A month ago I posted about my learning the Idaho state song in elementary school and singing it every time I enter the Gem State. I am not alone in that ritual. I was intrigued by this Family History Moment, written by Alaura Ramsey of Eagle, Idaho, on the back page of last weekend's Church News:
"My sister Debbie and I picked up my father from the airport. He was coming to town to attend his extended Mink family reunion. As he walked out the doors into the open air he began to sing loudly, 'And Here We Have Idaho!' It is the state song he learned in elementary school. I smiled. I turned my head, looked at him and thought, 'I love you.' . . . (Church News, May 16, 2009, 16).
