BECKY CHRISTENSEN GETS MARRIED


Dear Family,

Saturday we were invited to Becky Christensen's Temple marriage.

She married James Fairbanks who is a grandson of the noted LDS Sculpture and artist, Avard Fairbanks.  Here they are; I was not quick enough to get the little kiss as they came out.

Becky was one of our great sister missionaries who spent most of her mission in Austria, working in Vienna and Graz.  She was great, effective and a wonderful example to other younger sisters in the mission.  She wrote the best letters each week and they would usually began with, "Wow President!!, we had an awesome week!" 

She went to Simmons in Boston after her mission and received a Masters degree in social work.  She then worked as a social worker helping immigrants and their families in Boston.  Her office was in Newton Center.  She was such a great hostess when we went back to Boston for the MGH surgical reunion.

They dated for a year and a half and this was the culmination.  James finished dental school and started a practice in West Jordan.  He also sings in the Tabernacle Choir.  Fun that Becky will be in the valley.  We have considered her a bit of the family.  We went to the luncheon and had a great visit with her parents.  These two  are well matched couple and  extremely happy.

Congratulations Becky and James, 

Mit Liebe,  Präs. u. Schw. Wirthlin  (Opa amd Oma)

Very exciting news!!! I haven't seen Becky in years, so I had no idea she was engaged.
