December 31, 1980 Aunt Estelle wrote

Wed.  Cloudy to fair & cold.  We had Wendi.  A.T. come at noon for her and we went to Uncle Ray's.  ran into Jennings at the post office coming from Ark.  where he had spent Christmas with his kids.  To prayer meeting tonite. 

Footnote:  Wendi is her granddaughter.  A. T. Collier  is Wendi's Dad.  Uncle Ray Baker is her uncle - the half-brother of her mother, Lula Baker Reasor.  Jennings is her brother who lives near her.  He has a daughter, Betty Jean who lives in Arkansas and that is where he went for Christmas.  His son, Kenneth lives in Iowa and I would guess that Kenneth and his family came to Arkansas for Christmas.
