Photo: Orville, wife Faye & two boys from 1955/56s when they

stopped in at the  Stout  farm in Kilbourne, Mason co. Illinois.

Probably the shortest of the Hasty boys at 6' even.  

Went into the Air Force  as soon as he was old enough.

   Married "the girl next door"   and probably one of my

favorites out of the Uncles, besides Billy who was more

 my age and like an older brother. Orville had always been

thought of as a "slow Learner" but now a days his diagnosis

would definitely be Dyslexia...a condition he shared with a

Sister #6 Hasty and not at all understood in those days.   

  He tells of being locked in closet at school til he learned

 to read his assignment...which he finally figured out the

 story by looking at the pictures and imagining how the

story should go.  

Orville  was quiet and easy going, always looking out for

the younger siblings and trying to keep #12 Hasty out of

fights... or holding up for him when he was in a fight.  

 #12 just couldn't learn to keep his mouth shut and never could

 "whip his way out of a wet paper bag"  according to Uncle Orville

.   If the two boys were chosen to be on separate teams for  

sandlot baseball games, they would always get into a fight,,ALWAYS.. everyone would wait til it was over then go back to playing ball.

   You never got between brothers or family when there was a disagreement.    

                                                                                                                                                      

 Orville , wife & family currently reside in Rodgers, Ark. 

 Run a little country Store after losing the "chicken farm

 to a fire". Can you say FRIED CHICKEN..   Orville still has

 a wonderful sense of humor and seems to be alot like his

 Grandpa Simpson from all the stories I have heard about

 him (Grandpa Simpson).

During The Viet Nam War, Uncle Orville Air Force, front l

ine communications,  Uncle Joe Air Force, and Uncle Wayne,

 Navy (Interprise) were all in the same area.  

 Resulting from all the front line activity Uncle Orville

 went thru a period of heavy drinking and Mental collapse

 and was refused the option to return to Viet Nam.   

Each of the Uncles have dealt with their demons and

are retired but often remain aloof from the rest of the

 Family.    Orville suffered a stroke 10 years ago but

remains (in his own words) FUNCTIONAL.     He still has

 a great sense of humor!!
