I have more pix of him somewhere, but these are handy on my 'puter already. I remember him coming out to California when I was pretty young. I remember him always being a kind, cheerful person, and seemed to like us kids alot. He'd always take time to play with me, and made me feel special.
Great people we come from!

I sure don't. I don't think I even knew he was alive when I was young. Hmmmm, strange. Where did he come and visit you from???
What you doing up at 2 in the AM?!
They lived back in New Jersey. He came out to California twice that I remember to visit Grandpy. Must not have made to Utah though. You guys missed out! He died in '64 (at about 88), so I was pretty young. But I have a couple pretty clear memories of him.
I'm always up at 2:00 a.m. I'm pretty much an insomniac. I'm using this as my excuse for being so bitchy all day long.
Looking at these pictures makes me feel as though I knew them....It's almost like if you knew grandpy kellogg you then you knew his father. And how amazing is it that at first sight I thought I was looking at pictures of Great nana and grampy....it took me a minute to realize that I was looking at my great-great grandparents.
I do remember him visiting us, when we lived on Center Street in Provo. Bevy was too young, Mom has a picture of him in from of that house, i barely remembering him visiting, I was probabley like 9 or 10.
I remember him well. I remember hanging out with him and thinking how weird that he looked like Grandpy... He was very sweet and soft spoken like Grandpy was.
Awww the old back yard....hehehe! I showed jim and he told me I can't have a yard like that ; ).
Has anyone picked up on the fact yet that he is wearing a suit in all of these pics? Tie and all. Working in a yard...Visiting the old west... Funny to think about, but if he were around today doing those things he would be wearing shorts, flip flops, and a baseball cap, right? Times are a changin'.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing as I was making this post.
