So shall it be with my father: he shall be called a prince over his posterity, holding the keys of the patriarchal priesthood over the kingdom of God on earth, even the Church of the Latter Day Saints, and he shall sit in the general assembly of patriarchs, even in council with the Ancient of Days when he shall sit and all the patriarchs with him and shall enjoy his right and authority under the direction of the Ancient of Days. |

Notes - 518 30 8335 Gene B Dodge SSN A carpenter, cement worker, electrician, mechanic; no matter what fell apart he put his hands to repair it or as needs and desires came up he could create. That was the life in Tonopah, Nevada and the way it was as he was raised on his parent's farm in Carey, Idaho. You fixed up and made due. The poem below will make more sense knowing these things about dad. If he ever sat next to you he would always give a sqeeze to the knee to let you know of his love and if he could catch your eye from across a crowded room he would wink his signal of love. One day he came home from work with several little doll chairs he had created for my Barbie Dolls. He made a beautiful cradle for Uriah, our first baby. He made my step-brother Frank a pair of skis to slide down the hill; made from blocks of wood with tin cut from an old coffee can attached to the bottoms so it was slick. These were fastened on by leather straps. Our needs for cupboards, closets, or what ever were made by dad. I see Frank, Charlie, Gene and Don carry on this tradition. I know this tradition as far as I had abilities carried on to my children. They have learned from others and figuring it out for themselves and carry on the tradition of building and creating for themselves what they need rather than buying everything or hiring someone to create it. I remember sitting at the dinner table with Norma, Don, Bonnie, Gene and I. Little Gene had said something that he needed to be reprimanded for, dad tried to get after him but was laughing so hard behind his hands that his face was red. Dad could be tough, but it wasn't from anger his discipline came from. It was knowing the need of the child to have discipline. So many times the humor of the situtation would get the best of him though. Dad would treat all children as they were his own. He loved children for who they were, it didn't matter their background or parentage. Camping was a great favorite pass time of dads accompanied with fishing or hunting. We had an old 1955 Dodge pick up that was an incredible work horse as it could take on any mountain. Dad would make camp like home and taught everyone how to cook and thoroughly enjoy the out of doors. He would cut a willow, carve a long gash on one side, then tap around and around the limb with his knife until he could slip the green outer bark off. Then he would carve into the white wood a slant at the tip like the reed for a clarinet and then he would slip the green skin back on. Give it to us to blow for a whistle. Dad had an old Model T Pickup that we would toot around town in for fun. It had to be cranked a couple of times with the handle in front and below the radiator to get it going. I could fill volumes with memories. Gene B Dodge May 17, 1925 to June 28, 1994 His hands were all hard and quite calloused, along with a muscular build. A Jack-of-all-trades it was obvious, a hammer and trowel he did wield. His hands always warm and so tender, often squeezing a lvoe t a knee. And across from a room he could render such love ina wink that we see. Training a child is a hard thing to do, with a laughter red face behind hands. With composure regained he now follow sthrough, now laughter tripped words are his stand. With children to raise a composer was born, who creates lyrics of shoe skis or hutch. Skis of blocke dwood and straps leather shorn, with tin bottoms lined smooth to the touch. The kids wre all loaded and the dog and the goat, as theyplanned to arrive early tat day. In Old REd, the Dodge truck, to the top they all rode, excited for a week they would stay. The roads were all rutted so deep from teh snow, that the truck really bounced all around. They found a great place where the river did flow, and camp wa as home would be found. Whistles were made from an old willow limb, and a john from lashed parts of a tree. A bath was tarped logs that filled to thte brim, a home with no walls it would be. A dad we all had through all thse days, he did the best he knew how. Love was higoal, that's how he would raise, eternal children fo find their way now. Darcy Adonis Dodge Kennedy
