AUXILIARY WEBSITE LINKS |
Since we own and manage a few websites and it's so easy to share things in PDF form, I am designating this page to ride FREE and Piggy Back to our Firey Trails website so I can share unrelated postings from time to time in places like Facebook just by sharing this link....plus it can be in conjunction to the Facebook page created, Rock Creek Annual Reunion. I am calling this page "Firey Family Calendar Archives"....so if you're enjoying information posted on this page, please disregard the surrounding borders that only relate to our enterprise of Firey Trails and not to this unrelated web page. Thanks....and thanks for looking this up. - Diana Firey
We made a few family calendars through the years with stories, writings and other original collections on them. But the majority of calendars were just date and address information. Below we will list Links to the various writings by Month and Year of the calendars that had special collections on them. I got the idea to put these online when my son Chris asked me about being able to personally read the 1992 calendar-he was only 3 when it was made. So we made these online since calendars may have been misplaced (we had to borrow several from Linda because we haven't located our own copies yet), plus the younger ones in the 1990's and 2007 may have not seen or read these personal family written contributions, and one contributor, David Firey, is gone now. We hope everyone enjoys reading these, whether seeing for the first time or going down memory lane. Since we missed putting out a 2024 edition, we decided to double up and make a 2025 and 2026 2-Year Calendar with the usual updated birthdays and anniversaries, plus updated addresses, etc but because of lack of time, no other content as other calendars have had in previous years. Thanks, Linda Spess-Alford, for helping me update and proofread. Another main change is that we are using a new binding system that uses a wire binder, much better and more durable than the old plastic spines used since 1992. Also we are using 32 lb thicker paper to print both sides of calendar pages with cardstock only on the cover and back. So you can have both the online PDF calendar (for free) and an actual printed copy for $5 to cover paper, toner and wire spine. I will be printing duplex (2-sided month) copies of the calendar over the next couple of days (Jan 21st and 22nd, 2025) and Ray will bind those copies up. Email me at rdfirey@gmail.com or text me on my mobile (918-639-0002) to order a hardbound copy. In the meanwhile I will send a link (to whoever I think might be interested) to this Firey Trails page where the new calendar can be viewed and/or printed. (I made the last 2023 issue PDF also and was able to keep on my phone screen to look at - but usually there are an ad or two to wade through to get to the PDF document.)

We called this installment "In His Own Words" in memory of David Firey from his own writings. A couple months were printed horizontally (link below) for a long poem he wrote while in Vietnam, but otherwise the other ten months are vertically online with photos below
