Dear Family,

In 1980, my mother, Rae Mendenhall Evanson, wrote a letter (see below) to her sibligs on their families and her father, Thomas Tew Mendenhall. She compiled a large collection of family history that was rarely seen.

I’ve begun digitizing her work and creating a website so our family can more easily explore and appreciate his life and legacy. This is still a work in progress.

I’m also updating our family directory (parents and children) with current contact information. So far, I have details from the families of Karen Olsen and Rae Evanson.

If you’re willing, I would appreciate any information you can share—stories, photos, documents, or updated contact details.

Thank you for your help.

Warm regards,

Thomas Evanson
