Brief introduction includes reminiscing on old TV show Dallas and meeting Patrick Duffy and R2D2 at the Superdome in New Orleans. Many relatives talk to the Scarabin family in Tembagapura, Indonesia just after they'd arrived - Scarabins-Gertrude, James Randolph Scarabin, Jeffrey Mervin "Buzzy" Scarabin, Minos Paul Scarabin, Louis Melvin Scarabin, Sr., Helen Mae Wright Adolph, Quentin Scott Evans, Helen Gail Adolph Portie, Brent Edward Portie, Lillian and Ernest Leonard "Pompy" Scarabin, Helen Mae again, Clarence Henry Adolph, Sr., Kyle Louis Bergeron, Craig Alan Bergeron, Carolyn Del Adolph Bergeron. Featuring multiple family members exchanging messages with loved ones, Louis M. "DD" Scarabin, Jr., Marilyn Kay Adolph and the kids, who are currently away. The recording, dated May 22-27, 1976 (MawMaw mistakenly says April 23), from Boothville, captures a heartfelt and casual conversation filled with updates on daily life, family activities, and expressions of longing for those who are absent. Fishing and shrimping activities are mentioned, with mixed success (e.g., catching $90-$200 worth of shrimp). Household tasks like cleaning, gardening (e.g., harvesting butter beans and red beans), and trailer preparations are ongoing. Weather affects plans, with rain delaying trailer deliveries and outdoor work. Church attendance is noted, with some family members absent due to illness. A new trailer for Gail is delivered, described as nice but challenging to organize due to her belongings. Births (e.g., Sal’s new baby boy) and two deaths (Michelle "Mickey" Adams, 9, from car accident; Dr. Rees, 63, from a heart attack) are mentioned.
