Merlin Dale FedererUncle Dale was born April 26, 1929
Dale, Bernice, Carl, Theodore, Edna and DadThey must be going to church, all dressed in their Sunday best. And you can see the Wyoming wind is blowing, just look at Grandma's dress!
Uncle Dale was so handsome and as it turns out he still is. He looks like a movie star!
I think he looks like Clark Gable!
Uncle Dale and Dad, both looking very handsome in their military uniforms. I love the old car they're are standing next to.
Uncle Dale during the time he served in Korea.
Our "college man" as Aunt Bernice calls him. A proud day for Grandma and Grandpa, his graduation from the University of Wyoming.
Uncle Dale was very athletic and was a champion wrestler.
Last but not least is a picture of when he met President Obama!I have heard that Uncle Dale had a strong will and was very determined. I'm sure that determination is what molded him into the great man he is. He was teased a lot growing up by guess who? ~ his older brothers! He was always serious and very intent on doing what was right.
He is charming and so kind. He loves to tell stories and has an amazing memory. He also has a cute sense of humor.
Uncle Dale taught agriculture and wrestling at the high school in Saratoga, Wyoming. He was very respected there and is still honored when he comes to town.
He was also a professor at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo for many years.
He still lives in California and has chickens that are treated like royalty. He has lost a lot of weight. He told me that he is on the "chicken diet." He always saves some of his meal when he eats out and brings the left-overs to the chickens! Portion control!!
It was so good to see him in September. I have always admired him and enjoy our visits. He celebrated his 80th birthday last spring.
