Meet Your Cousins #3

Dear Family,

This edition will include the children of my sister, Marjorie Anderson.   As you may already know, Marjorie Anderson married Bud Anderson and so her maiden and married names were the same.

Marjorie's children

SHARON ANDERSON (Marjorie, Alida, Elmer) lives in West Linn, Oregon.  Sharon was a graduate of Louisiana State University Medical School 1979 and residency at Harvard Medical Center 1985.  She continued at Harvard where she became an Asst. Professor of Medicine. After moving to Oregon she became Professor of Medicine, Chief, Nephrology at the Oregon Health Sciences Univ.  She has published numerous research papers and is considered one of the leading physicians in the field of Nephrology.  Sharon and her husband Ed Curtis enjoy living in Oregon where he has his own construction company.

Robyn, Amanda, Bill

husband, Bill Large, works for US Airways as a mechanic and is associate pastor of their church (eagerly looking forward to retirement). They both are proud owners of Harleys and ride as much and as often as the weather permits.  Bill is the President of the local chapter in South Carolina of the Sons of God Motorcycle Club, a Christian club seeking to spread the light in the often dark world of bikers!

Amanda

The picture of the beautiful red-head is their daughter Sharon “Amanda” a licensed beautician who uses her great creative talents to make many women (and men) beautiful.

Robyn, Andrew

Their son, Andrew, 24, in the picture with Robyn, is a talented musician, plays the guitar for entertainment and in the church’s worship team and works for the state of South Carolina.  He is entertaining the thought of returning to college to pursue his dream of writing.


Art Lee

 

ARTHUR LEE ANDERSON (Marjorie, Alida, Elmer) lives in Portland Oregon.  Art is an award winning Lapidary and Gemologist.  Art Lee is retired, his company’s name was Speria Gems.  His work has been featured in GEMS AND GEMOLOGY MAGAZINE and the LAPIDARY JOURNAL.  A number of years ago he won first prize of 10,000 deutsche mark in a German gem-cutting competition (see the attached picture).  My favorite quote from Arthur is “I used to have this fantasy of walking into a Beverly Hills party and seeing one of my stones hanging on the neck of some glamorous woman, now my fantasy is to se it on the finger of a waitress in a greasy spoon in Arkansas, set in a little $30 ring, that means allot to her.”  Art’s daughter Tanya is a student living in Bend, Oregon.
