Friday Foto Fix

A few months ago, Jed and I were in the Wilkinson Center on BYU campus and this picture caught my eye because my Grandpa Busath was a "Yell Leader" (not a cheerleader) when he was at BYU. [Sorry for the bad quality...the lighting there was not helpful.]
So I take a closer look and sure enough, my grandpa is one of the guys in this picture, hanging in the student center on campus, some 50 years later. How cool is that?
He's the one in the middle. Today is his 75th birthday! February 13th, between Lincoln's birthday and Valentine's Day - that's why he claims he's so honest and lovable! ;)
Happy Birthday Grandpa!! You're an amazing man and an inspiration to those who have the pleasure of knowing you. I am so grateful that you are in my life and that Jed and I can spend this special time with you.




Ping Pong Tournament
I was so surprised by how many of the contestants had their own paddles. So of these guys were incredibly good. And just so you know, there is a ping pong club that meets every Tuesday night (7:00 I think) in the Wilk, in case you just want to play a pick-up game or something. FYI.

Jed did pretty well, considering he didn't practice and hadn't played in months - he was just a little bit rusty. He lasted a few rounds, but eventually he lost to the guy who ended up getting 3rd place, out of 70. Not too bad. I'm very proud of Jed. He did a wonderful job!

These are just a few random shots I took at the tournament. It is Friday Foto Fix afterall. :)

This guy had a really crippled hand and severe limp - we think Cerebral Palsy - but he was really, really good. Good for this guy!

Waiting our turn...

Can you see the ball on this one?
This was the trophy for the winner! I got a kick out of it.

Jed's paddle case. He picked this little gem up in Chile. Can ya tell? :)

Ping Pong

My dear husband loves to play ping pong and is pretty good at it. When I saw that BYU was holding a ping pong tournament, I had to sign him up. The tournament starts at 7:00pm on Wednesday, February 11 in the Wilkinson Center Terrace on BYU campus. Please come support him if you're in the area and have some time. He would love to see some familiar faces in the crowd!
