1937 - Helen Rex's trip to Los Angeles to visit her fiance Glenn Frazier

We surely had a Grand Time. I mean Glenn and I.


My father, Glenn Frazier moved  from Woodruff, Utah to Los Angeles, California in 1936. There he lived, attended school, and worked.  He left his girlfriend, Helen Rex behind in Randolph, Utah. There she worked in the Rich County Court House where she saved and planned for their future marriage.

In May 1937 Helen vacationed  in Los Angles, California with her fiance Glenn. Upon her return to Randolph she wrote a three page letter to her brother Harold Morgan Rex. He was serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Brazil. The pictures she saved and her letter to her brother described her WONDERFUL trip to California.  Grateful I am to her brother and family for saving her letter for me.  And for Helen!  I'm so PROUD of her for pulling off that dream trip.

I don't know his name. 
Helen wrote her brother Harold: "A fellow from Mississippi is living with him, and he doesn’t even have any kind of work. So Glenn does feel pretty good about his luck."
