Recalling pleasant things and taking the time to dwell on them.
The Christmas Letters – 1981-2012.
In keeping with the fine George & Dixie Boller tradition (1948-1991) of printed Christmas newsletters, we’ve assembled some of our Christmas newsletters going back to 1981 through 2012. There’s a few missing years, but enough here to give you a good overview of our Boller family highlights throughout much of our kids’ growing up years!
1986 – Big news! John Martin Boller is born and we’re moving to Iowa!The late 1980’s were tough years of transition for the Bollers (read more here) but by the early 90’s, we’d settled into our new home in Cedar Rapids and life seemed a bit more relaxed.In 1994, we lost my Dad, George Boller, and Sandy’s Dad, Jack Unrue.
