Dedication

These pages are dedicated to the memory of my dad, Paul Evans Airheart. He was born November 14, 1910 in the Methodist-Episcopal parsonage in Heppner, Oregon, a preacher's kid. Times were hard when he was growing up. A minister was provided with a home in those days but very little in the way of a salary. Sometimes his dad was paid with produce or a chicken or eggs. But money was very scarce.

Dad was emphatically a family man, a husband, and a father. He loved nothing more than spending hours with my mother, brother and me and he spend a great deal of that time just quietly sitting on the edge of the action. Many times playing with friends out on the diving raft at the lake where we had a cottage, I would glance toward shore and there would be Dad sitting down by the lake on a white wooden bench he had made, just quietly enjoying the action. Later, when grandchildren and their friends were playing in the water, and the wooden bench was long gone, he could be found on the patio or the pontoon boat quietly watching the fun.

Dad died over ten years ago. I still miss his quiet presence and support. But I shall be forever grateful that there was time for my mom, brother and myself to gather at his bedside to talk over old times and say good bye. When he died I inherited his genealogy file. He had been working for about thirty years, sending off letters and patiently waiting for replies. He had found a 2nd cousin; and his grandparents' and great grandparents' graves in Texas. He used to talk about what he was doing and I wish now that I had paid more attention. But I picked up where he left off and thanks to the Internet have pushed his family back two more generations. I wish I could tell him, I know he would be so pleased.
