Those old Phelps family photos that Kerby retrieved from SLC, then scanned and shared with us, brought back many memories. One in particular stands out. We were all sitting around the dining table at our home in the Payson U.P. RR station and Uncle Clyde was re-enacting Civil War battles using the after-dinner place settings and bowls as props. The Battle of Antietam was particularly moving and those details later helped me earn an "A" on an American History paper!
Stay in touch cousins!
Much love from the Lopez Island Contingency.

All of our love to you. We will miss Uncle Clyde. He was such an incredible man. And he was the last of a great group of Phelps kids.
