You may have to guess this one: On this day, in which year did the original "pasty girl" appear?

2002

Correct! Our daughter Becky (Hopper) Howard was the 'pasty girl' who took orders by phone during the years she lived at MTU. In 2002 the Tech Women's Hockey team played in the national tournament in Anchorage, AK, where Becky tended the goal.

2006? Mornin'

Reasonable guess, but Becky was a little older at the time

Good Morning. I agree with Janie T., 2002. Charlie's daughter played hockey, and she was the original "pasty girl". :-)

And now she has some girls of her own :o)

You have a beautiful family, Charlie. It must be fun to play with your granddaughters now! :-)

Thanks, Marianne. The shot above was the scene almost a year ago (May 10) when Kira's little sister "Kit" was born. Here's something more recent:

Excellent! It's nice to see people moving forward and stimulating the economy.

Looks like Becky & Bryan will have beautiful views from their new home.

How precious, Charlie!! Grandchildren are the best!! Where do they live? Is it Colorado??

You might be able to see all the way to Colorado on some of those mountains. They live in Utah, and Becky still plays Hockey when she can find time.

The promise of tomorrow
And the hope of dreams come true...
A reminder of the childhood
That's still a part of you...

The wonder of a miracle
From which this love began...
There is so much found in the touch,
Of a sweet grandchild's hand.

Precious little girls! Gotta enjoy every moment with your children. Like the song says, "Don't blink".
