OEMM August 2010 Newsletter
We had a great time at the August Breakfast Shoot. Despite a short delay we finished the shoot and had a great “bean” potluck.
We did get word back from the forest service that we are “OK” to continue holding our shoots up Left Hand as long as we are safe.
September’s meeting will be “Top of Utah” on September 18th. We will shoot our guns to start the race in our mountain men clothes. You need to be heading up Black Smith Fork at 6:00am or earlier (they will close the canyon).
There are a few of us planning on camping up the canyon so we don’t have to be up as early. We will be camping up on top of Hardware just south of the visitor’s center. This will put us really close to the start line. The TOU organizers have asked that we leave the parking lot free for their busses to park in.
Plan on being stuck up the canyon for a few hours after the race begins. The club will furnish breakfast.
If you are planning on being at the TOU marathon and would like a Tee Shirt I need to know the size of shirt you need. Please send me an email or call me with your name and size oemmclub@hotmail.com or 801.336.8062. I need to know this information before September 13th so I can get the right size shirts.
We are looking for a place to hold the Christmas Party this year. If you have ideas please let us know. Also, we are open to having the party catered if we can find a reasonable priced caterer. If you know of one please let us know.
Remember if you are having a hard time opening your newsletter you can always check out the blog at www.cachevalleyrendezvous.blogspot.com

Author Eric Dolin
This author is coming to Logan on JULY 31 2010 @ 2:00pm at the Eccles Center.
He has just finished a book titled Fur, Fortune and Empire.
"From the best-selling author of Leviathan comes this sweeping narrative of one of America's most historically rich industries. Beginning his epic history in the early 1600s, Eric Jay Dolin traces the dramatic rise and fall of the American fur industry, from the first Dutch encounters with the Indians to the rise of the conservation movement in the late nineteenth century. Dolin shows how the fur trade, driven by the demands of fashion, sparked controversy, fostered economic competition, and fueled wars among the European powers, as North America became a battleground for colonization and imperial aspirations. The trade in beaver, buffalo, sea otter, and other animal skins spurred the exploration and the settlement of the vast American continent, while it alternately enriched and gravely damaged the lives of America's native peoples. Populated by a larger-than-life cast-including Dutch governor Peter Stuyvesant; President Thomas Jefferson; America's first multimillionaire, John Jacob Astor; and mountain man Kit Carson-Fur, Fortune, and Empire is the most comprehensive and compelling history of the American fur trade ever written." taken from his web site

If you missed the meeting last week you missed out. We had a large group gather at the Monument site. There are great "points of interest" there that you can read and enjoy. We also had a very nice pipe ceremony. The meeting was good and we had a lot of involvement. Scott and Debbie Bodell are working on a memorial for our OEMM friends and family that have passed on. If you have names or dates please let us know so we can include them on the memorial.
The club voted to purchase a few sets of walkie talkies so we can communicate around camp. The old hand sets were not in the best of shape.
Wiatt gave a run down of how things are looking for rendezvous. Hooters are ordered, other things are in the process. He is looking forward to a great time so get ready and come on.

Scott and Debbie Bodell are working on a memorial for all of the Mountain Men and Women we have lost over the years. If you can think of any they would like their Names (mountain and given) the dates they were alive. Please leave a comment here with any ideas you may have.
OEMM February 2010
We had nice weather for our trip to Hardware Ranch. Thanks everyone who made medicine bags and helped get the fringe fringed. We all had a nice time visiting and just plain being together.
Our hearts are with Michael & Fran at this time. Robyn was a very special part of this Rendezvous family. She will be missed.
February’s meeting will be at Noon at the Bear River Massacre site. It is the new one at the top of the hill. If you drive past the old site and get to the top of the hill you will turn right and make a switch back to go back to the “look out” that over sees the old site. We will take part in a pipe ceremony there. We are looking forward to spending some time honoring those whose lives were lost at the Massacre site. See you there.
Following the ceremony at the site we will head over to the Riverdale Resort for a meeting and a potluck. Come ready to swim if you wish. If not bring a project to work on while the rest of us enjoy the warm water. If you would like to stay, there are places for RV’s. You can also check with Doug to see if he has any more rooms available.
Scott and Debbie Bodell are trying to put together a memorial for those CVR friends that have passed. If you know names (given and mountain man) and dates please send them back to me and I will forward them on.

Robyn M Thomas
Robyn Michaeline Thomas (1989 - 2010)
GARDEN CITY - Robyn Michaeline Thomas, 20, of Garden City, Utah, passed away at her home on Jan. 17, 2010. She was born May 4, 1989, in Torrance, Calif., to Michael and Rosanne Thomas. Robyn's mother, Rosanne, died in 2001, and her father married Francis Morgan (Thomas) who became Robyn's new mother and soulmate. She moved with her parents to Garden City when Robyn was 6 years old. She attended elementary schools in Logan and Laketown. She graduated from Rich County High School in Randolph, Utah. Robyn loved science and scientific things, and to be outside to experience nature. She was an avid reader, liked to read science fiction and had an impressive knowledge of ancient history. Robyn developed a keen interest in all things relating to the Mountain West Frontier when as a youth she joined the Old Ephraim Mountain Men and Women Club and, along with her mother and father, reveled in the annual Rendezvous. She spent many hours in preparation, building, fixing, designing, arranging and learning the history, traditions and folklore of the mountain men and women and that of the Indian tribes of the same era. She mastered the art and safety of outdoor fire building. She had a large extended family of admiring Old Ephraim mountain men and women. Robyn loved the wildlife around their home on the mountain and made two memorable trips to the grave of Old Ephraim - the famous rogue grizzly bear. She loved British comedies on TV, cats, wild flowers, gardening and visits to grandparents and relatives. She enjoyed the Bear Lake community and was known by many in the area. Robyn is survived by her parents, Michael and Francis Thomas; grandparents, Lloyd H. and Urell Morgan, and James and Marilyn Thomas; a brother, Bryan Morgan (Michaella); and their daughter, Lilly Ann; a niece, aunts and uncles: Clark and Janet Price; Doug and Carol Thomas; Bruce and Shauna Crane; Matt and Wendy Vernon; and David and Ainsley Thomas; and cousins, Rebecca, Benjamin, Elizabeth, Brandon, Ginevra, Demitri, Bess, James, Sadie, Brody and Wesley. Robyn was a very loving person - she always hugged friends and relatives and never failed to hug her mom and dad and tell them she loved them before retiring. The funeral will be held at noon Saturday, Jan. 23, 2010, in the 11th Ward Chapel in Logan, Utah, 195 S. 100 East. Internment will be in the Logan City Cemetery. Funeral arrangements are by Serenicare of Salt Lake City. There will be a family gathering at 10:30 a.m. in the church house.Donations and flowers should be sent to the 11th Ward Chapel.

She spent many hours in preparation, building, fixing, designing, arranging and learning the history, traditions and folklore of the mountain men and women and that of the Indian tribes of the same era. She mastered the art and safety of outdoor fire building. She had a large extended family of admiring Old Ephraim mountain men and women. Robyn loved the wildlife around their home on the mountain and made two memorable trips to the grave of Old Ephraim - the famous rogue grizzly bear. She loved British comedies on TV, cats, wild flowers, gardening and visits to grandparents and relatives. She enjoyed the Bear Lake community and was known by many in the area. Robyn is survived by her parents, Michael and Francis Thomas; grandparents, Lloyd H. and Urell Morgan, and James and Marilyn Thomas; a brother, Bryan Morgan (Michaella); and their daughter, Lilly Ann; a niece, aunts and uncles: Clark and Janet Price; Doug and Carol Thomas; Bruce and Shauna Crane; Matt and Wendy Vernon; and David and Ainsley Thomas; and cousins, Rebecca, Benjamin, Elizabeth, Brandon, Ginevra, Demitri, Bess, James, Sadie, Brody and Wesley. Robyn was a very loving person - she always hugged friends and relatives and never failed to hug her mom and dad and tell them she loved them before retiring. The funeral will be held at noon Saturday, Jan. 23, 2010, in the 11th Ward Chapel in Logan, Utah, 195 S. 100 East. Internment will be in the Logan City Cemetery. Funeral arrangements are by Serenicare of Salt Lake City. There will be a family gathering at 10:30 a.m. in the church house.Donations and flowers should be sent to the 11th Ward Chapel.
