Paulson Family E:Mail addresses including a few strays, who are family by friendship and association:

You can send e:mail to:
We had set up address for "Rimrock" Paulson ([email protected]), my Dad, Jean R Paulson. However, we lost him in August, 1998, so use this only if you think he may be able to monitor his e:mail where he is now. About that "R" in his name, it really does not belong there. That stray "R" is something he added when in college, and, with a few friends, was sending articles to various markets for publication. Everyone else had a middle name but him, so he just picked a middle initial. He had Nina and me convinced as kids that the "R" stood for "Rudolph," at least around Christmas time. Beginning in the late 1980s, he began to use "Rimrock" as a penname for articles he wrote about early days in Utah County for the Daily Herald. He even had return address stickers printed that way. He became legally blind in 1982, and hired a series of people to help him with his typing and correspondence. When I retired in 1986, I became his final amanuensis. Any further communications with him will have to be through a medium other than the internet.
Nina and Jim Cooke, ([email protected])of Orem, my sister and her husband, Jim, ([email protected]) on the internet these days. Togetherness is their big scene. She spends a good bit of time commuting to her Mormon Tabernacle Choir practices and concerts. Jim retired not long ago, and wishes he could go to work to get some rest. He has been so busy working around the place that he wonders why retirement brings on these strange aches and pains. When Nina is not singing her heart out in the world's most famous choir, she is--or has been, anyway--pretty much of a "bag lady." No kiddin! She has had a home business where she designs and makes various kinds of bags which sell in gift shops all around Utah! If you see a "Serendipity" tag on a bag... Her neatest specialty is a bag open at both ends for use in recycling plastic grocery bags. [Does that make her a DOUBLE BAG LADY?] Now that she has an e:mail address, I promised to stop teasing her ON the NET. I thought she should have become used to being teased...she got plenty of it when we were kids.
Liisa Dickson ([email protected]) our oldest daughter. Liisa, the music lover, is in constant communication with her faves over the internet. Though since early in 1997, when her computer began acting up, the faves have been missing her regular input. Now, almost two years later, and many times back in the shop, her system is back, allegedly repaired. . .but she is being very careful and cautious in using it, to be sure she gets no viruses...and, after all, it is FLU SEASON again!
Josh Cooper ([email protected]), who is my oldest grandson. He is the first one of the grandchildren to have his own internet account. Now I am going to have to get busy and set up a page for the children, which has now been put off too long. Send Josh some e:mail! He will love to hear from you. But remember he's just 13 in 1998, so don't forward ALL those jokes to him!
Linda and Steve Adams ([email protected]) our younger daughter and her husband. Musn't forget to mention the kiddies, one, two, three, and, NOW FOUR! Linda has her poems published on the net. I am partial to two of them, Frog Princes, and Kneeling Saguaro. The general URL for Linda's poetry requires you to page down to her listing if you want to read all the poems she has written...and you should! Beginning March 31, 1997, Linda has had her own homepage! Steve keeps US Sprint accounts straight at their Kansas City headquarters, and is still going strong. Try the neat-o U.S. Sprint Sprint City homepage sometime!
Glenn and Anita Adams ([email protected]), who are Steve's dad and mom, have moved from their former home in the Seattle area to the Newport area on the Oregon coast. They love it there! Glenn retired early from the phone company, so now they get to pick and choose where they would like to live.
Steven Paulson ([email protected]), our son, married Toni Gyllenskog, in May, 1998. Toni hails from the Cache Valley area (Smithfield, UT, north of Logan, UT). Steven spends what time he can working on their new house in Enterprise, UT, about 40 mi. north of St. George. [We have a couple of cute wedding pictures of them, if you care to see two big grins.] Steve is a buyer for Electrical Wholesale Supply, which, in the past, provided the wherewithal to spend the winter weekends snowboarding aand the spare time in good weather hiking, mountain biking, and generally enjoying our lovely Southern Utah outdoors. Now that he has a family he has really been concentrating on the house. It was a fixer-upper, and he has virtually rebuilt the inside. He's done a job Grandpa Harris and/or Grandpa Paulson would be proud of! (e.g. all the walls square and plumb...which they definitely were NOT when he took on the project.)


Julie and Vally Mulford,([email protected]) -- My sister Nina's eldest daughter and her husband. They WERE in the Toronto area, but could not stand the cold...so they have returned to Dallas. Julie was the first in her family to be computerized, and is now a regular internet maven! We had a fight to get her mom linked up, though. Nina and Jim were featured on our mean-spirited Family OFF the Net page for awhile, but now I had to put them on this one. [Doesn't mean I have to stop teasing her, though!] Julie really got interested in surfing the net when she visited her best friend's house in Canada, and saw the internet had pictures, not just text! The only problem with them moving to Canada is that now she has sort of a combination Texas-Kanuck accent. Shortly after her return to Texas, she installed a scanner, and we already have some of her marvelous photographs to display in cyberspace! Of course they are shots of her Geographic Kids...they all have been named after geographic features of the earth, though with tricky spelling, just to keep you on your toes. Incidentally, I have adopted her pal, Kate Beitz, featured elswhere on this page, as a niece...can you adopt nephews and nieces?


Mike Parker,([email protected])OR Jeanette Parker ([email protected]), my niece, also one of Nina's lovely daughters. They both are regular users of the internet, and happily engaged in raising their son, Marcus, who has grown by leaps and bounds, and their pet wrinkly dog, Taz. Why can't I recall the name of the breed? You know, like Hooch, in the movie! [Okay, okay! I really do know he is a Sharpei-German Shepherd mix. But he is too nice a dog to be called a mutt.] He and Marcus are great pals and playmates. Marcus follows him right through the doggy-door at grandma Nina's house, so they have lots of fun over there when visiting.




Robert and Kathy Harris ([email protected]), [NOTE: THIS IS A NEW E:MAIL ADDRESS AS OF 11/97] my uncle and aunt in the Clear Lake, CA area. And since we first posted this page, Kathy has given us e:mail addresses of some of the Harris children and their families:

Vickie Harris ([email protected]), Robert's older daughter, who lives and works in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Mike Harris ([email protected]), Robert's older son, who completed his computer studies and now is busy maintaining computer networks and helping friends with their computers, up in the Sierra Nevada foothills east of Sacramento.
Christine Folan ([email protected]), Robert's daughter, busily engaged in a whirlwind of activities centered about family and extended family, also in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Dorothy Christensen ([email protected]), mother of Mike, Vicky, and David Harris, above, who moved last year to St. George. [Well, you're right, I don't have an e:mail address for David.] She has had a lifelong interest in writing, and had spent many fruitful hours with my dad the past year or so, discussing the craft of writing for publication. She divides her time up between working on her writing projects and being a loving grandmother.

Rex and Mary Deane Ivie ([email protected]), who live along the Sacramento/San Joaquin river delta, don't use e:mail a whole lot, but you certainly can get a message to them on this new address. My cousin Mary is up to her ears in getting the Paulson family genealogy computerized.

James Ivie ([email protected]), son of Rex and Mary, now firmly established on his own, like most of the second generation of the extended family, is a regular internet user.

Lynn and Nola Paulson ([email protected]) recently hopped on the e:mail bandwagon, and have contributed to the continuing saga of the Paulsons from time to time. Not too recently returned from a stint as Mission President of the LDS Denver, CO Mission, they now are attempting to figure out how to retire at their Ogden home base. It hasn't been easy; they keep gettting called on to fill in here or fill in there, where some organizational ability is needed. Nice to be wanted!

Jean Paulson Anderson ([email protected]), is our cousin-in-law, widow of Lynne's older brother, Ford Richard Paulson. Dick was Regional Attorney for the FDIC in San Francisco, but, like my mother, left this world after a painful bout with cancer. We have addresses for several of their children, but I will need them to give me some blurbs to add about what they are up to these days:

Jan Paulson ([email protected]), who niece Julie Mulford found busily working as a bishop's counselor in the other Ward meeting in the building where they attend church in Texas. Small world!

Kathryn Paulson Hannibal, ([email protected]), who has been actively communicating with some of the extended family members, since she learned they were lurking on the net.

David Paulson (is his e:mail address working yet??), was listed as being ON the NET, but may still be having problems getting a modem connected. He's a certified physical therapist, specializing now in the spine, though he used to concentrate on other joints and limbs of the body as well. We'll hope he gets that modem figured out one of these days, so we can all tell him about our aches and pains.

Paul M. Wilson and Lois Wilson ([email protected]), my cousin with the Argentine accent. Well, not really! Paul gained proficiency in Spanish as a missionary in Argentina, later combined that with marketing as he worked for Kodak in Rochester, Brazil, and Mexico. (Yep, you're right! He spoke Portuguese in Brazil.) A couple years back, he served as a consultant for the Polynesian Cultural Center in Hawaii, but now has returned home to St. George, where we get to see him on a regular basis. You can take the marketing job away from Paul, but you can't keep Paul out of marketing. The latest is, quote, "Paul is the distributor in ID, CO, UT, and NV for Pol'Noni and Tamani Oil, two natural Tahitian health supplements which have been highly regarded for centuries in the Pacific for their therapeutic qualities." --If you want to know more, I'll send you to his personal pages... He gives a family discount on these expensive cure-alls. The first big marketing deal, though, was some neato model bicycles that actually work! He got me some pictures, which you can study for yourself. [The hotlinked page also includes a hotlink to his OWN page, where he sells the bikes.]
We learned from Paul that his brother, George, is also on the internet. Paul, of course, thinks he is the brains of the family, and should get proper obesience from George. George, on the other hand, tells me Paul is the younger brother, and he still has to remind him who is on first....Makes for very interesting conversation, on occasion. You'll find George and their sister Rosemary down the page a bit, after the listings for the children of Paul and Lois...

Marsha Lee Wilson Fu ([email protected]), a daughter of Paul and Lois, who lives with her family in London, England. Lois visited them two summers ago,and Paul visited in the summer of '98. Lois enjoyed her days at the British beach, where Marsha had let a cottage for the duration of her visit....say, how do you like my Brit verb usage there? This year, when Paul visited, he enjoyed all the sights and sounds of "Jolly Old," and particularly loved seeing the grandkids. Unfortunately the Fu computer burned out recently, but now has been restored to life. Now they have named the machine "Lazarus," to commemmorate its rising from the dead! With the new e:mail address, we all can regularly chat with them over the e:waves once more.
Julie Ann Wilson Sparks ([email protected]), Lois and Paul's other daughter, who is comfortably ensconced in Shelley, Idaho, with her family. P & L manage to get up there for a visit a bit more frequently than to some of the other children, since it's less of a drive than the long flights needed to get to Hawaii or the UK.
Christian Paul Wilson ([email protected]), the older son of the tribe, who has the distinct honor of being the only member of our extended family to live in a true paradise, near the Polynesian Cultural Center in Hawaii. His spouse is a champion Tahitian dancer, and their daughter had the pleasure of doing a dance for a visit by Gordon B. Hinckley, a couple years ago. She called her grandfather and announced, "Grandpa! I danced with the prophet!"
Craig Leslie Wilson ([email protected]), who is currently living with Paul and Lois, as he pursues a topsy-turvy late night work schedule at a major retailer in the St. George area.

George Wilson ([email protected]), my cousin Paul's older brother, was the U.S. Marines "poster boy" during WWII.  He was in the public relations business in the USMC, and his boss sent him down to be the model for what is now a very famous poster...almost as famous as the "Uncle Sam Wants You" poster used by the army.  George says it is a rule of the universe that the word Marine is always capitalized, though one need not give the same deference to the words "army," "navy," or "airforce."  [I still have to capitalize "Seabees," though, in deference to an old mentor.] George & Honey (Janet) Wilson live in what George calls "Marvelous Marin," the northern anchor of the Golden Gate bridge, about 11 miles north of San Francisco. George is semi-retired having put in about 27 years in the Marine Corps and 30 years with a security company called APS. He is still working part time as a "security consultant" whatever that is. Honey, as everyone who knows her addresses her, has been his chief backup during the same period of time. George has also provided a host of his family on the net to be added in....

"Unlisted" Wilson, George and Honey's son, is the one they call the "resident genius" in the family. Though he IS on the net, we can't give out his name or e:mail address, due to confidentiality restrictions by his company. He works in mysterious ways and like most computer whizzes, has worked for a number of California- and European-based companies, creating software products. He lives in Los Gatos, south of the City. [For all you unshriven out there, "The City" is like "Marines" ...always in caps, always means San Francisco.]
 

Kim, ([email protected]), George and Honey's oldest daughter, lives with her husband,Gary, (what is his new e:mail address???) and daughter, Rebecca, in the midst of the wine country in Napa, California. Gary was in the operation end of Autodesk, keeping the engine running for that San Rafael company. Kim stays at home but is an independent contractor, with a major commitment with Autodesk, though she has many other clients as well. She is heavily involved in Rebeccas' school, helping out the teachers and has worked on an enviornmental science project for the school system. Very appropriate for the Marin way of life! She has also authored a college textbook on Windows 95. Gary, Kim and Rebecca like to camp, hike and ski. Rebecca, George and Honey's granddaughter, is an honor student in her school and is heavily involved in church, piano, dance and T-Ball activities.


Keri, ([email protected]), youngest daughter of Cousin George and Honey, lives with her husband Steven, their daughter, Teresa, and son, Douglas, [DON'T FORGET THAT NAME, NOW!! AND CHECK OUT THE DOUG PAGE WHILE YOU ARE AT IT!!!-ed note] in Corte Madera, which, in George's words, "Is in spitting distance from our home, if you have powerful lungs." Keri was "chief of staff" for a software firm, but now has switched to a better job that lets her work out of her home. George says she is a "headhunter." [We understand that is a good thing, and also that she was not required to spend any apprentice time in the jungles of Brazil as part of her training.] Steve, her husband, works for Autodesk and is the manager of a software development department in Moscow, Russia. He works, however in San Rafael and commutes to Russia as needed. Steve and Keri are also avid mountain bikers as well as ski enthusiasts. Steve volunteers in the winter as a ski patrolman at Squaw Valley. Grandaughter Teresa, four years old, is currrently attending two different schools (whew) and delighting teachers in both of them. George, spends a lot of his spare time chauffering Teresa to her schools. Douglas,their grandson, is one and a half and he too goes to school four days a week. [George: "I am not kidding! I don't quite understand it, but that's the way it is."]


All of George's clan are avid bookworms and share an interest in outdoor activities.

George called his sister, Rosemary, and our cousin, Mary Deane, to suggest that they provide e:mail addresses for the members of their families...Mary found out about how we kidded her on the the Family OFF the net page, and now has a juno.com account. We have repented in the case of Rosemary and taken her off the tease page, since they are not computerized, and we do now have the option of getting messages to her through at least two of her children and a grandchild.

So, we reserved space here for the O'Rullian's. Rosemary,lives with her husband, Stake Patriarch Bill O'Rullian on top of a very active fault line in Granada Hills, CA. I have finally found the addresses I misplaced. After a few gentle reminders, here are the O'Rullian children who are on the net:

Robin O'Rullian Nelson, who was bright enough to marry Craig Nelson, can be reached via e:mail at [email protected] --now doesn't that beat all? Here we were worried that the family had nobody on the internet, and Craig has his very own internet identity! I mean no aols or other isp middlemen for him, py kolly! Well, they do have another e:mail address at home ([email protected]) you may prefer to use. We all got acquainted at the July 4 family reunion, where a good time was had by all. Maybe I better correct that first statement of mine...it just could be Craig who was the smart one in winning Robin's hand? She's always been terrific, just like her mom. Craig went on a mission to ElSalvador-Guatemala. He has created and maintains a neat webpage for the missionaries who served there. Check it out! Next we must find out more about Craig's printing business. [Craig is the one who filled me in on the O'Rullian's e:mail connections, so he gets to be first on the list...with a big thanks to him for his persistence and patience!]

Adam O'Rullian, (does anybody know if he now has a working e:mail address??)who is George and Paul Wilson's grandnephew, and grandson of their sister, Rosemary O'Rullian. Adam has had his own website, and at one point had an active e:mail address, but my last note to him bounced. He went on a mission, and is still there, but the e:mail address they had for him doesn't work as of 10/98, so somebody let me know if he has a new one.
Adam's homepage is a lot fancier than I know how to make them. His homepage initially featured his work as a college radio station DeeJay, as well as some of his movie favorites, Star Wars and Independence Day. (Shot in Technicolor?) It was always fun for me in my younger days to pit Bill, Rosemary's husband, against his brother-in-law Paul Wilson...Bill spent his career working for Technicolor vs. Paul worked for Kodak! Some coincidence, to my way of thinking.

Friends who are like Family:

Debra Thornton ([email protected]), a pal of Liisa's who teaches English at BYU. You may also send e:mail to Deb's alternate e:mail address ([email protected])
 

Joseph Smith ([email protected]) [No Joke!] one of Steve's friends for years, and his wife, Sandra, and their two children, Steven (yep! named after our Steven), and Jacob. Joe's parents, Art and Florinda ("Florie") can also be reached via this e:mail address. In case you're curious, or even if you're not, Flint is Art's and Joe's middle name; Art's mother's family name, I believe. Art and I are some kind of shirt-tale relatives, though we have yet to figure out the exact story to make the connection certain.

Kate Beitz, ([email protected]), a close friend of Julie and Vally Mulford, when they were in the trackless Canadian wastes. . .[they keep telling me Toronto is a modern city. Humppfh! I saw Northwest Passage, and I know different!] Kate has a large, happy family. They are the under-Beitz. Kate and her hubby, who was in the bishopric with Vally, are the over-Beitz. I ended up adopting Kate as a putative niece, since she and Julie got as close as sisters during the Mulford's brief sojurn north of the border. If I get her homepage address again, I will post it here, also. We'll see whether she is watching this space....
