Carl T. Jensen

On September 29, 1918, a baby boy was born to George J. Jensen and Mary Clarkson Jensen; Carl T. entered this world at 12:05 am in Boise, Idaho, at St. Alphonsus Hospital. We have to think that it was a beautiful, fall day with brilliant colors of red, yellow, orange and brown. Carl was named after his Uncle Carl and took Theodore as his middle name after President Roosevelt. The family resided in Jerusalem Valley, Idaho. He lost an older brother early on but was joined in later years by his brothers John, Donald, Edgar, Vern, and his sisters, Elinor and Margit. The family was raised in a conservative, Lutheran home and learned early on that respect, integrity and consideration of others was of utmost importance. They were a wonderful family unit!
