During that time I had a chance to teach at the BYU Jerusalm Center for Near Eastern Studies. I retired from teaching in 2000 due to health a personal issues.

My present wife, Noriko, was a former student at BYU-Hawaii. She loves cats and we have a great Black Lab we call Ski-Lani. Now days, my social life consists of visiting doctors. It was nice of David Thayne to make contact with me. He and I (along with a brother and sister) sang in the Tabernacle Choir together for a brief time. I have many good memories about PHS.

Date July 16, 2002 Lena LaVon Hatfield Lena LaVon Hatfield, 63, returned to her heavenly father with a beautiful smile on her face July 13, 2002, due to an extended illness. She was born July 6, 1939 in Hill Spring, Alberta Canada. She was the daughter of Archibald Reece and Anne Smith Allred. She was the third of five children. LaVon was raised in Hill Spring until she was thirteen, she then moved to Provo, UT, where she graduated from Provo High School in 1957. She married her sweetheart, whom she loved dearly for forty-five cherished years, in the Salt Lake LDS temple soon after graduation. They had a happy life together raising their three sons. LaVon enjoyed every minute that she was able to spend spoiling her ten grandchildren.
She spent her life in service working as a nurse's aid and serving in various organizations of the church. In her later years she served her fellow man by participating in a family home evening program and made knit hats for a church humanitarian program. She blessed her family with her love for music and story telling. LaVon was a gifted mother, cook, canner and peacemaker. She liked to read and was the number one fair-weathered fan of the BYU football team with frequent outbursts during the games. In her younger years she was "just one of the guys, " and could not be out done by her husband or sons at any outdoor activity. Her greatest love in life was being with her family and defending her grandchildren from their parents' discipline. She is survived by her dear husband Jerrald Hatfield; her mother, Anne Smith Allred; three sisters and one brother, Colene Oviatt, JoAnne Dowdle, Lori Rassmussen, and McKay Allred; three sons, Steve (Janine), Neal (Kathy), and Richard (Jennifer); and ten beautiful grandchildren. Her father, Archibald Reece Allred, preceded her in death. We all will miss the love and comfort she has shared with us. We love you grandma!

2007 UPDATES: I haven't made it to any of the reunions and haven't seen David since high school, but I had an immediate picture of him pop into my head of almost 50 years ago. I'll send a current picture of myself as soon as I go to glamour photos. HA! My husband Richard and I live in Edmond, Oklahoma. Say where? No, it is not as pretty as Utah, but someone has to live here. We have five wonderful daughters and one superb son that have managed to give us fifteen outstanding, talented, loving and gifted grandchildren. Since leaving Provo I have lived in California, Utah, Colorado, Texas, Kentucky and Oklahoma. I speak the native language of all six states and know where to pan for gold in most of them. I love genealogy work and I have taught
genealogy on two different college campuses. I am working on my ninth family history book. We have had a life full of wonderful travel, service, joy and just enough sorrow to keep us humble. It was a shock to find out that I didn't just grow smarter and wiser in all areas of life, in many I only got older. Old ladies crying or having a temper fit really isn't pretty.

In my younger years I enjoyed tennis, dancing and playing the organ and piano. Today I enjoy gentle yoga, early-morning walks with my husband, growing flowers and being with my family. And thanks to my dear high school friends Evelyn, Margene and Venita, I have been bitten with the family history bug. This has provided many choice experiences that I treasure.
Jan and I love and appreciate our six children and 14 grandchildren. We are blessed with excellent health and many choice blessings. I truly enjoy this season of my life.

***At Reunion***Bullock, Phil 2232 Downington Ave, Salt Lake City, UT 84108 USA [email protected]/Partner: widowedFROM 1987 BIOGRAPHY: HOBBIES: camping, hiking, dancing, electronics OCCUPATION: economist
2007 UPDATES: I check into the website every once in a while just to see what is going on. I don't think I will post much but I will try to get a recent picture of me posted before the reunion. My guess is that most of our class don't use internet based communication. Activity might increase as more people find out about it and we get closer to the reunion.
I have logged in about 10 times so if the other 25 people also logged in 10 times that could account for 250 of the 700.
You might suggest that classmates in a given area try to get together for lunch every month or two. You could post the date, time and location of those events on the website. If the social butterflies in the class would get something started maybe some of the rest of us would join in once in a while. You could send a monthly email letter with the dates and times of the lunches and that alone would get people thinking about it.
For the record, I usually contribute financially when I don't want to do any of the work.
Busterud, Kay Lynne [Bullock] 112 Los Patios, Los Gatos, CA 95032 USA 408 871 [email protected]/Partner: Richard B. BullockChildren: Chett (1960); Sean (1963); Christopher (1966); Justin (1970); Nicole (1973); Braden (1976)After high school I attended BYU, and in 1959, I married Dick Bullock. Dick had finished a mission to Brazil and had come home to complete his undergraduate work at BYU. We then moved to Palo Alto, CA (Northern CA) where Dick attended the Stanford Law School. After Dick's graduation from Stanford, we bought a home in Los Gatos, CA, where Dick practiced law, and we raised 5 boys and 1 girl and became a part of this wonderful and beautiful small town community. I have worked as a legal secretary and recently retired from the San Jose Mercury News where I worked as an executive administrative assistant and executive sales rep in National Advertising. We are at home in Los Gatos, continuing to love this beautiful and unique area of Northern CA and above all being within minutes from our six children and six grandchildren ranging in ages from 1 week to 14 years. (4 girls and 2 boys this time!) My joy and completeness come from my family. I thrive and find such happiness in all of the busy and fun activity and time we spend together. It is fun to be a part of this special class and share in all of the fun memories and especially now for the enthusiasm that we feel in getting together again soon. My interests these days include tennis, antique collecting, interior decorating, and sailing every chance we get.

2007 UPDATES: Hi (Classmates) - I bumped into Margene Simmons in the Missionary Training Center's health center where Janet and I were getting our Japenese Encephalitis shots prior to going to the Singapore Mission in two days. She showed me the web site, and since today is our P-day, I'm dropping you a note. Nice going on the reunion work! I enjoyed reading about the kids who have reported in. Keep after them all!
We will be serving in the Singapore Mission for 18 months (unless they extend us), so we should be home in time for the
reunion. We will serve in a country outside of Singapore, but won't know where until we get there and the President interviews us. The mission includes East and West Malaysia, Brunei, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, The Maldives, Diego Garcia, and Pakistan. We'll be in one of these.
A little data on us for you:
Married Janet Bird from Springville
Eleven kids, 39 grandkids, and five in the oven that we know of.
Live down the street from Lonnie Gleave, around corner from Rush Sumpter, and a block from Sally Clements.
Taught and coached 5 years in California High School, 11 years at BYU Hawaii, and 23 years at BYU Provo. Retired July 1, 2005
I read your comments about BY High. The reason they seem like our graduates is because they are. BY High closed after our Junior year and the seniors finished at Provo. At least, that's what I remember.
Aloha, see ya in a year and a half. Mark Clarke

What a great time it was for all of us to grow up in the 50's, and in Provo. The friendships that were made and have lasted 50 years and more. The music, the movies, the ease of being able to walk home from the old Provo High School through downtown Provo. I could go on, but you said brief. I am now residing in Boise, ID and love it here.

***At Reunion***Coomes, Merril 105 Park Dr., :Pueblo, CO 81005 USA 719 564 [email protected]: Barbara (1959), Michele (1961), Jason (1969), Melissa (1973)2007 UPDATE: I do plan on attending the Class Reunion in August. It looks like a great time for everyone. I only attended the 20th Class Reunion, but the 50th seems like a milestone reunion.
Thanks again for the email update, The last 50 years have been good. There was a rough start going to college, took nine years to get a BS in chemistry, Utah State, 1966. After that education was much easier, a MS, organic chemistry, 1967 – Utah State and a PhD, natural products chemistry, 1969, Colorado State. From there, we moved on to Arizona State to do postdoctoral research with anti tumor natural products. After not being able to find industrial employment, I taught organic chemistry at the University of Virginia for one year.
Yes, we moved a lot. In the industrial sector, I found employment and finally moved back to the Rockies, and worked at Gates Rubber Co, followed by Tosco Corp, an independent oil company (synthetic fuels – oil shale – and petroleum refining). The work at Tosco and all subsequent positions was in the human and environmental health areas. Moved from Littleton CO to Newbury Park CA to work in Tosco’s corporate office. Tosco became essentially insolvent, and I moved to Getty Oil’s corporate office. Texaco purchased Getty Oil and we moved to Laramie WY to lead the Western Research Institute’s environmental division. At this point in my career, my wife and I divorced and I moved into consulting. Consulting is not known for long-term employment stability and one "moves on" often. I worked for consulting firms in Camarillo CA, Ft. Collins, CO, Englewood CO, and Denver CO. At that point I started my own small firm, Coomes Associates. [My associates were the plants in my home office]. Coomes Associates was successful and I still “dabble” in part-time work. After 14 years of living alone, I found and married Carol in 1998 – we’re still “newly weds”. We retired and moved from Denver to Pueblo CO. We have the hobby of building modernized old cars [called street rods], which is an expensive hobby and explains why I still dabble in consulting. We will bring one of the cars, a 1932 Chrysler, to the reunion. Can’t wait to see you all and relate our lifetime experiences.

2007 UPDATES: Jeniel and I are happily married and living in Sunnyvale, California, about 45 miles south of San Francisco. We have lived here 36 years and so this is home to us. We come to Provo a few times a year to see friends and relatives and that is home too.
We have five sons and one daughter and 25 grandchildren. It seems that we will not have more grandchildren, but we now have 4 Great Grandchildren and another on the way. When we all get together including spouses there are more than 40 of us. That is difficult to believe, especially when you consider how young we of the class of 57 are.
Our family has been the center of our lives and we love them dearly and spend time with them most days. We own a family business with all the boys working there and our daughter keeps close tabs on us, for which we are grateful.
We also have enjoyed serving in the church. We just returned from a full time mission to the south of England in August. We
loved the people there and some days we wish we were back in England. Most of the time we are happy to be home.
It has been a good life and we have had a lot of wonderful friends including those from the class of 57. We have been truly blessed and have learned how much the Lord loves all of us.
April 2007: Our children gave us a wonderful 50th wedding anniversary party last summer. They picked us up in a 56 Chev. Belaire and to took us to a Sock Hop over at the church. When we arrived we saw a group of family and friends dressed in Poodle skirts and Levis and T shirts. They had a shirt for Brent and a Poodle skirt for Jeniel.
We danced to music ranging from Rock Around the Clock to our love song, True Love, from High Society which we saw on our honeymoon in 1956.
It has been 50 years of bliss and we now have direct descendants numbering 52 including 6 children with spouses, 25 grandchildren with many spouses and 7 great grand children.
We have been truly blessed!
The party took us back 50 years and made us look forward to the PHS reunion coming this summer. See you all there!
If any of you come to the bay area, we would love to see you. All the best,

2007 UPDATES: I loved life with all of you at Provo High and remember you with warmth and affection. After high school I attended BYU, graduating in English with a minor in business education. In 1960, I married Gary Anderson, also a Provo High graduate. I
taught freshman English at BYU while he finished undergraduate work. We then moved to Berkeley, CA where Gary went to law school at the University of California, Berkeley. I continued to teach junior high English and then English as a second language in the Oakland Adult Education program. Returned to school for a masters degree and then worked as the curriculum coordinator for the Oakland adult education program until our last child was born in 1978.
In 1990, Gary and I founded the EB Medical Research Foundation. As many of you know, we lost our first and last child to that disease. I have been the CEO and President of that organization for the past 16 years. We have raised more than 15 million dollars for research at Stanford University. We are finally close to a treatment for the form of EB that took the lives of our children--a very exciting time for us.
We still live in the S.F. Bay area in a small hill town called Piedmont. We have loved living in California because of its beauty, weather and diversity. It is great to have pansies blooming when snow sits on the ground elsewhere!
Our greatest joys come from our family. We now have ten grandchildren ranging from ages two to sixteen years--all delightful, beautiful and brilliant (just like yours)!
I expect you are feeling much like I am--how did we get to this age so quickly! How fortunate we are to still be friends after 50 years! I look forward to seeing you all in August, 2007.
P.S. Many thanks to the reunion committe and the web site group for keeping us connected!

***At Reunion***Gleave, Lonnie D. 450 E 1864 S, Orem, Ut 84058 USA 225 [email protected];[email protected]/Partner: Cady Joy Oveson GleaveChildren: Cathryn (1960), John (1963), Susan (1967), Harvey (Stillborn-1972).FROM 1987 BIOGRAPHY: HOBBIES: still sports, OCCUPATION: Utah Dept of Trans, Safety Ins Coordinator COMMENTS: Sure miss all the----.
2007 UPDATE: I was born on Jan 7, 1939 in Salt Lake City. My mom had me in the front bedroom of a little home located at 1418 S. Blair Street, just a couple of blocks from Liberty Park. e ended up being the 7th child out of 10 kids. Our family moved to Provo in the summer of 1946 where we lived in a small home next to where Carpenter Seed is now. The Pioneer Drive In opened that year just a couple of blocks south of our home. The rest of that year we only missed seeing 3 or 4 shows. Come spring our family had to move again. My parents found a home south of the rail road tracks at 89 E. 7890 S. We had an acre of property with a barn. My dad always had cows, pigs, chickens, etc. plus large garden. The best part of living there was that the Timpanogos Golf Course was just a block south of our home. My dad had worked on the railroad for several years. When we moved to Provo he wanted to be home more instead of being out on the tracks somewhere, so he go0t a job with Provo City Parks and Recreation. My mom worked a couple of years at the Utah Valley Hospital before taking a job up at the State Mental Hospital, where she worked for 27 years. Together they didn't make a lot of money. Having the golf course there offered us kids a way to help earn the money we needed for clothes and entertainment. Thank goodness that the movies only cost a dime or 14 cents. My first job was working for Tuck Hoover (Bonnie Hoover's dad) changing the water, mowing the greens, etrc. I spent a lot of my young life hunting golf balls in the ditches or in the old Provo Fairgrounds next to the golf course. It was early spring in 1956, right after we had won the State Championship in basketball that I was playing catch with George Thomas out on his front lawn at 150 N. It just happened that there was a young, good looking girl sitting up against a tree. That girl turned out to be Cady Joy Oveson. We talked for a few minutes and then I went back to continue playing catch with George. Cady was born in Provo. Her parents were Melvin and Romania Allred Oveson. It wasn't long after they had her little brother David, that her dad was called to serve in the Second World War. When he returned home from the war, her mom left them and ran off to California, leaving Melvin to raise the kids. Her dad had bought the home right after coming home and he still lives there today. As it turned out, Cady just happened to bump into me the next day at school. To make a long story short, Cady and I were married on Feb 26, 1959 in the Salt Lake Temple. We had gone together for nearly 3 years. That was a long 3 years because I had asked her dad on her 16th birthday if I could give her a ring. I didn't understand why he kept saying "no" until my daughter turned 16. The time we spent together at Provo High was a lot of fun. However, my freshman year up at BYU was a disaster. Cady s dad was really trying his hardest to break us up because we were getting too serious. I flunked my English class taking her out to lunch and I got an incomplete in my baseball class because i was taking her home from school most of the time. On her 18th birthday her mother picked her up after work at the Academy Theater and took her to Salt lake to live with her. This didn't set well with her dad, so he said we could get married. i dropped out of school, giving up my scholarship and went to
work to get enough money to get married. We were really happy when so many of you came to our wedding reception. We moved into a little apartment up on the avenues. Cady started working at the First Security Bank at 100 S. Main Street and I was working for the State Road Commission, District 2 on their paint crew. it was on Dec 21, 1960 that our first daughter Cathryn was born. Se weighed in at 8 lbs. 13 oz. Cady was in labor for over 36 hours during which time I think I timed every contraction with my stop watch. When it was over I gave the watch to Lynn and told him that I never wanted to see it again. It wasn't very long before our government got us involved in the Cuban Crises. I was activated to Fort Lewis with the 744th Military Unit out of Salt Lake. Before going I had moved Cady and our new daughter Cathryn down to Provo. Upon returning home we rented a home located at 89 N. 800 W. where we lived for a couple of years prior to buying our home in Orem where we still live today. I had started playing fast pitch softball in 1959 in Salt Lake. Now, we were playing at Harmon Park. Softball and church basketball were our life. When I pitched my last fast pitch softball game I had played 40 years. We were lucky enough to go to Oswego, New York in 1977 to play in the Nationals in fast pitch softball. We took 5th place. We also went to Hawaii to play in the Hilo Invitational, to Casey, Illinois, Modesto California, Grand Junction Colorado, Las Vegas, Elko (everry 4th of July) just to name a few places. Also I played at the Huntsman World Senior Games in St. George for 13 years. Our son John David was born on Sept 11, 1963 again weighing in at 8 lbs 13 oz. It was fun to have both a girl and a boy. On May 1, 1967 we had another girl that we named Susan. She ended up being the best baby having no colic, ear aches, etc. She was just a good baby. Cady got pregnant again and we named the little boy Harvey. He was stillborn on Aug 10, 1972, 3 days after full term, when Cady ruptured with Placenta Pervia. This was a very hard time for all of u, especially Cady. I am happy to say that all of our children are healthy and are doing well. Cady and I have 5 grandkids: Keilani, who was born in Hawaii and was named after Cady and Lonnie (Quiin and Luke are John and Cor's kids) and Nathan Ryan Moore (who is Jeff and Susan Moore's son). Our oldest daughter Cathryn never had any children. I got my job back with the State Road Commission when I returned home from Fort Lewis. This time however I worked in District Six which took in all of Juab, Utah, Wasatch, Duchesne, Uintah and Daggett Counties. I loved my job, starting out on the pain and sign crew where I ran the back of the stripper, painting all the lines on the state highways located in our district. When we were not painting we were putting up all the traffic control signs along the same highways. In 1965 I started making out payrolls and keeping inventories of all our materials, etc. In 1970 I was transferred from our station in American Fork over to the District Office in Orem. I started working under Lady Bird Johnson's Highway Beautification Program. I was a Highway Beautification Coordinator, having control of all the outdoor advertising signs and junkyards located adjacent to our major highways in the district. Also I was working in Encroachments with Enos Neilson. In 1980 I got the job as safety Coordinator with responsibilities of coordinating the states safety program with all of our employees working in our construction and maintenance programs. This included making sure that all of our employees in the District were trained in Traffic Control, First Aid and CPR, Defensive Driving, Radiological Defense, et5c. In 1983 they changed our title to District Safety/Loss Control Manager. Along with my safety responsibilities I processed all the notices of claims that that came in to our office for accidents involving fatalities and major personal injuries where highway conditions were said to have been the cause of the accident. Also I processed all the Tort Liability Claims such as broken windshields, pot holes and paint damage, etc. I went to court several times where there had been a fatality or other major personal injuries wherein highway conditions were claimed to have caused the accident. I was expected to be prepared with proper documentation wnd photos of the highway conditions in and around the accident site. Every time someone was killed my pager would go off and I had to respond. When I retired at the end of 2--- I had been to over 1000 fatal accident sites along with numerous other accidents where there were serious injuries in our construction and maintenance projects throughout the district. When I turned 62 I retired on on Dec 31, 2000 and took my Social Security. I had worked a total of 42 years for the State of Utah. I started painting parking lots in 1966 as a second job to help supplement our income. For 37 years our family was in the painting business. Along with parking lots we painted city streets and x-walks, etc. I pained before going to work, after getting off work, and almost every Sunday when all you good people were in church. I know that I properly would be getter off today, if I had gone to church more. Such is life. My son took over the business 5 years ago. Cady and I have been married for 48 wonderful years. Since my retirement we have become winter snowbirds in St. George. Also we have become regular patients at the hospitals goth in Provo and Salt Lake. To tell you about our medical problems would just bore you(as most of this letter has probably already done). I can't believe that this is our 50th reunion. My life continue to be good to you and your families.

***At Reunion***Lund, Marion 1791 S 310 W, Orem, Ut 84058 USA 226 [email protected] was born in Malad, Oneida County, Idaho on April 2, 1939. At the time of my birth my parents were living in Eagar, Apache County, Arizona. My mother felt that the only place to have babies was in Malad, Idaho with her doctor, Dr. Maeby. My sister Catherine Louise (Katie) ad my brother, William Guy Jr. (Billie) were also born in Malad. Katie was born December 9, 1935 and Billie was born November 11, 1937. My younger sister, Lois Ann Lund, was born in Eagar, Apache County, Arizona, just six days after my mother's birthday on May 26, 1943. Dad said he wanted Mom to know that babies could be born in Arizona, too.
I come from good stock. My grandfather on my mother's side, William Henry Richards was a bishop and stake president in Malad for many years. One day I was on an airplane, and seated a few rows ahead of me, was Elder LeGrand Richards. There was an empty seat on the aisle next to him, so, I got up my courage and sat next to him. I said, "Elder Richards, my nane is Marion RICHARDS Lund. I don't know my history very well, but could you tell me if we are related?" He said, "Where are you from?" I replied, "I was born in Malad Idaho." He said, "William Henry Richards?" And I said, "He is my grandfather!" Elder Richards said, "Oh, he was a great stake president for twenty-five years, and when we released him, we put his son THOMAS in for another twenty-five. How are you connected?" I answered, "My mother is CATHERINE." He responded, "Oh, Kate?" I said, "That is my mother." Then, he said, "I've eaten many a fine meal in your family home. We have this agreement, you don't say anything bad about our Richards line, and we won't say anything bad about yours. No, we are not related."
My grandparents on my father's side were real pioneers in Arizona. My Grandfather, William Lund, was the son of William Wilson Lund and Annie Elizabeth Wiltbank. My grandmother was Lucinda Margaret Lee, daughter of John Willard Lee and Lucinda Margaret Clark. They were called under the direction of Erastus Snow to leave St George, Utah, to settle the north-eastern part of the territory of Arizona in 1879. Grandma was reported to be the first white child born in Apache County, Arizona. She was born in a wagon box in Amity, Arizona, on ground that has become known as the D.C. Martin land. (The actor, John Wayne, bought a ranch somewhere near there.)
Great grandpa Lund homesteaded the Lund ranch just a couple of miles North of a little town of Nutrioso, Arizona. This beautiful little valley was home to them and they thought there couldn't be any better place on the earth. My father was born in Nutrioso, on October 10, 1898. Nutrioso is a Spanish word which means Beaver/Bear, so, my father was born on Beaver/Bear Creek. He was the oldest of sixteen children. My grandmother was a granddaughter of John Doyle Lee, which means that I am a great, great grandson of that great man.
For the first ten years of my life we lived in Eagar, Arizona, where my folks had a grocery store and still maintained the cattle ranch at the old homestead fifteen miles south-east of Eagar. We helped on the ranch with the branding, roping, dehorning, etc. We would also help drive the cattle to the summer range which was higher in the mountains. Dad used to say that I was a pretty good cowboy.
We went to school in the Eagar Elementary Public School where Mom was a teacher. We couldn't be too bad, or Mom would know about it almost immediately. In this small school some of the grades were combined in one class room with the same teacher. I don't remember any of my teachers names during those early years, but I do remember some of the teachers that I had in Primary. I remember going to Sister Kartchner's home to work on my bandalo and learn some of the Trail Blazer songs. I also remember Utahna Butler who married Dallas Butler. I always thought she was one of the prettiest women I had ever met.
In Eagar, Dad was in a bishopric with Bishop Paris Ashcroft and Ether Brown. One Sunday as they met in bishopric meeting they were discussing the topic of REVERENCE and what they could do to increase the reverence in their meetings. Ether Brown turned to dad and said, "Guy, if you could control your family, the bishop and I can handle the rest of the ward." Now, I'm not saying that we were rowdy, noisy, or rambunctious or anything, but, well....
One time when Dad was conducting the church meeting, Katie was acting out and running up and down the aisles and up on the stand where Dad was, so, Dad picked her up and started to take her out of the meeting. She cried, "Don't beat me Daddy, I'll be good. Don't beat me." It really embarrassed him and Mom.
When I was about ten years old, we moved to Provo, Utah, and took over the Beck Motel at 250 South University Avenue. We moved to Utah so that we could attend Utah schools and especially BYU. Katie, Bill and I all graduated from there. ( I think another reason we moved was so that we didn't marry our cousins. Eagar was a small town and just about everyone was related. We used to say that you couldn't throw rocks without hitting a relative. Then too, Leiloni Lee was looking awfully good.) ( I think another reason was that my best friend was Billie Jack Hall. He was always getting into trouble and I would have been right there with him. I think he ended up in prison or something.)
We were very active in sports, and I was a fierce competitor. In fact, the older I get, the better I was. Ha! I played basketball, softball, baseball, volleyball, and football. Also, I boxed in college.
Our family was well thought of in the church and the community. I think we were fortunate to have good friends to associate with and I was especially blessed to have a big brother so I could follow in his footsteps. He was a year ahead of me in school and set a pretty high standard to follow. He was well liked and made friends easily.
Mom and Dad got us involved in music when we moved to Provo. They had a band in elementary school so Bill and I joined. He played the trumpet and I liked to pound on things, so I played the drums. Stanley Brady was the band teacher and took a lot of time with me to show me how to do certain things. He stayed with us when we went to Jr. High School. I expanded my knowledge of percussion to include the timpani, or kettle drums. I got to be pretty good and was recommended by Mr. Brady to the all-state band in Salt Lake. (Normally, it was only High School students that got to play in the all-state band. We played a special concert in the tabernacle on Temple Square. When we played The Stars and Stripes Forever, it gave me goose bumps. That number really highlights the timpani.
In 1956, when I was a junior in high school, I was sent by the Kiwanis Club in Provo to the Key Club International convention in Dallas, Texas. We had a great time and got to meet some star athletes (Frank Gifford who played for the Dallas Cowboys) and some movie stars (Kim Novack in a filmy neglige) she made quite an impression on me. As soon as I returned from Dallas, I was met at the train station and whisked off to Utah Boy's State to participate in the mock government and civic affairs program. I learned a lot about the legislative process, and I associated with a lot of nice people. (I even had a pillow fight with Don Fullmer, younger brother of Gene Fullmer, the heavy weight champion of the world. Don went on to be a very famous boxer, also. However, I knocked his block off in a pillow fight.)
I graduated from Provo High School in 1957 and began college at Brigham Young University that fall. Mom and Dad never did have much money to spare, so the children were expected to work and help put themselves through school. Dad helped some with tuition, but I had several odd jobs such as mowing lawns and taking care of yards. I also helped in the motel by cleaning rooms and taking care of the motel. During the summer we swept the leaves from the parking lot, and during the winter we shoveled the snow. It seems that there was always something to keep us busy. We rented the rooms and took care of the business. Some times we would stay up late into the night and Dad would give us half of what ever we rented after a certain time.
When I started college, Dad went with me to see Mr. Nichols at First Security Bank. We borrowed $500.00 so that I could pay my tuition and books. During the semester I worked and paid the money back to the bank. The next semester we did the same thing. After a couple of semesters Mr. Nichols said to me, " You don't have to bring your dad with you anymore. Just come in and sign for what you need." I felt that I had finally reached adulthood and was trusted enough to have my own credit. I appreciated Dad's help in getting me started. It taught me the importance of being fiscally responsible. That lesson has stuck with me all my life, and I have always maintained the attitude that we should pay our own way and be responsible for our money and our debts.
I had a lot of fun the first couple of years of college. I joined a social unit, the Val Hyrics. We had a lot of social activities with the female counterparts and it was great. I dated a lot. My grades didn't do so well. After two years I decided that I would accept a mission call. In 1959 I was assigned to the West Central States which included the states of Montana, Wyoming, and part of North and South Dakota. President Casper W. Merrill from Logan, Utah and his wife were the mission presidents. About halfway through my mission they were released and Grant G. Wooley and his wife were called to preside. My first area was Missoula Montana and my first companion was Clayton Huber from Lapoint, Utah. After a couple of months I had trained him well enough that he was made assistant to the president. I worked with another Elder Lund, Grant Lund. They called us brother and sister Lund..... my first name is Marion..... Hmmmmm.(Grant is the brother to Gerald Lund who is the author of The Work and The Glory series of books. He came out to the same mission field when Grant went home.)
I was transferred to Bismark, North Dakota. I also served in Mandan and Dickenson, North Dakota. It was especially bad in the winter. My companion and I had the only baptisms that came out of that district in years. We baptized Gwendolyn Hazel Chadwick and her son Larry. Larry was 12 years old and was our only Deacon for a long time.
My next area was Lander, Wyoming where I worked with an Elder who had emotional problems. He was so shy that he would not talk to anyone... including me. About 20 years after my mission I was working in Burley, Idaho. I was playing church ball and there on the basketball floor was this same Elder (Lynn Hanks). I couldn't believe it was the same Elder. He was now a 70, Stake Mission Leader, married with children and very out-going. What a change!
From Lander we went to the Ft. Washakie Indian reservation. It was about 15 miles out of Lander. We lived in the little white chapel and worked with the Shoshone and Arapaho Indians. While there a brother Parent gave me an Indian name. "Big Stink Foot". I don't know where he came up with that one.
My brother, Bill was serving a mission in England during part of the time I was out. Dad was having quite a struggle keeping us both out at the same time. He went to the High Priests of the stake and asked if they would help. He sent me $20.00 and the High Priests were to send me $80.00. The High Priests only sent a couple of checks and then nothing. I was too embarrassed to tell Dad that I needed more money. We ate a lot of peanut butter and crackers. (We called peanut butter "Salvation Salve". Whenever dad would send a check he would say, "Well son, you just sold another calf" When we were young and helping with the branding dad would brand a calf for us. He used to ask us if we wanted a steer calf or a heifer calf. We learned quickly that steer calves brought more money at auction, but heifer calves would build a herd. We took the heifer calves and built a herd. By the time my mission was over, my herd was gone.
My next transfer made me a Supervising Elder. I went to Butte, Montana and then to Whitehall and finally Bozeman, Montana. I finished out my mission in Bozeman. At the conclusion of my mission I returned to Provo and began working for Vista Optical. It was owned by Warner Murphy. He also owned Sisken Optical where Bill worked. Mr. Murphy thought that If I was as good of a worker as Bill, I would do all right. I was, and I did.
In 1962 I went to the Hill Cumorah Pageant with Dr. Harold I. Hansen. Six Elders supervised three bus loads of girls all the way to New York and back. Talk about the "fox in the hen house". What an opportunity! That Eastern States Mission was the only mission in the world that got a two week vacation... with girls.
I was selected by Dr. Hansen to play the part of the resurrected Christ. It was the final scene of the pageant, and the culmination of the whole story. It was really a special experience. I read and re-read III Nephi where it talks about the great destruction that came upon the earth and the weeping and wailing and the darkness and the silence at the time of the Savior's crucifiction and resurrection. I gained a greater appreciation for the Savior. One of the participants in the pageant was a little Russian woman who was not a member of the church. Her daughter was a member, but not the mother. One night after the performance she sought me out. I was still dressed in the robes and had the beard and wig, etc. She said she wanted to be baptized and wanted me to do it. The next day we went to Rochester to a chapel and I baptized her. (Years later her daughter served a mission call under me at the Provo LDS Employment center.)
When I came home from the pageant I continued to date some special girls. They were mostly Cougarettes, flag twirlers and cheer leaders. I also dated the vice president of culture at BYU. Her name was Maria Toronto from Spanish Fork. I had a lot of fun and enjoyed dancing at the Terrace Ballroom in Salt Lake City. The singles dances were held every Thursday night.
On Thanksgiving Thursday in 1962 I took a date to the dance. Since it was a singles dance you were not supposed to take a date. My date danced the first dance with her cousin, Robert Clark, then he brought her back to me. While they were dancing, I had an opportunity to scope the crowd. I saw Ralle't Christiansen out on the dance floor. My, she looked good! I had known her for a long time because my brother, Bill, had dated her sister Danielle. Ralle't was always a cute little thing, but was always too young. When I was sixteen, she was only twelve. When I was twenty and went on a mission, she was only sixteen. But now, I was twenty three and she was nineteen. She had really grown up! I took Linda, my date, to the sidelines and cut in on Ralle't. The music ended all too soon. Then, the announcer said, "This next dance will be a ladies choice." Ralle't said, "Oh, Dear, I'll have to take you to the sidelines, this dance is a ladies choice." I thought to myself, "You little snipe", and I started walking away. She grabbed my arm and said, "I was only kidding. There is no one I would rather dance with than you!" She melted my heart. I tried to take her home from the dance, but she said, "My mother always said, ‘You go home with those what brung ya'" I WENT HOME FROM THAT DANCE AND TOLD MY MOTHER THAT I HAD MET THE GIRL THAT I WAS GOING TO MARRY!! We dated quite steadily for the next month, and on December 23, Joseph Smith's birthday, I asked her to marry me. She agreed, and two months later on February 28, 1963 we were married in the Logan Temple by President A. George Raymond.
After five or six months we decided it was time to have a baby. Our baby daughter Andrea Ralle't Lund was born March 30, 1964, during my last year of college. Rallet didn't have an easy time with child birth because of her previous back surgery. The doctors worked hard and really pulled hard with forceps to help the baby be born. We said a lot of prayers in her behalf and the Lord blessed us with a beautiful baby girl that looked as if she had just gone twelve rounds with Muhammed Ali... and lost. I thought she was beautiful even though she was so beaten up.
I finally got my degree from Brigham Young University in 1965 in Sociology and Human Development and Family Relationships. It took me a little longer than most because I had to improve the grades that I had my first few years of school when I played. I took school very seriously and re-took many classes. After a lot of hard work and with the encouragement of my wife, I finally pulled my grade-point up to the honor roll my last two semesters. Twenty five years later at a fireside where I was asked to speak, I saw Dr Joseph Simmons, the chairman of the Sociology Department at BYU. When I greeted him by name he asked if he knew me. I told him I had taken several classes from him...." no", I said, ...." I only took one class from you, but I took it several times". He just chuckled. He was tough on grades.
We moved our little family to Pleasanton, California, where I worked as a dormitory counselor for the Job Corps. I was scared to death! I had a dormitory of eighty Job Corps boys. They ranged in age from 16 to 21. They were either high school drop-outs or had been kicked out. They were from all over the united states. Most of them were Black or Hispanic and were tough dudes. I had never been around Blacks much before and I didn't know what to expect, and the only words I knew in Spanish were swear words.
My first day at Camp Parks Job Corps Center, as I was walking across campus, I saw a great big Black guy coming right at me. He was shaking his finger at me and saying, "I know you, you are the guy that called me BABY HUEY when I played basketball at Utah State." I had been dating a flag twirler and had a seat on the second row from the floor, and yes, I used to get pretty exercised during the games and did what I could to rattle the players and the referees. Brother ! Did I remember him? I'll say I did! His name was Darnel Haney and he was 6'8" tall. I was scared to death!~ He put out his great big hand and shook mine and welcomed me to Camp Parks. Whew! We had a good laugh and before long, we were good friends. When they announced a new Job Corps Center being opened in Clearfield, Utah, I jumped at the chance to move back to Utah (and with a thousand dollar raise.)
We lived in an apartment in Clearfield, Utah until we had someone try and break into our apartment. When that happened we decided to look elsewhere for an apartment. We had the newspaper on the dash of the car with the apartments for rent section when we stopped for gas. The fellow washing our windows asked if we were looking for a place to rent. We told him we were and he said he had a house that he was buying and needed to get out of it. We could take over his payments for just a few dollars a month more than we had been paying for rent. We took it. It was in Layton (Robin's Park, just off Hill Field Road. Lisa and Shaun were born while we lived in Layton. Lisa on February 20, 1968 and Shaun March 17, 1969.
Also while we were in Layton, we got word that Ralle't had gone through the change of life and we would not be able to have any more children. She knew then why the prompting had been so strong to have another baby so soon after Lisa. A few years later we had an opportunity to adopt a baby. We had talked about it before, but I was hesitant. I felt that if Heavenly Father wanted us to have more children, we would have our own. Then, we got a call from Katie and Ron telling us about two girls who were having babies and going to give them up for adoption. We decided to go for it. We were all set when the phone call came that a little girl had been born and all we had to do was go to Washington D.C. and pick her up. Then, we got a disappointing call saying that we could not have her because the grandparents lived close to us and they would know. We were sick and just about gave up. They told us the next baby would be born in a few months. The first little girl was sent to a family in Arizona. She was a little blond, angular faced girl that went to a family of blonds.... with angular faces.
In September 1972 we got a call saying that our baby was born. It was a girl. The mother didn't have any insurance and had to have the baby "C" section. We would have to have the money to pay her hospital bill before they would release the baby to us. I sold my small fishing boat, my Radial arm saw, and collected debts from several people who owed me money. I had about $800.00 saved toward a new boat. We gathered all we could and sent it off to Virginia to pay the hospital bill. Instead of our having to pay for airline tickets, Katie and Ron said they would bring the baby when Ron came to LDS general conference. He was a bishop and had a ticket to conference. Wendy was born on September 28, 1972, and Ron brought her to us on an airplane about October 3, 1972. She was a little wrinkled pumpkin, just five days old. We took the whole family to the airport to pick her up and tears were shed all around. Shaun believed that babies were delivered at the airport on a big silver bird. No stork story for him!
We had to wait a whole year before the adoption could be finalized, but finally the day came when we went to the court house in Farmington, Utah and appeared before the judge with our petition. He asked if anyone in the court room had any reason why this adoption should not be granted, no one spoke up. He banged the gavel and pronounced her ours. Wendy had been very quiet up to this point and when the final decree was pronounced, she let out a "YIPPI!". The judge commented that it sounded as if she was in agreement, too, so it was final. We were then able to take her to the temple and have her sealed to us. I have teased Wendy many times about how she could have been named HYDROSWIFT, or EVENRUDE, or CHRIS CRAFT or something similar because she was my boat money. She has been a lot more fun than a boat!
During the time I worked for Job Corps I went to school at the University of Utah and got a master's degree in Manpower Planning and Administration through the college of business. I graduated in 1972. A few years later I left Job Corps to accept a position as Residential Treatment Director for Project Reality, a drug treatment program in Salt Lake City. I worked with drug addicts for about a year, but didn't enjoy it much. I didn't see much success. A few weeks later we moved to Canada to go into real estate with some LDS people.
We have seen many miracles in our lives and seen how we were guided in the choices that we made. It was miraculous how we got to Canada. We sold our home in less than a week and were on the road for Victoria, British Columbia, where Rusty Butler, my brother-in-law was teaching at the University of Victoria. We became Landed Immigrants, took the real estate licence exam and passed it and started selling real estate. We made enough money that first year to build a home in Orem, Utah, and planned on moving back. However, the stake president, Howard Biddulph, had other plans. He asked me to be a
branch president, build a chapel and fill it. Then, we could feel good about going back to the United States. We stayed three more years, built the Sidney Branch chapel and brought 14 families into the church. When we baptized Fred and Janet McCullough, I knew that we could go back to Utah. A month later, we were packed and gone.
We moved to Utah but couldn't find work. I spent 6 months unemployed. We had rented our house and couldn't get the renters to move so, we rented. I finally took a job selling cars for Rusty Butler's dad in Ontario, Oregon. We sold our Orem home to liquidate our debts in Canada and moved to Ontario. I sold cars for a year and then got a chance to manage a Deseret Industries store in Ontario. That was April 12, 1979. I was forty years old when I began that new career.
Deseret Industries moved us to Burley, Idaho, where we stayed for three years and then they said they needed us in Denver, Colorado to take on three stores. After a couple of years I received a promotion to be Area Manager over the Employment Centers in the Northern Plains. I had employment centers in Billings, Cheyenne, Kansas City, Grand Junction, Colorado Springs, and Denver. I enjoyed traveling and training and then I asked to come home to Utah. We moved to Provo in 1986, built us a new home and don't care if we never move again. I continued to work for the Church as manager of employment services over the Utah South Area. I had nine employment centers to supervise and about 60 missionaries to run them. I retired October 31, 2002, after 23 ½ years of working for the Church.
During the last fourteen years we have been involved in service to the community and the church. I served as branch president over an apartment house branch for three of those years. Rallet and I have been ordinance workers at the Mt. Timpanogas temple. Rallet and I will finish putting together three more family history books and then serve somewhere else. We have all of our children married and sealed in the temple and have 25 grandchildren.
Our first Grandson, Kazj Briggs is serving a mission in Louisville, Ky. Since retirement I have helped Rallet with her jewelry business, "Rallet Designs" .

2007 UPDATES: I am currently working for the Daily Herald of Provo but in the new Pleasant Grove office. In this office we cover the news and advertising for all of the North County weekly newspapers, from Orem to Lehi plus more. I am a graphic designer, which means I have a job sitting in front of a Macintosh computer building advertisements for the newspapers. My grandsons wish they had the same opportunity. I have been back at the Herald for over 20 years after leaving and going to Moab for about 18 years.
In Moab, we raised all of our kids, and of course I am very proud of all of them. My wife Naoma Sorensen Milner, also a PS grad, class of 1960, were involved in just about everything we could get into. I helped organize the world famous Jeep Safari in 1970, and led trails for 8 years. It was "GREAT". While doing this we met a lot of very wonderful families, some of whom we have remained close friends since.
Both Naoma and I have had some health problems, who hasn't, but she has had more than her share.
We share 13 grandchildren and one great grandson. 2 of them live in California so we don't get to see them often, but they are both in college and are too busy for family stuff anyway. The others live nearby. Our oldest granddaughter, Shawnelle, is currently Miss Deaf Utah. She went to Palm Springs, Calif., for the Miss USA contest, but as she said, I am glad I didn't win. It is for a 2 year term and she wants to get married and raise children. I have two others in college and the rest are still in high school, jr. high or grade school.
We live in Provo with no plans on leaving for awhile. Maybe if I ever retire we will relocate but no plans of that right now. I have too much fun going to work.

2007 UPDATES: Since high school in '57 I worked in Yellowstone Park2 summers and attended and graduated from Central Utah Trade College with a degree in electronics. I went to work at HAFB in 1959 as a Radar Tech. I was drafted into the Army in 1961. I spent basic training at Fort Ord, CA. After basic training i went to Fort Bliss, TX. There I worked on Nike Ajax, Nike Hercules and Hawk Missiles. Then in 1963 I was honorably discharged and returned to work at Hill. I did a 6 month TDY to Pennsylvania in 1967. In 1971 I went to Weber State for 2 years taking general ed. courses while still continuing to work. While at Hill I worked many positions: fire control Radar Repair, Instrument Repair for many aircraft, F-4, C141 and c5 Navigational Computer Repair and ATE (automatic test equipment) for the f16 fighter fire control radar (full circle). After retiring from HAFB in 1996 i have worked construction, framing, roofing, sofit and facia, cement work, wiring, drywall, plumbing, sprinkler systems, etc. In 1960 I married and spent 11 years with the wrong women. Two sons came from that marriage, but then in 1976 I met the wonderful lady i have been married to for 30 years. She has 4 children plus my 2. Then, add in our 2 that gives us 8.

Along the way EuAnna and I have enjoyed fishing, camping, boating and snowmobiling. EuAnna and I enjoy gardening and keeping our dream home in good shape. As of late I have enjoyed taking care of my lady and my grandkids (when they come over) and our home. This summer our entire family went to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. For me it had been 50 years since I visited there. Then in August---the 50 year Class Reunion! Hope to see all of you there. Maybe with some luck also the 60th, 70th and 80th reunions as well!? (Wishful thinking!) Love you! Gerald (Kenneth) and EuAnna Nuttall
2007 UPDATES: I am fast reaching the end of a list which I made in high school and labeled, "This will never happen to me!" Never say NEVER!! I get teary when I think of beautiful fresh youth trembling on the brink of life as they gratuate from high school, full of hopes and dreams with the energy and desire to fulfill them all. "Older and wiser" is my current label. It is humbling and heartening to see what I have not and have achieved. Life is good, but not what I expected! I am married to Dr. M. Lyman Moody who practiced Internal Medicine in Provo for 30 years, and most of those years we were both married to another spouse. He lost his wife to death from cancer; my husband asked me for a divorce after 30 years of marriage. During those 30 years I lived in Los Angeles, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Austin, Texas, Atlanta, Georgia, and Salt Lake City. I came back to Provo (much to my delight and surprise) after a mutual friend introduced me to Lyman and we were married in May, 1997. After graduating from BYU in Child Development and Family Relations in 1961, I served a mission for the LDS Church in France. Since I have married Lyman Moody, we have served two more missions, based in Madrid, Spain, and now in Frankfurt, Germany. I am the contented mother of three wonderful children, two sons and a daughter, all married and have 7 grandchildren (soon to be 8). Aug 10, 2006 email: I have been cruising the fabulous website. I have not taken the time to check it for many months. It is wonderful!!! But, I must admit, it is shocking to see how many of our number are no longer with us, and listening to that music of our youth as I see those faces so familiar in the era that we listened to that music brings me to almost a wrenching nostalgia! I noticed that JoAnn Means is posted as one of the "lost" ones. She was in my ward, Provo 8th, as we grew up together. She passed away over 20 years ago. I think she was teaching school out in the Uintah Basin, if my memory serves me correctly (and it may not!) Thanks for all of your good work!! Evelyn Oaks Hammond Moody
I am looking forward to this 50th Class Reunion. Thanks to the committee that is putting it together! Bravo!! Of course I will be there.....with bells on. Or is that appropriate?!!! Oh, I WILL wear something else, too! I did not stop to read if I need to send you a check soon. I will look carefully and see what I need to do. Greetings and encouragement to you all!

2007 UPDATES: I raised my family in Springville where I also worked in Nebo School District for about 30 years. When I left my husband I came back to Provo where I have lived since.
I have enjoyed travelling, have visited many of the states and have stuck my nose into Canada and Mexico. After I retired in 2000 I made several trips to Wales to do family history research and to stand on my father's homeland. My health (or rather the lack thereof) has ended that sort of travel, so I don't go very far from home anymore. (I have suffered from Fibromyalgia for about 25 years now, and my symptoms have worsened in the last couple of years.)
I love being with my five children, four of whom are married, and my fourteen grandchildren. I also enjoy doing family history research and teaching others how to do theirs. My hobby is digital photography, especially landscape photography. Many of my photos are posted on my website.
I look forward to seeing everyone at the reunion. I plan to be at the picnic, at least.

After a year working at Utah Valley Hospital, I married richard Robbins, class of 1955. We celebrated our 48th anniversary in June. We moved to salt Lake and seven years and a son and daughter later, we moved to arizona. We lived in several cities in arizona and California while Dick worked in sub-contract engineering. We settled in Tempe, Arizona, where I graduated from Mesa Community College. I worked in the college administration office and Special Services. After the birth of our second son, we moved back to Salt Lake City. I became very involved in tennis in Arizona (even played for Mesa Community College when the were looking or a warm body), and I continued to play in salt Lake. I should be great after all the time I have spent on the court, but alas, I am only a hacker, but I love the game so much I still play three times a week. I also play a little golf with Dick but for some reason, if you don't practice golf you never get any better,. I got involved in the travel industry and opened my own agency in Sandy. It only took me a couple of years to decide that I would rather travel than have the responsibility of planning for others to have a good time. I have had some great opportunities to travel. Some of my favorites are a Tahiti cruise, a trip to Iceland where we were hosted by the President of Iceland. Recently we enjoyed a great trip to Italy where we stayed with our son in ravello in a condo. We spent 10 days overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and the Amalfi Coast. We also visited Switzerland and Austria. Life has been good, and we enjoy our 3 children and 7 grandchildren. We have moved so many times I now tell my friends to put our address in pencil! I have enjoyed being involved with the reunion committee for so many years. I especialy enjoy taking your calls and your money! I hope these friendships will continue always.

2007 UPDATES: I went to BYU after high school and received my MRS. degree! I met my husband Paul there and waited for him to serve a 2&1/2 year mission to New Zealand. I was also the secretary at Maeser Elementary school for a year. We were married in Aug. 1961. We lived in Salt Lake City for two years where Paul attended the U of U for his pre-dental studies. We moved to
San Francisco and he attended College of Physicians and Surgeons for four years. He received his D.D.S. degree and I received my P.H.T degree. (Putting Hubby Through) We moved to Granada Hills, CA and went into Dental practice with Paul's brother for four years. We then moved to Santa Paula, CA and have lived here for 30 some odd years. Too long for me. I'm ready to move back to Utah!! We raised 7 children here. They all served missions and all graduated from BYU. Our 4 boys are Eagle Scouts. Four are married and three are single. About 12 years ago, my husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. He was unable to practice general dentistry so we purchased a dental x-ray lab which proved to be a real life saver. We both worked there and retired Dec. 2005. My husband is doing well. The P.D has progressed slowly, but we aren't able to do much because of this disease. Thank goodness I am in good health and still very active in the Church, community and family. We love to travel and have been able to visit several different countries. We went to Italy June 2005. I think that will probably be our last trip like that.(Added 10/06) Actually we took our seven children and spouses on a cruise July 2006 to Alaska. It was wonderful and Paul did great. So I see more travel in our future. I'm so glad we have this site to share with each other and get to know each other better.

2007 UPDATES: Jeniel and I are happily married and living in Sunnyvale, California, about 45 miles south of San Francisco. We have lived here 36 years and so this is home to us. We come to Provo a few times a year to see friends and relatives and that is home too.
We have five sons and one daughter and 25 grandchildren. It seems that we will not have more grandchildren, but we now have 4 Great Grandchildren and another on the way. When we all get together including spouses there are more than 40 of us. That is difficult to believe, especially when you consider how young we of the class of 57 are.
Our family has been the center of our lives and we love them dearly and spend time with them most days. We own a family business with all the boys working there and our daughter keeps close tabs on us, for which we are grateful.
We also have enjoyed serving in the church. We just returned from a full time mission to the south of England in August. We loved the people there and some days we wish we were back in England. Most of the time we are happy to be home.
It has been a good life and we have had a lot of wonderful friends including those from the class of 57. We have been truly blessed and have learned how much the Lord loves all of us.
April 2007: Our children gave us a wonderful 50th wedding anniversary party last summer. They picked us up in a 56 Chev. Belaire and to took us to a Sock Hop over at the church. When we arrived we saw a group of family and friends dressed in Poodle skirts and Levis and T shirts. They had a shirt for Brent and a Poodle skirt for Jeniel.
We danced to music ranging from Rock Around the Clock to our love song, True Love, from High Society which we saw on our honeymoon in 1956.
It has been 50 years of bliss and we now have a direct descendants numbering 52 including 6 children with spouses, 25 grandchildren with many spouses and 7 great grand children.
We have been truly blessed!
The party took us back 50 years and made us look forward to the PHS reunion coming this summer. See you all there!
If any of you come to the bay area, we would love to see you. All the best,

OBITUARY (submitted by Ernie Milner and Marian Peterson Robbins): John "Jack" L. Roe 1939 ~ 2007 John "Jack" L. Roe, born 19 March 1939 to John "Jack" Lomax Roe and Phyllis Corbridge in Preston, Idaho, passed away on 24 June 2007 at home with family. My death was a result of bad health and good living. "Believing as I do that when a person dies we lose a library, I was a husband, father and grandfather, an artist, wood carver, sculptor of stone, sailor (United States Navy Corpsman), para-archeologist, museum registrar, x-ray technician, photographer, historian, writer, hunter, lifetime NRA member, free mountain man, and avid fly and flat/saltwater fisherman.
I've buried some good friends and one good dog, and learned and forgotten countless times that life is a limited-time offer. I was raised in Preston, Dubois, and Gooding, Idaho where I spent almost every waking moment on the Big and Little Wood Rivers. I was the oldest of three children, and made my own rules as many have seen me do. The family moved first to the Salt Lake City Rose Park area and then to Provo where I graduated from Provo High in the great year of 1957. Soon after, I joined the U.S. Navy. A year later I married my high school sweetheart, JoAnn Farrer of Provo, in Los Angeles, California, after she graduated (from Provo High). We were high school sweethearts. Among other, lesser assignments, I was assigned to VF92 fighter squadron out of Alameda, California and was deployed to all five aircraft carriers, on the west coast at that time, and three Naval and Marine air stations before leaving the Navy in 1963. We put our anchor down in Salt Lake City and then Murray, Utah, where we have spent the years raising five of six children, and I in pursuit of better hunting and bigger fish. I was preceded in death by my parents, sister (Sandra), and daughter (Shanna Lee). I am survived by my wife and children, Shane (Ann) of Kearns; Patrick K. (Gaye) of Lehi; Taryn (Paul) Olds of Ogden; Mike A. (Kathy) of West Jordan; Josh L. of Murray; a mess of grand kids and great-grandkids, brother, Gary Roe and wife Darese; and the best friends a man can have. Memorial services, or garden party, will be held in the outdoors surrounded by blue sky or even waterfowl weather! My ashes will be consigned partly to the side of my wife and soul mate, and the rest scattered at Flaming Gorge, or Wood Tick, Ferron Canyon. The party will be conducted by family and friends. I'd like it to be a time to share memories and laughing and talking as though I'm still with you. I've always felt people could dress as they wanted, and always felt dressed up in skins or Levis and boots, shorts, tank tops and sandals. My family and friends are invited to wear their favorite, casual dress, western or other (skins?). In lieu of flowers, I would suggest donations be made to Ducks Unlimited, the NRA, the Mule Deer and Elk Foundations, or the Nature Conservancy. Suit your fancy, or take a kid or good friend fishing, or to dinner ----- or both! My graveside services will be Fri., June 29, 2007 at 10 a.m. at Larkin Sunset Gardens, 10600 South 1950 East. A visitation for all of my family and friends will be Thurs. evening from 6-8 p.m. at Jenkins-Soffe Mortuary, 4760 So. State Street. If you would like to send a condolence online, please do so at www.jenkins-soffe.com

My husband has M.S. so is now confined to a wheelchair (has leg impairment only). So I probably will not come to the Reunion altho I would love to be there to see all of you -

Together they had three wonderful children, Michelle, Scott and Amy. there are no words to describe how grea a man he was. The qualities that he possessed are far too innumerable to mention. they begin with his quick wit and his humble spirit and continue through to his extraordinary strength and unconditional faith. His greates passions in life were his family and the outdoors. Being a grandpa to Brinley brought him great joy. He enjoyed the simple things in life. It didn't take much to make him happy. He always had project in the works, whether it be resoring a 1965 ford Mustang or oil painting a photograph of his daughters. Some of his fondest memories were of hunting and fishing with his son. Among some ohis greates quailities was his sense of humor. No matter how poorly he felt, he was never too ill to make us laugh. Dar was the humblest of men. His faith and belief in all people shone throughout his exemplary life. his kindness and compassion towards others was extraordinary. To know dar was to love Dar. He had a heart of gold. His selflessness was unconditional. He would give all if it meant helping another. His strength in struggling with earthly challenges was uparalleled. he continued to persevere no matter what the circumstances. Dar is survivedby his loving family: Sue, Michelle, )Caysee)Bettis, grandaughter, Brinley Lenore Bettis, Scott(Aubrie) ad Amy, his brother, Theo and Gerry (Janice).

***At Reunion***Spendlove, Margaret [Pratt] 1372 N. Old Course road, Washington, UT 84780 USA 435 257 [email protected]/Partner: RobertFROM 1987 BIOGRAPHY: HOBBIES: reading, water skiing, trips with family OCCUPATION: teach English as a second language at a Los Angeles Comunity Adult School
2007 UPDATE: A lot of water under the bridge since 1957. At that time Bob and I were living in Montrose, California (small community between La Canada, La Crescenta and Glendale (east of Burbank). I was teaching ESL for L>A> School District in Granada Hills and Bob was just getting started with his videography business after leaving L>A> County Supervisors Office as Chief of Staff to one of the supervisors. Most of our five children were still at home. In the intervening years I moved on to Van Nuys Community Adult School as a teacher in the High School Diploma Program. Our children completed their educations, served missions for the Mormon Church, married, etc. (currently we have 14 grandchildren). I retired in 2003, Bob retired from his videography business and in 2004 we joined the California equity exodus after 35 years in Glendale/Montrose. We are now living in Washington, Utah (next to St. George). We hired an architect/contractor and were heavily involved in the planning and construction of our current home. We love it here. Ancestors on both my father's and mother's side were pioneers and original settlers in many of the communities in Southern Utah---Cedar City, Summmit (north of Cedar), Enoch (northwest of Cedar), Virgin and North Creek (Zion Canyon), Washington and Hurricane. I spent several years of my childhood in Hurricane and was homesick for a long time after we moved to Provo. I have red dirt genes. Our kids are scattered all over---Smithfield,Utah (Cache Valley), Redmond, Washington, Rosamond, California (near Edwards Air Force Base), Meridian, Idaho, and Burbank, California. We see more of them now that we are more centrally lodfa5ed and they like to bring the grandchildren to swim in our pool. Water skiing is a thing of the past. I'm now into water exercise (after spinal surgery, hip replacement, etc.). I still like to read. Currently I am enjoying many of the great books out in the last several years on the revolutionary period. Now that we're finally settled down again, I would like to write a life history but I m now worried about remembering it. I'm interested in genealogy and associated historical information. Like to be involved in our ward. We're currently ward missionaries. Looking forward to the 2007 Class Reunion. The last time I saw any of you, I think was at the 1987 class reunion. Thanks to the Class Reunion Committee and the many hours that you have spent and to the Provo High '57 Web Site and to all the contributors. Enjoyed learning more about everyone.
***At Reunion***Steele, Darryl 3616 Dover Hill Dr., Salt Lake City, UT 84121 USA 801.943,[email protected]/Partner: Lynda Webb SteeleIn 1956 I transferred from B Y High to Provo High so I could play on our State Basketball Championship Team. During the summers and after school I worked at my father’s Conoco gas station at 5th West and Center in Provo. (I probably sold you some gas back then when it was only .24 cents a gallon.) After graduation, I served six months of active duty in the Army through the local Utah National Guard, 1457th Engineer Battalion.
I later attended BYU where I joined the Goldbricker Social Unit and enjoyed all of those activities until I left to serve on a LDS mission to California. I spent nearly a year of my mission in the Mission Home located on the grounds of the Los Angeles Temple. It was a unique experience! Upon my return I found that the Social Units were gone so I became part of a group that organized and formed the original chapter of Cougar Club. I served as the 1963 BYU Homecoming Chairman and as the Executive Assistant to the V.P. of Social. During this time I met and married Lynda Webb from Lehi and we moved into the new King Henry apartments. I studied advertising, public relations, marketing and worked at Levan’s men store during the school year and at Geneva Steel during the summer.
Upon graduation I joined the marketing dept. of Mobil Oil Corp. in southern California. Two years later I accepted a position as Director, Cooperative Programs for the Foreign Study League (FSL) which resulted in the opportunity to travel over much of Europe. My FSL experience with High Schools and School Districts resulted in a new opportunity with Walt Disney Productions (Disneyland) where I managed their ‘Grad Nite’ program. Disneyland was truly a “fantasy” experience, even though I never got to dress up as “Goofy”.
When my wife’s father passed away we determined that it was time to return to Utah. I secured a position with KSL Radio where I spent the majority of my years as the National Sales/Marketing Manager and helped develop, manage and sell BYU Sports and the Utah Jazz NBA. For 12 years I traveled across most of America meeting with executives of the major Advertising Agencies. I ended my career in broadcasting as the General Manager of KCPX-FM (K98.7) and KUTR-AM. For the past 15 years I have worked on various projects as a fledgling entrepreneur. Some family members say that I’ve been retired for a long time but maybe that’s because I’ve been going to Montana fishing for over 30 years.
Lynda and I have 5 children. They have all gone to either BYU or Utah, as have their spouses. Two sons and one spouse are attorneys. One son is a seminary teacher and one son is finishing at the “U” intent on becoming a dentist. Our only daughter is a homemaker and mother. We have 12 grandchildren.
We all encounter those forks in the road as we journey through life. Some of my choices of which road to travel were dumb. Others were good, but all of it brought experience and growth. I’ve been blessed and I was lucky in Love. Perhaps my personal best, besides marrying a beautiful, wonderful woman, was when I accepted the challenge to play Tevye in “Fiddler on the Roof” in a production at the Promised Valley Playhouse. I have never done anything more frightening or rewarding, with the exception of being a parent. My family has been the most satisfying thing that I have ever done and it still brings me the greatest joy in my life.

2007 UPDATES:I am looking forward to seeing our class mates at the reunion. My husband and I completed a mission at the Family History Library in SLC. I learned to do research in England and some of the other British countries. Life is good and our family is growing. We now have 25 grandchildren and number 26 due in July. We just had our first great-grandchild in January.
July Update: My husband, David Pratt and I have 6 children, 26 grandchildren (and one more to be born in January) and 1 great grandchild (and another to be born in November). Dave and I spent 3 years in Bogota Colombia where Dave was the mission president. We also spent 6 months in England on BYU semester abroad. We also filled a family History Mission at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. Dave taught British Family History at BYU so we were assigned to the British Family History area. I learned how to search the records there and was able to extend my English family lines from 1830 to the late 1600's. It was very exciting. We now spend time seeing the beautiful, varied areas in Utah. We have a little camper so we can go whenever we feel the urge. We spend time visiting our children, who are scattered throughout the country (Michigan, Texas, Louisiana and Iowa as well as Utah).

While there, I served as a secretary to two Columbia law professors and also taught kindergarten at Teacher's College. Raleigh obtained his law degree and an MBA from Columbia in 1963 and we moved to Phoenix, Arizona while he passed the bar. We then moved to Holbrook, Arizona and resided there for 19 years where he practiced law. All 6 of our children were born in that area. In 1982 we moved to Monett, Missiouri where we resided for 14 years. While there, I acted as legal secretary to my husband and later became the owner and manager of a corn husk doll business that employed 45 women and had a clientel of over 300 businesses throughout the country. In 1996 the family moved to Mesa, Arizona where I lived for 3 years. At this point, my marriage of 38 years ended in divorce and I moved back to Provo and into the home that I was raised in while attending Provo High and BYU.

I feel fortunate at this time of my life to have good health and still be married to my husband and best friend, Deon, who is also in very good health. We are blessed to have had six children and ten beautiful grandchildren.
We live in a pretty little town called Leeds, Utah, where we have a perfect view of Pine Valley Mountain. We still work in a family grocery business with four of our children.
I am very lucky to have my wonderful 'White Elephant' friends. We enjoy getting together for club or traveling together as often as we can. We never quit laughing and it keeps us young. We will miss our dear friend, Alta Giles Peay, who was the first one of our group to pass away in May. She was our great party planner.
My hobbies are playing the piano and organ. I also enjoy working on the computer doing lots of book work and fun things to keep my brain working.
I am so impressed with the web site that our class members have made for us. It is so nice to know that we have so many great computer brains in our class. It was fun to see that Margene Symons and I share the same birthday, May 22th (another great Gemini). I found that Jean Clark, Irene Ivie and Don Liston are my neighbors in Southern Utah and Lonnie Gleaves is a snowbird. I am still laughing at Brandt Ellsworth's story. Thanks to all of you for sharing your computer knowledge with us so we could enjoy these letters.
After 50 years of being out of school though, with all of the changes that have taken place with our looks and appearances, I feel we need to remember only to look at each other with our hearts and not with our eyes. ha-ha!!!
