Think Kind Thoughts, Voyageur Publishing Co. Inc., 2007.
The book: The first section of this book begins with genealogies of Rita's family back and continues with stories about her grandparents and parents as well as her own life until she married Eric. A good deal of this section comes from Rita's writing, particularly the letters she wrote to her parents when she was in Japan with her sister Kay. The second section covers the couple during their time at the University of Wisconsin, the University of Oslo and Cornell University, and ends when they are ready to depart for their first Foreign Service assignment at the embassy in Bangkok, Thailand.
The author: Rita and Eric Youngquist met at the University of Michigan, married and traveled overseas to Bangkok, Thailand, and Helsinki, Finland, where they had assignments with the Foreign Service. Eric currently lives in Nashville, Tennessee.
