... rather the rattle snakes couldn't bite our ankles ... 
Jeanne Reece

Hello Steve and Joyce, 
I am a second cousin of yours. My mother is Phyllis Kornder, Melvin Iverson's daughter (she's in a nursing home in my home town Riverton, WY). I have memories of your parents welcoming our family to WY years ago. I believe they lived in McFadden WY then. Aunt Jean was always made us feel so welcome & Uncle Dale told me to be sure and wear boots when we moved to WY because that way the rattle snakes would bite our ankles :laughing:. The world has lost a great lady but heaven has surely gained! May your memories comfort you!!

Hi Steve and Joyce,
I am Connie Iverson Cheney. I am the youngest daughter of Melvin Victor Iverson, the oldest brother of the Iverson tribe. As you probably remember, your father was one of the Iverson boys that came to live with my mom and Dad after their parents were gone. Dale was about the same age as my brother Glenn Iverson. So we did several visits to your family in Wyoming. Your mother was always the most gracious hostess. Sometimes we just dropped in out of now where as my dad planned these spontaneous trips. We often had carved steaks out of the elk or what ever he had hanging in the shed. your mother was so excited about an oil pie crust  that she had found the recipe for. She made us a pie the next day to show us how it was done. I never did master that recipe and it has since gone by the wayside. Your mom was always so beautiful and was an excellent teacher. She did everything with your father. I remember when my husband and I visited your wyoming home and your father just got a new jeep. I swear your moms eyes about popped out of her head when he started climbing a mountain almost straight up. I was a little fearful too, but all went well. Think I still have photos of that day. We also stopped at Laramie when she taught there. I loved her. Such a great smile and welcoming ways. I always thought her accent was especially cute. don't know what accent it was, but no one had a voice or a hug and welcome like Aunt Jean. I was so glad that we could combine a visit with her upon visiting my sister Phyllis in Riverton. Jean looked right at me when I came into the nursing home and when I approached her she said you look like an Iverson. I got a tour of her room and was only able to see one picture. She must have had her other pictures in a drawer. Thanks for letting us know of her passing. I hope in the near future that we can visit in person. My Mom and Dad really loved Dale , Jean and your family. Our sympathies Larry and Connie Cheney
