GRANDPARENT'S DAY AT TOM'S FOOTBALL

Dear Family,  So much going on in the family today.  Bry and his kids drove to the BYU -  Notre Damm football game.

It was Grandparents Day for Doug's son,Tom's football team, the Bengals.  Tom is eight years and has started full contact football and is carrying on a tradition of Wirthlins playing football that was started by my father who played first string college football for the University of Utah in the 1920's.  He had a great red woolen sweater with a large "U" on it that he wore often even when deer hunting.  Elder Wirthlin was the next one to play collegiate football and we have had scores of high school football players since.

Grandparents were invited to Tom's game and given a pass with the picture of the grandson and his stats.  It also entitled us to a free Hamburger and cold pop and brownie at the end.  Here is the football player with Oma and Opa.

Here is Tom in his full regalia and pads.  I was not certain what position he played but on defense, he was in the middle facing the center on the front line.  I thought he looked pretty fierce.

I like seeing the family name on the back of sporting shirts.

Here is Dad, Dr. Doug, serving as a line marker guy and our little bantam weight Lineman, Tom.  It was a beautiful fall afternoon and great to spend it with Tom and Doug.

Alles Gute,  Mom and Dad
