VanDenBerg Family History

Uncle Lester married Helen Waddingham in 1953, after spending years as a minister. After he left the ministry, he went back to Crawford, where he met a woman he liked. However, one of his best friends called him from Washington State and told him about this wonderful woman he should meet. Uncle Lester immediately borrowed Grandpa Charles’s car and drove nonstop
to meet Helen. They were married 3 months later! Uncle Lester worked as a carpenter and they raised two children, John T. and David. Aunt Helen was a well known commercial artist, and many of the family have one of her pictures.
