Elaine's Birthday

Today is our own Elaine Villarruel's birthday!  What would we do without Elaine?  She answers dozens of phone calls a day.  She orders and orders supplies and equipment.  She cheerfully gives directions to the multitudes of people who pass by her desk each day and need assistance.  And she is a WIZARD at using IFAS!  

Elaine was born in Ogden and weighed just 3 pounds when she was born!  She was the only girl sandwiched between 1 older brother and 3 younger brothers.  

She got married when she was 17-years-old to her wonderful husband, Art.  They met when they were 14 years old, and their birthdays are 14 days apart.  They have been married for 39 years.  Elaine and Art have a son and daughter and five grandchildren.

Elaine loves to read and crochet.  She is very talented at scrapbooking and making beautiful cards.  She and her family love to go camping.

Happy birthday, Elaine!

  6. Happy Birthday, Elaine. Thanks for always being so welcoming and helpful on the phone. A world made up of Elaines (and everyone in the LMC) would sure be a positive world.

  8. Elaine--How nice it is to wish you a Happy Birthday, though belated. You have always been patient, kind, and helpful when I have called to ask for help with Ifas (numerous times) plus other calls for help or information. Thank you for extending your friendship to me over the past years.
