Most of the Carpenters are of a quiet, unassuming, uncomplaining disposition - always ready to support any good work.

Interesting to note a common virtue among the men in the family - always showing kindness and thoughtful concern to their companions and children.

Ora Carpenter Omerza journal Dec 1-4, 1979

1 Dec 1979

Today they had a decency rally at A.S.U. They had 5,000 people there. There are still a few people who believe in decency. Marlene’s ward children’s chorus sang. Nikki and Marnee sang.

3 Dec 1979

Today is our 41st anniversary. It’s a long time but we have had our good times. Three wonderful children and their three equally wonderful mates and twelve beautiful grandchildren. If we had nothing else this would be enough. I have so many blessings.

We went to dinner in the evening.

4 Dec 1979

I went to the Temple this morning. I went to two sessions. Afterwards I went to Marlene’s and cut her hair. I enjoyed visiting with her.
