This week, we've had a special visitor. She was attending a seminar at the Antler's plaza hotel and needed a place to stay. Her name is Jane Haynie. 
Jane was married to Galen Haynie from Manassa. Galen was killed in Vietnam. Galen was a descendant of Christen Jensen. I knew his grandmother as Aunt Kistie Mortensen. Galen's mother was Aunt Kistie's daughter Lucinda who married Earl Haynie. Earl owned and operated the dry goods store in Manassa for years.
We have really enjoyed Jane's visit and hope to get to know her better. She will be off tomorrow to a family reunion in Grand Junction with Anna (Knight) Wheeler's family.

That is nice that you had Jane Haynie stay with you. She has stayed with me a number of times. She is a nice person. Her son married one of the Knight grandaughters. They include her in their family reunions. Mom
I remember the anti-war sentiments and the foolish waste that was experienced when Galen was killed in Viet Nam. I did not know him personally, but I remember of the situation.
