This is the on-line version. The original was scanned and the text corrected for spellings, something that was very difficult in the original mimeograph process. There is also some minor editing. The Hales Manuscript pages being developed during the publication of the Old Series of The Hales Newsletter have been deleted because the content is now found in The Hales Chronicles, now in its second edition with the third edition planned for 2005.

The Hales Chronicles can be found on the Hales web-page at www.hales.org and at The Family History Library of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Salt Lake City, Utah; The Library of Congress at Washington, D.C.; The Library of The Society of Genealogists at London, England; and the Centre for Kentish Studies at Maidstone, Kent, England.

The Hales Newsletter is provided to the above cited repositories and the Allen County Public Library at Fort Wayne, Indiana. The Allen County Public Library indexes our publication and provides articles through their Periodical Source Index (PERSI).

If you would like a printed version, reprints of the Old Series of The Hales Newsletters are available at a cost of $3.00 each.

The Kenneth Glyn Hales family has moved again. As you can see by the address on this HALES NE\1SLETT'ER, the new address to use when writing to me is:

The Company that I work for, IBM Corporation, has decided to relocate the development laboratory operated by the General Products Division at Boulder, Colorado and open a new laboratory and manufacturing site at Tucson. This decision has made it necessary for me to relocate to Tucson and we did so the first part or April. The move has been in progress since last fall and life has been rather hectic since that time. The NEWSLETTER has suffered because of my lack of time, but I’m ready to get with it again. Thank you for your patience.

Our welcome to Tucson was not without alarm as two days before the moving van was to arrive someone broke into the home we purchased which was empty, and removed the carpets, drapes, light fixtures, and the shower heads. What an inconvenience it is to move in on carpet padding and to do battle with insurance adjusters to have things replaced. We now have everything fixed with the exception of the draperies. It was also an unwelcomed expense as the adjusters depreciated the carpets and draperies 15 percent. Along with the deductible expense the move to Tucson was a very expensive move.

This Newsletter only contains "News and Views." I had to struggle to get it out because of the difficulties in moving and I did want to let you all know where we are now living. The next Hales Newsletter will start to contain all or the sections that it did before.

This Hales Newsletter has been prepared in its entirety using a computer which I built for this purpose. To do this, I sit down and key in the information on the typewriter-styled keyboard with the information appearing; on a television screen. I can then proofread the information and correct it before causing it to print out on the typewriter – which cuts the stencils for the mimeograph printer. Using this technique the Hales Newsletter is a accurate as my ability to proofread (or spell). Also, since the computer is now finished, (more work than I thought it would be), I can once again devote my time to the Hales family.

Kenneth Gregory Hales marries Vicky Lynn Kehler. May 12 was the date and the Salt Lake City Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was the place where Kenneth Gregory Hales, son or Kenneth Glyn and Judy Hales, was married to Vicky Lynn Kehler, daughter of Walter and Shirley Kehler of 1590 Rice Creek Road, Fridley, Minnesota. An open house was held in their honor that evening at the home of Monte Frank and Hanne Hales in Salt Lake City. They set off on a trip to San Francisco, along the coast to Los Angeles (and Disneyland) and ended up at Tucson where they will start their home-life together. Congratulations to this new family in our Hales clan.

I have learned recently of the death of Robert Lewis Hale, a descendant of Hugh and Mary Hales of Maryland. This is the same Robert Hale who has done so much research on this family with data collected over a period of 50 years. Thanks to the efforts of Jeannette Gott of Denver, Colorado, also a descendant of this family, I have now in my possession a collection of index cards from the Robert L. Hale collection which was given to us by his daughter, Hester Ann. Hopefully the work which he started will continue and the Hales family can benefit from his efforts. The Hales family will miss this great man.
