WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME
With welcomes I am rarely poetic
But today for some reason I get it.
Hello to our new friend Marjkan
Go to Roll Call and Post Please
So, to know you better, we all can.
Good one, k. Do you have anymore?
marjkan? Is that another name for munchkin?
Thanks for the welcome. I came to site to read about Zimmerman Funeral Home fire. I am the youngest of the Marie and Henry Kling family. We are having a Kling family reunion in Ponca City OK this coming weekend. I'm not sure if any other family member knows about this forum, but I will tell them.
Marjkan is short for Marjorie from Kansas.............but it could be Munchkin! But, I am NOT Dorothy.
Yes, munchkin. Your brother Loren is a member, altho we never hear from him. I wish he would post as he has memories of Howard and Elk county from way back. And I mean waaaaaaay back.
Hello and Welcome marjkan, You will really enjoy yourself here. Get your feet wet and start posting.
Hope you have a Happy 4th of July
Welcome, marjkan. Your brother, Loren, is married to my Aunt Elizabeth. My husband mows their yard that they have here in Howard. Uncle Loren was suppsed to have some kind of knee surgery, but I don't know if he ever had it. Anyway, I love Uncle Loren and Aun Elizabeth to pieces. Glad you joined the forum.
Munchkin, did Loren have surgery and how did it go? I haven't seen or heard from them since Memorial Day.
Brother Loren had 'scope surgery on knee and is now doing rehab. He may still need knee replacement.......re-evaluation in 6 months. He and Elizabeth were at family reunion in Ponca City July 7-8. We had 34 Kling members attend.
Thanks for the update, Munchkin. I hope to see them in August and am glad that things seem to be alright. He should have plenty of time to be on the Forum now, wouldn't you think?
Welcome marjkan! See? You just join the forum and we start talking about surgeries and relatives. Can't get any better, right? Caution: Watch out for Frawg. He's a bit slimy at times and will try your patience. But everyone needs to love a frog occasionally.
This has nothing to do with your post ... just wanted to add something non-surgical.
Hi Marjorie, tell Loren I hope his leg does great. I had talked to him about knee replacement some. I had a total knee replacement a year ago last December and it has been great. He was thinking about it and apparently the Doctor thought Orthoscopic Surgery might help. Anyway, tell hin and Lizzie we are thinking about him and hope the Orthoscopic works. I think the key to successful knee surgery is a good Doctor and do the rehab. Lizzie has always been a favorite of mine since I was a little boy, her Grandmother saved my life, My Mother and Marjorie Armstrong used to tell me the story about it all of the time and I always relive the story with Lizzie. I think one of my sisters was in your High School graduating class. Welcome to the forum, but I warn you it can be addictive.

Frank,
You just can't leave us hanging about my Aunt Elizabeth's grandmother saving your life!!!! >:( >:( Tell us the story. I have never heard it.
Well as Marj Armstrong and my Mother told me, shortly after I was born my follks moved to Osage City ,Kansas, for a short time. When I was around 3-4 months old and I came down with pnuemonia, whooping cough, mumps and measels all at once and I don't remember what else, anyway as the story goes the Doctor told my Mother there was just nothing more they could do for me. My mother got a hold of Grandma Evans at Howard and ask her if she would come and she said she would. My Brother Neil told me he drove as fast as his old car would go and went to Howard and got Grandma Evans and brought her to Osage City. The first thing she said was that she needed Whiskey to give me, Neil said he a knew a Bootlegger, imagine that, and he went and got the Whiskey. Grandma Evans put Whiskey and a Honey mixture down me and applied a mustard and some other ingredients poltice. My Mom said Grandma Evans slept in the room with me for days, and applied her medical recipes until I got better. I can remember Mom saying that the Doctor couldn't believe I survived.
Marjorie always said I was her baby to, she was a really neat and special person.
Frank Winn
That would have been my great-grandma Kitty. She was married quite a few times and died with the last name of Anderson. However; she is buried next to the husband with the last name of Evans. Did I get that right, Mother?
Janet, my mother used to say that Grandma Evans Doctored more kids than the Doctors did.
Frank
Yes, Janet, you got that one right. Grandma Kitty was married 5 times that I can remember. She divorced two of them, buried two of them and made the last one a widower.
My husband used to tell me about the home remedies that Grandma Kittie's father used. Wish I could remember them.
Well, I sure didn't know Grandma Kitty did that kind of stuff. Must of been the medicine woman in her, huh?
That is my thinking.
Well I am glad she did.
Frank
Frankie..
.Grandma Evans knew even then that she was saving a "keeper" So nice that she knew what she was doing and who she was saving.
We are glad she did that too.
How rude of me---Welcome marjkan.
Enjoy this forum with the rest of us.
I went to school with your sister-in-law, Elizabeth. She was, and still is a very cute little girl.
Thank you Jo, the feeling is mutual for sure. By the way, we love both of your girls' personalities and their philosophical views, I am sure they inheirted that from you and Fred. People like you have been what has made Howard home to me always. In fact we are planning on moving about 600 miles closer in the near future.
What an amazing job Teresa and Kjell have done with the forum.
Frank
Seems like we all learn new things every day. The frawin "life saving" story was new to me, also. Yes, Velda Winn was in my HS class. There were 26 in that 1951 graduating class. When I come to Howard, I usually see 2 classmates, Louise and Curtis Morgan. I stay in touch with Virginia Mitchell Denton Whitman, also.
