My Grandpa and Grandma Larson

Here's a cool picture of my Grandparents in Finland in June, 1938.  They were mission presidents in Sweden until the war broke out in Europe.

Interesting notes: they left on the last boat out of Europe before Germany invaded Poland.  A couple of years after they got home, they had my mother!  Their family was always influenced by this Swedish history, as well as my Swedish ancestry.

Grandpa was a professor of Utah history.  He also was one of the first Institute teachers.  I wish I had known him better, but he passed away when I was only 4.  I do remember sitting under his desk when I was little!

My Grandma was a very well educated, artistic, and social woman.  She was so kind to everyone.  It seemed like anyone who stopped by her home for a visit would leave with one of her famous angel food cakes (or two!)  Today I'm making a couple of them and thinking of her...  I love you Grandma!
