It took a wedding to bring the Wightman family to Utah. Living out of state most of their lives, they were like the illusive butterfly. The Park family (June's maiden name) seldom saw these cousins, but longed to know them.
Here's a photo of Aunt June, Tony (the bride's dad) & Bret Wightman (on the right) at Courtney's wedding in Salt Lake on March 6th. What handsome men they are. Last time most of us saw them was thirty or more years ago. It's quite rare for this many Wightman's to be in the same place at the same time with their Park cousins.
Many of us had to be reintroduced or would not know who they were.
Aunt June's, six children almost never see each other. Joe the youngest, lives in Germany & visited Tony in Florida last winter. They hadn't been together for about twenty years. Cheryl the oldest is in Portland, the twins, Ned & Neal live in California, Tony is in Florida & Brett in Colorado.
June recently returned from a mission to Nauvoo. Both Tony & Brett are active in the Church & have worked together in several businesses. It's been a challenge to keep close with children & grand children, but June has done a great job.
