These are Wayne's maternal grandparents, Earl Partridge Wixom and Olive Nunn Wixom. (Click on photos to make them bigger.) We bought a little house right across the street from them in Layton, Utah in 1982 and lived there for 5 years. They were the sweetest, kindest grandparents to us, and helped us out all the time with our three little boys.
Wayne's grandmother had a chocolate business for many years, but had closed the business by the time I met her. Her chocolates were quite famous in Utah. One day Wayne's boss in Salt Lake City surprised Wayne with a special gift. He told Wayne that he had been cleaning out a closet, and found some things stored inside a "Mrs. Wixom's Frontier Lady Chocolates" box, and knowing it was Wayne's grandma, presented the box to Wayne. It is one of his most cherished keepsakes.
