Deloris Schark, Dixie Schark, Tisha Johnson and Rylie Johnson all flew to Hemit, Calif., to visit Deloris's brother and his wife, Ronald and Jean Hudson. She hadn’t seen them in four years. They drove to San Diego, went to the ocean, visited the naval base there, had lunch by the ocean and “had a wonderful time.” They saw other sites, as well. “It was quite something,” Deloris said: Great-grandma, grandma, granddaughter and great-granddaughter. It was the first time that the great-granddaughter had flown. The chilly morning by the Pacific turned into a warm afternoon.
