Dennis Winger: Hard Work, Hollywood Glamour & Scarcity

Dennis Winger: Hard Work, Hollywood Glamour & Scarcity

Dennis Winger’s life is one of hard work, Hollywood glamour, and scarcity. This contrast is continuity rooted in hard work, shaped by service. This is a story where long days of labor meet the shimmer of Hollywood, and the lessons of scarcity become the foundation for strength, gratitude, and connection across time.

Dennis Ray Winger Hard Working

Dennis Ray Winger (father) was born on October 30th, 1944, in Salt Lake City, Utah. He is the second son of Ancil Winger and Florence Bernice Wright. The favorite childhood pastime was placing pennies on the train tracks and watching as the passing train flattened them.

In 1955, the family moved to Orem, Utah. He attended Orem High School, where he played football and excelled in shop (Wolf & Wolf, 2025). 

He got a job at Albertsonโ€™s, dusting shelves and pulling stock forward to help prevent theft in a high-theft area. One day, a gentleman took a paint can off the shelf and walked out. His boss said, โ€œWe cannot stop them from stealing.โ€  He asked his boss to move him to bagging groceries because he did not enjoy the dusting position.

A simple coin flip with a friend over who would take Eileen Wake to the Welcome Back to School Dance. Denny won. This determined the beginning of his most important relationship, the one that would shape his future. That simple coin flip led to a first date at Brick Oven Pizza, and a school dance with the young woman who would one day become his eternal companion.

In 1964, he moved with his family to Hawaii when his father was transferred. Here he worked with a construction company. He missed Eileen and could not wait to get back to Utah. He returned 6 months later. They continue dating.

Their love grew steadily. After discussing marriage and selecting a ring from Zales Jewelry, the proposal came in the car at an A&W drive-in. A year later, Sep. 9, 1965, they were married in the Salt Lake City Temple, beginning their eternal journey together.

They shared 60 years of marriage and raised seven children before my mother passed away on December 1, 2025. My father lovingly cared for my mother for 10 years after her dementia diagnosis. 

In January 1966, he joined the Army National Guard. He took the Armed Forces Qualification Test. This placed him in the combat medical program. He went to Fort Sam, TX, for medical training after basic training at Fort Ord, CA. He was released back to his Battalion in June 1966. He served 1 1/2 years with the Army Battalion. He was promoted to Private 1st class. 

My dad was offered a job at Hill Air Force Base in 1968, after completing instrument training. He was hired to work on avionics. He worked at Hill  Air Force Base as a civil servant until his retirement.

He was then discharged from the army in January. 2, 1969. He interviewed with Captain Waesche to join the Air Force Reserves. He joined the 945th Air Lift Wing in Jan, 1969. Hill Air Force Base stopped flying C124, thus ending the 945th unit at Hill Air Force Base. 

The unit flew to McCord Air Force Base to check their air evacuation unit. On January 3, 1972, he joined the 40th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron. During his two-week tours, he evacuated Vietnam Vets from Japan and the Philippines, bringing them back to the US.

He served 31 years in the reserves. He says, โ€I worked every weekend for 4 years.โ€ When he retired, he had been promoted to Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, the highest rank for a non-commissioned officer.-commissioned officer.

This provided endless opportunities, even into retirement, benefiting his family. Provided enough income for my mom to stay home, and in retirement, endless benefits. My parents traveled together, seeing the world. I remember the fun of taking dad to the airport, having the plane fly over our car, and having dinner out on the way home.  

Built on Hard Work and Sacrifice

My father is always a very hard worker. I learned from him to work hard and play even harder. From the beginning, he quietly carried the responsibility of ensuring the bills were paid, the family was secure, and my mother could stay at home. He made many sacrifices to make that happen, but he never complained. His strength was his foresight. He always seemed to know exactly what needed to be done to keep life steady for all of us.

Yet when the work was done, he became the father who gave us adventure. He would load three little kids into the yellow Rambler and set off across the western United States. Those trips were full of fishing, camping, exploring, touching the earth, seeing new places, and learning about the world around us.

One trip took us to the Worldโ€™s Fair in Spokane. But he didnโ€™t just drive straight there. We traveled through Idaho, stopping along the way to take in the scenery. We crossed into Oregon, drove up through the Columbia River Gorge, and went on to Seaside and Portland. I remember crossing a beautiful green bridge there and saying out loud, โ€œSomeday Iโ€™m going to live here.โ€ And years later, I did, spending 17 years there raising my own children.

When we finally reached Spokane, the fair felt magical, so much to see, learn, touch, and experience. But his greatest joy was making sure we stood together for a photo in front of the giant Unisphere-Pavilion and the big gold Book of Mormon.

He took us to so many places: Yellowstone, the hot springs of Idaho, Jackson, Wyoming, and the red rock landscapes of southern Utah. Sometimes he would hitch the trailer to the Rambler so we could camp along the way and stretch the adventure just a little longer. He loved to stop on the side of the road whenever something beautiful caught his eye. For him, the journey was always just as important as the destination.

He worked more than forty hours a week at Hill Air Force Base, driving 70 miles one-way. Many weekends, he would travel to Seattle before heading overseas as a medic in the Air Force Reserves. He journeyed to the Philippines, Japan, Korea, served in Desert Storm, the North Pole, and more. The list of places is as long as an atlas. Yet no matter how far he traveled, he always carried his family with him.

When the unit went out to eat, he stayed behind, knowing the meal might cost $40. My dad knew that $40 meant something different; it could feed his children. Therefore, instead of going out, he would order a military lunchbox to go. He saved the lunchbox to bring it home to his children, who raced for the treasure from dadโ€™s journey.

As we journeyed to Phoenix after my motherโ€™s passing, we enjoyed a traditional Christmas dinner with my daughterโ€™s family, and we walked around Little America to see the lights. The air was full of that familiar holiday feeling. We stopped by the North Pole display. Thatโ€™s when my dad shared something I had never fully understood as a child. He said, โ€œI used to have you write your letters early because I always had a mission near the North Pole. It was important to me to get that stamp on a letter.โ€

As children, we always wondered why we had to write our Christmas letters so early, and how they ended up with a North Pole postmark. Only now, as an adult, do I understand. While he traveled the world with the military, he was still thinking about us. 

While on our road trip to Phoenix, we stopped at Zion National Park. He picked up some postcards from the gift shop. He mailed these postcards to his children. A tradition he started on his overseas journeys. We always got postcards from my dad’s overseas adventures. These small gestures are his way of staying connected while making sacrifices.

Audrey Hepburn: A Legacy of War, Survival, and Grace

Audrey Hepburn Connectivty A taste of family history
Audrey Hepburn

 Audrey Kathleen Hepburn-Ruston (Maternal 14th Cousin) was born on 4 May 1929 in Ixelles, Bruxelles-Capitale, Belgium. Her father was a Nazi sympathizer. When her parents divorced, she moved to Holland with her mother to escape the Nazi invasion and continued to study dance. But the following year, the country fell to German rule. As a young girl, she witnessed public executions, trainloads of Jewish families sent to concentration camps, and the shooting of her uncle. 

The Nazis seized her familyโ€™s property, jewelry, and bank accounts, leaving them with nothing. Still, they vowed to raise money for the Resistance, so she performed ballet in secret shows. Behind locked doors and covered windows, she danced for silent audiences that did not clap out of fear of being discovered.

Children were less likely to be stopped by Nazis, so she became a messenger for resistance groups and smuggled secret notes in her socks. Meat and gas were scarce. When food ran out, she had to eat tulip bulbs and drink water to keep her stomach full.

Her severe malnutrition led to respiratory problems, jaundice, edema, and later anemia. And then on her 16th birthday, Canadian troops liberated Holland. The war was over, but it left a lasting impact on her. Severe malnutrition had stunted her growth and made it impossible for her to pursue ballet, so she turned to acting instead.

โ€œI was asked to act when I couldnโ€™t act and dance when I couldnโ€™t dance… and do all kinds of things I wasnโ€™t prepared for. Then I tried like mad to cope with it. Auditioning for roles she never got was frustrating. But after several minor roles, she landed her first lead. โ€˜Roman Holidayโ€™ won her an Oscar for Best Actress. She is one of only 12 artists ever to win an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards. 

Her iconic style in โ€˜Breakfast at Tiffanyโ€™sโ€™ continues to influence high fashion to this day. A UN (United Nation) Ambassador, she later retired from acting to help victims of war all around the world. Quote: โ€˜as you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.โ€™ 

In honor of her humanitarian efforts, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and a hybrid tulip was created in her name.โ€ (Goalcast, 2018)

Audrey Hepburn died on January 20, 1993, in Tolochenaz, Switzerland, from appendicular cancer.

Course Soup
Cuisine American
Keyword Chicken, CHicken Noodle Soup, Food, Noodle, Recipe, soup
Prep Time 1 day 4 hours
Cook Time 4 hours

Ingredients

  • 5 TBSP Butter
  • 1/2 Medium Onion, diced
  • 2 Stalks Celery, diced
  • 6 Small Carrots, diced
  • 1 Whole Chicken
  • 4 Cups Chicken Broth
  • โ…“ Cup Flour
  • 2 Bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 TSP Fresh thyme (or dried)
  • 2 TSP Dried parsley
  • Homemade pasta (see recipe below) May use premade pasta
  • Mashed Potatoes (see recipe below) May use premade potatoes

Mashed Potatoes

  • 8 Large Russet potatoes or any starchy variety peeled and cubed in quarters
  • ยผ lb Butter
  • ยพ Cup Double Cream (heavy cream) Heavy cream is a great alternative
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Homemade Noodles

  • 2 โ…“ Cup Pasta Flour May use all-purpose flour
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 3 TBSP Water
  • ยฝ TBSP Salt

Instructions

  • Cooking Chickent/Broth In a large soup pot, add salt and pepper to a pot full of cold water, bay leaf, crushed peppercorns, parsley, and thyme. Watch for grayish foam or bubbles at the top. Use a fine mesh skimmer, spoon, or ladle to gently remove the oil/reminants on the top. Repeat every few minutes until the surface stays mostly clear. Cook chicken until done, remove chicken from the broth, and allow to cool. Strain the broth with cheesecloth/fine mesh strainer, and set aside. When the chicken is cool, remove the bones and skin, and shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a large pot, melt 5 tablespoons of butter and add the onion, carrot, and celery, 1 tsp thyme, 1 tsp parsley, salt, and pepper to taste. Sautรฉ over medium-high heat until vegetables have softened, stirring frequently. Stir in 1/3 cup flour with the vegetables, mix well, cooking over medium heat, about 2 minutes. Add 2 cups of broth to the flour, blend well until no lumps. Bring soup to a low boil, stirring frequently, until soup thickens. Carefully pour the remaining chicken broth and mix until smooth as you bring it to a simmer on low heat. Cook for 1 to 2 hours on low; it may simmer, but not to a boil. Mound a serving of mashed potatoes onto the top of the chicken soup.

Mashed Potatoes

  • Prepare and boil the potatoes:
    Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters.
    Place them in a large pot with heavily salted cold water, enough to
    cover them completely. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer
    until the potatoes are fork tender.
  • Dry the potatoes:
    Drain the potatoes well and let them sit in a colander for a few minutes allowing the steam to evaporate. This prevents the mash from becoming watery.
  • Mash the potatoes:
    For the silkiest texture, use a potato ricer or food mill to mash the potatoes into a clean pot. This removes lumps and aerates the potatoes.Avoid a food processor or blender, which can overwork the starches and make the potatoes gluey.
    Add the salt and white pepper to taste, softened butter, and warmed cream to the riced potatoes using a spoon or spatula until the mixture is smooth and luxurious. Keep covered.

Homemade Noodles

  • Mound pasta flour in the middle of large cutting board. Form a small indendtaion in the center (like a volcano). Place the eggs and water into the well. With a fork slowly icnorporate the flour int the eggs until a dough forms.
  • Knead using the hell of your hand until smooth. Cover dough in plastic wrap and rest 30 minutes at room temprturea
  • Form noodles, cut the dough into fourths. Flour a large work area and use a floured rolling pin to roll the dough until is ยผ inch thickness (or use a pasta maker). Use a knife to cut the dough into ยผ-inch strip

Food Scarcity


Food scarcity, starvation, and the struggle to meet basic needs are not distant tragedies. These are my familyโ€™s history. These are the stories carried in quiet glances, in empty plates, in the ingenuity of making something out of almost nothing. They are the legacy I come from, not just of hunger, but of survival.


Effects of Food Scarcity on the Body

When the body does not receive enough calories or nutrients, it begins to conserve energy and sacrifice long-term health for survival.

  • Sudden and unplanned weight loss.
  • Loss of appetite and interest in food or fluids.
  • Uncharacteristic tiredness or low energy levels.
  • Joint pain, muscle aches, and other bodily ailments. (Action Against Hunger, 2024)
  • Dizziness, poor coordination, and poor concentration.
  • Difficulty keeping warm.
  • Reduced immune function.
  • The body slows metabolism and reduces non-essential functions.

Food Scarcity Through Family History

Palatinate Emigrants (Germany)  1703-1710

Causes:

  • 1701-1714 Spanish War
  • 1707 Hailstorm destroyed crops 
  • 1708 Cattle Plague 

Timeline:

  • 1708-1709 Coldest winter in a millennium Birds froze mid-air (Palatine migration to England, n.d.)
  • 1709 Emigrated to Holland/England, suffered days of fasting 
  • Food scarcity followed them to America (Franzrebjo, 2020)

Pioneer & Frontier (US) 1840โ€“1890

Causes:

  • Isolation
  • Crop failure
  • Harsh winters
  • Limited trade routes

Family Food Traditions: 

  • Tiny biscuits 
  • Stretching food, adding bran to potatoes
  • Sego lily bulbs
  • Foraged greens (ChatGPT, 2026)

Scandinavia Faminae 1867โ€“1869

Causes:

  • Extreme winters and rain, 1866
  • Repeated harvest failures
  • Cattle died of malnutrition 
  • Severe grain shortages and soaring food prices

Families survived eating:

  • Bark bread (made from ground pine bark mixed with flour) 
  • Boiled lichens, thin gruels 
  • The relief laws required labor or moral investigation. (ChatGPT, 2026)

Dutch Famine 1944โ€“1945

Statistic:

  • Affected 4.5 million
  • 22,000 people died
  • In April 1944, rations were reduced from 483 to 268 calories. 
  • Famine resulting in long-term effects on the descendants of the Hongerwinter generation (Fรถcking, n.d.)

Food Resources:

  • Tulip and sego lily bulbs boiled, baked, or ground into flour
  • Sugar beets
  • Potato peels
  • Grass or weeds
  • Flour made from ground animal fat (ChatGPT, 2026)


Why This Matters for Family History
Food Scarcity Shapes:

  • Many โ€œquirksโ€ in family recipes are adaptive survival behaviors
  • Cooking styles (small portions, simple ingredients)
  • Reservations to waste food
  • Adding potatoes to ground meat dishes to stretch food
  • Saving bacon grease (Grandma Ruth did this)
  • Watering down milk (a practice in my childhood home)
  • Using stale bread in puddings
  • Frugal preservation habits (grandmother used watermelon rinds in her fruit cake)
  • Health outcomes across generations
  • (ChatGPT, 2026)

Family Stories 

Anna Maria Keller and her husband Johann Martin Seubert

Anna Maria Keller and her husband Johann Martin Seubert, (7th paternal great-grandparents) endured decades of food scarcity while living in Vorderweidenthal, Palatinate, Bavaria, Germany, in the early 1700s. War raged, famine spread, crops failed again and again, and food scarcity became a daily reality.

Spanish troops burned the homes to the ground, forcing families to shelter in the open earth beneath the sky. Hailstorms destroyed what little crops survived, cattle plague spread rapidly, and one of the coldest winters of the millennium further devastated food supplies. Families fasted for days at a time, with no bread or grazing available (Franzrebjo, 2020). 

Amid these extreme conditions, the couple joined an estimated 10,000โ€“15,000 Palatines who fled Germany, traveling first to Holland and then arriving in London, England. โ€œThe Palatines, most of whom arrived ill and destitute, camped out at first in parks and yards, in government-provided tents in Blackheath, Camberwell and Greenwich.โ€ (House of Commons against the naturalizing of foreigners, 1693). London lacked sufficient food to sustain the influx of refugees, overwhelming local resources. Authorities ultimately determined that the Palatines should be resettled in the American colonies. 

Approximately 3,000 Palatines, including Anna Maria and Johann, boarded the 3rd ship, Fame, for a 10-13 week journey across the Atlantic. Illness, malnutrition, and starvation continued throughout the voyage. (Jones, 1985). 

The family of 4 arrived on July 14, 1710, in New York. They were required to work producing tar and pitch for the British Navy to repay the cost of their passage. Instead of relief, they remained trapped in cycles of food scarcity and poor living conditions, suffering delays in rations and ongoing vitamin deficiencies. (Jones, 1985) Anna Maria Keller (Birth 1685โ€“ Death 25 November 1789, age 104) and Johann Martin Seubert (c. 1674โ€“16 July 1739)

Lucy Bronson

Lucy Bronson (4th maternal great-grandmother) died from scurvy in Ponca, Nebraska, during the westward migration of the Mormon pioneers. She remained in the area for an extended period while the company prepared to continue west. At that time, there was no access to fresh vegetables or other vitamin-rich foods, conditions that led to prolonged nutritional deficiency. Lucy โ€œsuffered the most excruciating pain and distressโ€ (Bronson Boden, 1963, p. 53) as a result of scurvy. She endured the illness for several months before her death. Following her passing, members of the Ponca community removed her bones and laid them in the open, allowing her bones to bleach in the sun, described as being done โ€œas a token of the hatred and animosity to the white peopleโ€ (Bronson Boden, 1963, p. 53). Her death reflects the extreme hardships faced by pioneer families during periods of food scarcity, illness, and migration. Birth 26 June 1795 โ€“ Death 7 February 1847

1-Magdalana Pickle Durfee
Magdalana Pickle Durfee

Magdalena Pickle

Magdalena Pickle (4th paternal great-grandmother) was born in Palatine, Montgomery, New York, the town where her second maternal great-grandparents settled when arriving in the American Colonies. This community was known for scarcity. Her great-grandparents settled here after emigrating from Germany. In 1850, she was preparing to cross the plains. She passed away before being able to make the trip. (FamilySearch, n.d.)

In the 1850 winter, conditions in Musketol Creek, Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie, Iowa, often left stores depleted by Marchโ€“May. Food supplies included:

  • Coarse flour
  • Foraged greens
  • Limited meat
  • Some emigrants’ accounts included near-starvation rations. (ChatGPT 2026) Born 6 June 1788 โ€“ Death 17 May 1850 (Bennett, 1987, pp. 142โ€“155)

Grandma Dorothea โ€œDollyโ€ Durfee and Paulina Clarissa Spink

Upon arriving in Utah, Grandma Dorothea โ€œDollyโ€ Durfee (3rd paternal great-grandmother) and Paulina Clarissa Spink (4th maternal great-grandmother) relied on sego lily bulbs as a source of flour during harsh winters. Spinkโ€™s grandchildren recalled that they โ€œwould go to the Cold Springs south of Willard, where sego lilies grew as large as onions. They would dig as many as would keep fresh for any length of time. They made bread from them, dried and boiled them, and used the sego lily in many ways for foodโ€ (FamilySearch, n.d., KWJG-JHP; FamilySearch, n.d., KWJY-VKK).

Dorothea was known for her biscuits. Her tiny biscuits were made throughout her life and reflected her experiences with starvation. She cut them small and dainty, so that each biscuit was little more than a mouthful for a hungry man, a quiet reminder of the scarcity she had once endured. (FamilySearch, n.d.)

Dorathea โ€œDollyโ€™ Durfee 8 March 1816 โ€“ 14 June 1885. Paulina Clarissa Spink  20 November 1800 โ€“ 8 December 1885.

Keturah Eliza Button and her daughter Lovisa Andrews

Keturah Eliza Button and her daughter Lovisa Andrews (3rd and 4th maternal great-grandmothers), endured many hardships on the journey west. The struggles did not end when the journey ended.

 Lovisaโ€™s history states, โ€œShe walked the greater part of the way. With her at [SIC] that time were her parents and two younger sisters, Olivia, 14, and Jane, 11. This family endured the hardships and sacrifices for the sheer want of necessities on the long, weary journey, arriving at their destination with the Richards Company in 1847.โ€ (FamilySearch 2013) 

Upon arrival in Salt Lake City, Keturahโ€™s family knew the pangs of hunger. They planted potatoes because they would grow quickly and produce calories needed for survival.

When the potatoes were harvested the next spring, she was crying and singing over the good fortune. She cleaned and cooked the potatoes, then thickened them with bran and plenty of water. For the first time since coming to Utah, the little family sat down and ate to their hearts’ content. (Daughters of Utah Pioneers, n.d.) Lovisa Andrews 19 March 1830 โ€“ 17 July 1912. Keturah Eliza Button1 2 December 1810 โ€“ 17 December 1889

Dr Carolina Nielson Left Abusive husband when he married 2nd wife George Lawerence's Beef Stew
Dr Carolina Nielson

Karna (Caroline) Mikkelson Mortenson

Karna (Caroline) Mikkelson Mortenson (3rd maternal great-grandmother) was born on January 25, 1842, in the small village of Hรคstad, Malmรถhus (Skรฅne), Sweden. Sweden was experiencing severe hardship during this period. Major crop failures between 1867 and 1869, combined with long winters, short summers, and early frosts, led to widespread famine, malnutrition, and illness that claimed thousands of lives. In desperation, many people turned to moss, lichen, bark bread, and sego lily bulbs for sustenance. Illness was common, particularly among those who consumed bread made from lichen. (FamilySearch, n.d., KWJ8-KTF)

Caroline emigrated to Utah on June 13, 1868, aboard the ship Emerald Isle. Her journey was marked by continued food scarcity and hardship. Despite these challenges, she earned her medical degree after arriving in Utah and served her community with dedication to wellbeing and health. (Forchion, 2025)

Caroline passed away on March 27, 1923 (FamilySearch, n.d.).

Audrey Heburn

Audrey Heburn(14th maternal cousin). A People magazine article, it discusses Hepburnโ€™s early childhood. โ€œTowards the end of the war, Matzen writes, โ€œ[Her] once-plump face had grown thin, her eyes dull. Her wrists, knees, and ankles were swollen. She couldnโ€™t sit comfortably, because her buttocks had withered away, and she couldnโ€™t get warm no matter how many blankets she wrapped herself in. These were all signs of acute anemia and edema,โ€ says Matzen. โ€œMany young people in Holland suffered from severe edema, [swelling of the joints] due to lack of nourishment for weeks and months on end. . . Hepburn later described โ€˜how she and her older brother, Alex, went into the fields to find a few turnips, endives, grass, even tulips.โ€™โ€ (McNeil, 2019)

In the end, these stories, of hard work, glimpses of glamour, and seasons of scarcity, are bound together by something deeper: connection. There is more than recipes; it is resilience on a plate, memory in every bite, and a legacy carried forward, one table, one story, and one meal at a time.
