Lonie Teachout (right) and her sister Amy, Perzynski.
These are the facts, Ma'am...Remember those words from Dragnet? Lonie Jayne Daley Teachout was born July 9th 1956. She is the daughter of Clifford Perzynski and Mom's double first cousin, Virginia May Daugherty. She is married to Walter Brent Teachout and has a daughter, Sarah. Brent and Lonie live near Rapid City.
Well...that's not much! Sometimes these types of information are all that are found in family searches. Well...Lonie visited us yesterday and today, and I learned much more than that. Our mothers, Virgie and Helen (Hostvet), are DOUBLE first cousins, and believe it or not, I felt like I was visiting with another sister...not that I need ANOTHER sister. I think that hubby Joe felt the same way. He was totally comfortable in Lonie's presence. We had some wonderful hours together, before Lonie headed to Stevens Point to spend some time with her mother.
Lonie is an artist...not unique to this family. She has spent way over 20 years of forming pots with a wheel for numerous clients. Her resume puts mine to shame. Lonie has worked hard to market her wonderful pottery and has gone to myriads of trade and art shows. At this point, her hands look like mine...some unique artist "bumps" on her fingers, and of course, not manicured fingernails. We both do, however, have very nice pedicures! You can't ruin those with artwork!
Lonie is tired of "making" things for other people's consumption. I'm sure that if you were to give her time to work to "her hearts's delight" she'd no doubt create a masterpiece. She travels from city to city, rodeo to rodeo, state to state, fair to fair, selling western stle purses, belts and interesting fashion pieces. And she's making a living. Yes, living in motel rooms, traveling to strange places, can be daunting, but Lonie is independent enough to enjoy what she's doing.
She came to our home after participating in the Minnesota Horse Ex-Po, held at the Minn. State Fair Grounds. Her weekend was a lucrative one. She keeps in contact with her family the whole time, and enjoys being able to offer fashion at a reasonable price to specific groups of people. She MIGHT be coming to the Spooner Rodeo in July...keep you fingers crossed.
Lonie and her relatives, share so much in common. I started to list these unique qualities, then erased them. I'd like the reader to help me characterize the qualities that the Daugherty/Carrington family share. They are so very "out there". At a later time, we can define them. Perhaps other families share definite characteristics..I only know that with the Daugherty/Carrington families, these attributes are very apparent.
