Lynn and Baseball

Lynn enjoyed all sports, but was especially good at baseball, usually playing short stop, and sometimes first base. Even after he was married, he still played baseball, on a semi-professional team in Salt Lake City.  He was invited to try out for the Baltimore Orioles. They offered him a position on the team, but he turned it down, knowing it wouldn't be the kind of life for a man beginning a family.

Christmas Ceramics

There was a period in time when my mom painted ceramics.  One year, she made 3 different sets of Christmas ceramics, one for each of her three daughters.  She numbered the sets and then we picked a number from a bag.  This was the set I won.  This was the best set because this was the only set that my dad, Lynn Barratt Fraser, help paint.  It's easy to see that my Dad marched to the beat of a different drum.  He painted the zebra deer.  At first I didn't like it, but now I cherish it!
