Durtschi Family Reunion
On the fourth of July, our family celebrated 100 years in the Teton Valley. Our Grandfather Alfred Durtschi and his family came to America in 1908 and one year later entered the Teton Valley. We love our Durtschi heritage and felt honored to celebrate our family history.
These pictures had been accidentally deleted from my camera and I was devastated. Fortunately I was able to have them restored. What a relief that was. This will probably be the last time I will see my mother in her Swiss dress.

My mother is the last surviving member of the original Durtschi family. We were apart of the 4th of July Parade in Victor Idaho. My mother, Lucile and I, rode in the original Durtschi wagon that her parents used to travel to the Teton Valley. This wagon is on display in a museum in Driggs Idaho along with a beautiful organ that belonged to the Durtschi family that we had in our home growing up.
