Smoky is the oldest and like
Dad he is a man of few words but gets the job done nicely. He has worked many
jobs as "Am" and has been transferred as much as his father. He is
now working in LA and his family is in another part of the state and hopefully
hits retirement in time to enjoy it. Like Lois and Am he enjoys a cocktail or
two after work. (We won't mention the size of glass or ounces) smile Smoky
loves the outdoors like his father. Smoky has 4 children: Melissa, Andy, Tyler
and Griffin. He has 3 grandchildren from Melissa, Jacob, Emma and Abe. His
wife's name is Luanne and they live in southern California.
Bob-being a now retired lawyer from Las Vegas is so much like his Dad and Mom.
After "Am" retired he looked for another occupation to keep his mind
going. Bob is now using the Internet to look at world views and the stock
market. He lets us know about the oil prices going up and down and how we are
looking as a nation. Bleak news. He also has been using his accounting skills
as "Am" did in counting cards. He has entered poker tournaments and
done very well. Bob has developed an interest in guns so don't mess with him.
Bob has 2 boys who both reside in Las Vegas. Zach is finishing up his
accounting degree and Greg just graduated from the police academy in Las
Vegas. His better half is Susan and they live in Henderson, Nevada, of course.
Mary Amundson/Young is just like her mom Lois, both who love children. She is
running a daycare at a retirement facility. She gets a lot of Grandmas and
Grandpas dropping by to see the little ones. Lois was always on the go having
neighborhood coffees and Mary has got that desire to go also. She never lets a
week go by without planning something. Canoe trips, hiking, and just relaxing
on her pontoon. Cocktails are always included which Lois and Am loved doing.
She even named her boat after Lois's favorite song Sandman. Mary has three
children, one daughter (Jessica Betts who is married and living in Texas with
her husband David Betts) and 2 sons (Nathan who is a salesman working in
Minneapolis, Mn. and Peter who is a senior at Eau Claire, Wis.) Mary husbands
name is Tom Young and they live in the great state of Minnesota.
John is busy with his business doing tax accounting. Dad loved numbers and
John must also. He has a stressful time of the year as Dad did during the base
exercises for war. We didn't see Dad for days and John is following his
footsteps. During tax season he isn't to be seen. He has Mom's sense of humor
and Dads quiet sense of being. He has a hobby which had to have a room in his
house built for ...wine. Ask him any question and he will get back to you
after tasting it and give you a review on if its OK. John has two children,
one daughter Julie, who is a freshman at SMU and one son, Tommy, a senior in
high school. He has an adorable wife-Sandie, and they live in Las Vegas.
Suzi is so much like her Mom. She even looks like her. Suzi married a military
man. She has the go go go now just like her Mom. Her husband is like
"Am" in so many ways. He just goes with the flow. Suzi works for the
school district as Lois did. She has some of "Am" in her as she
loves her dogs just like Dad. Suzi has two sons...Joe in the Army and
stationed in Iraq right now and Jason has just joined the Air Force. Her
husbands name is Jack and they live in the big state of Texas.
