Family History
I have enjoyed getting reacquainted with Sheila. She is living in Fort Yates, North Dakota with her 2 daughters, Chelsea (age 14) and Laney (age 8). Her son, Sean (age 26), married Jodi Herman October 26, 2008. I went through the photographs i had of Sheila along with the ones taken by Mom & Dad. Below is a link to the photos.

Sheila is from the Sioux Indian tribe. She came to stay with Mom & Dad for the school year beginning the Fall of 1977 as part of the LDS Indian Placement Program. I had graduated from Burley High and went off to BYU to room with Ed who was newly returned from his mission in Japan. Sheila and Mary Jane were both 13 turning 14 (MJ in October; Sheila in December). Sheila spent 3 years with the folks and MJ.
In July of 1988, Mark & Mary Jane got married. Sheila came out to Boise with her 5 year old son, Sean. Later that Fall, I was starting Law School in Tucson. Sheila and Sean came and lived with us during that first school year.
