FOOTBALL STARTS AGAIN

Dear Family,

A sign that fall is approaching8ng is the resumption of college football. Thursday night, the University of Utah (25th placed) played Pittsburg (15th placed) at the University of Utah Rice Eccles stadium.

We were invited again to the box seats on the 50 yard line and it was great.

A lot of the fun is seeing everyone who goes there; the box next to us is the President's box where all University dignitaries hang out. Senator Orin Hatch was there and seeking re-election, came over and greeted us all with the glad hand. We waved to Elder Hales and Zwick who were up there enjoying the game.

Mom chats with all the gals who come in the box but I was there watching the game and keeping little Emily Eva warm and sharing the binoculars with the grand kids. The game was great and Utah played mostly well, the defense holding the team to short yardage. At the end it was a tie on a late second field goal by Pittsburgh and went into overtime. An intercepted pass and a field goal won it for Utah.

There was such a traffic jam getting to the stadium. This was pure Stau and it took us 45 minutes to get there and it is only a short distance from the house. It was a lot of fun.

Oh as an addendum to my last post, there are three other mothers expecting in the family. Bina is expecting. Rob called s and announced that Eva was expecting and told us Suz was as well. So congratulations to these mothers; we have such wondrful grandchildren.

Alles Gute, Dad and Mom
