I liked Buck Owens, 1929-2006, a lot. Then the Hee Haw singers, 1969-1997. And though I'd heard Tammy Wynette's [1942-1998] "Stand by Your Man" a lot on the radio, I didn't really know who George Jones, 1931-2013, was. Owens sounds an awful lot like George Jones. but I guess the standard for a lot of these western singers was Marty Robbins, 1925-1982.

Just looked over your entire list of pics/stories tonight with my wife…well done, Sir. Well done. Keep it coming, as I have a feeling this will become the official “Pictorial/Historical of the Walgenbach Clan.” Digg’n it.

That album you put together was great. Loved it. The storyline made it. Nora was wonderful.

You did a very nice job on your blog, and preserving the photos with their context was a good thing to do for everyone in your family.

Grandpa and Grandma's house was very special. I remember so many fun times, but the best times were just thinking of the buzz going on at the house. There was so much going on it seemed. There were always new faces and old faces showing up for an hour or two.

Very nice, did not know that our house was only 1220 sq. ft. Never saw it after it was painted and new carpeting and new hardwood flooring was put in. Looked great. Thanks for all the info you have on there.
