My Grandpa, Franklin Reed Baldwin, passed away four years ago today. In my family, he earned the nickname Grandpa Gussy because he called many of us Gussy when we were younger. I thought I’d post some movies about my Grandpa. He was an amazing example in his lifetime, as is my Grandma.
Thanks for creating a family so centered on the Gospel Grandpa that the generations now living are blessed beyond you could probably imagine.

In 2006 I completed the transcription of my grandpa’s, Theone Beattie, life history for my mom. He dictated his history in the High Priest Group in his ward before he died.
I have created a few artifacts that may be of interest:
Bindable PDF (4.3MB). Print this PDF on 8.5″ x 11″ paper (landscape orientation). Cut the print out down the middle, take it to Kinkos, and bind it with a cool black spiral binding.
On-screen viewing PDF (4.3MB). This PDF is 5.5″ wide and 8.5″ tall. This PDF is the actual size of the printed booklet. Great for reading on the computer.
CD Sleeve (1.8MB). Print this PDF on 8.5″ x 11″ paper or card stock. Cut on the crop marks, fold, and insert into your jewel case.
Companion MP3 audio tracks (28.4MB). These MP3 files are the source of the life history taken from a copy of the original tape.
I also have audio of my Grandma, Thelma Beattie, like Grandpa’s above. I have two long MP3 files that I haven’t chopped up into tracks yet. The first MP3 is 28:15 in length and the second is 15:39. The quality of the recording is much better than Grandpa’s and there is much less background noise.
Click here to download the zipped files (38MB).
