Attention everyone...Marilyn has a WEB PAGE !! You can check it out at www.marilynsmithartist.com!
Nicole, please publish the following disclaimer in a prominent place:
I hesitated to make long narratives with these posts, but Nicole said she might put the whole blog thing into a book form someday, and I could use this as a forum for writing for my kids and grandkids. I can’t pass up an opportunity like that. So rather than bore you, feel free to skip anything you’re not interested in or don’t want to be bothered to read. Sonja
Note from Nicole:
I am happy to do this for anybody that is interested. I am enjoying hearing from each of you and would love to hear from more. Thanks Sonja for taking the time to work on this and giving us an opportunity to get to know you better.
Kids from Lt to Rt:Marilyn, Barbara, Veon Jr., Gladys, Gerald, Evan. Clyda and Veon in the Middle.

I was born at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake. I don't know much about the circumstances except that it was close to Christmas so I was sent home in a Christmas stocking. I was the first of two kids and I was named after a friend of my parents.

I was born at LDS hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah to Jennifer and Ben Stout. I was the first of four children and the only girl. I think my dad chose my name. He liked MeLinda and both my parents liked the shortened version, Mindy. So here I am.
I was born in Panguitch, Utah. My parents went over there for my delivery because there was a doctor there. I was the first child. My name was a family joke. My cousin was dating a man named Clyde and my father said if I was a boy they would name me Clyde, and if I was a girl, they would name me Clyda. It stuck.
Mom/ Clyda/ Grandma/ etc.
I was born in Salt Lake City a little while ago in 1955. The youngest of six, some say I was the most spoiled but I say I was raised with the most experience learned. I don’t want to consider the worn out parent argument. Named after my uncle Evan,
me voila!
I was born at Holy Cross Hospital that is now SL regional. I was born the day before Valentine's Day so Grandma always tells the story that it was imposable to get flowers delivered that day so when they came to the hospital they brought a house plant instead. I was the 2nd born of two girls. Daph was 4 years older. As far as the think they just liked the name Nicole and it was French which was something they were both into.
I was born at home on a Sunday morning outside of Springfield, Mo. Mother turned 47 that year (Bless her!). Dr. Fitch told her she was too old to be pregnant, but here I am. I was the youngest of eight, which might have been a big Ho Hum, except that mother knew I was her last, so I was the baby for ever - and everyone loves the baby! (Even the sister who had been the baby for four years).
The first gold medalist olympic figure ice skater, Sonja Henie, was well known at that time. Mother thought she was so cute she gave me her name, with a j, the Scandanavian/Russian spelling. The name and "cute" are the only things we ever had in common. I can barely stand on solid ground.
Mindy, so glad to see you posting. Hope your sibs join the fun.
