately won the bid (for under $100). On the day I won the bid I was able to arrange a mover!!! I paid $250 to have someone from the piano store move it to our house (I have no idea how he managed to get that into the back bedroom....but he did it!!!) Then, it wouldn't work. 😭 I waited for approximately 6 weeks before a guy (who had to be 80 years old) came down from SLC and repaired the organ. (So the organ wasn't actually broken, it had to do with the electricity and the house talking nicely to one another.) It took him a couple of hours to figure it out. He charged about $200 and voila! I have a working church organ.  Cool, eh?  Now, I got...

03/28/26 Trip to Italy, Day 5, Saturday, Florence

We stopped at a local restaurant and got some breakfast tarts and then went to the Academia and saw the statue of David and had a tour. We returned to the same Restaurant and had panini sandwiches for lunch. Then we went to the Uffizi Museum for another tour. We had yummy gelato and took a rest for a while.  We walked through the leather market and to a cool bridge. We walked around the city awhile into we came to a restaurant that was super cute and we ate outside. We had ravioli and pizza. We walked a bit more after dinner and then came back and played games.
