When I was in high school, I thought that was the best time of my life. And it was--probably at that time. Then I went to Utah State University--and that was the best time of my life. I met my husband to be, Jim, and married him on August 15, 1960. I had graduated in June and my father thought a new son in law would be the right combination for a "business partner". So, Jim, married the boss's daughter. He had changed majors, and he completed his schooling-- commuting while we lived in Brigham City, Ut., and I taught at Box Elder High School. We moved from there to Montpelier where I taught English at Montpelier High School for three years. We than started a family--a daughter and a son--and lived in Montpelier for another thirty six years. We retired and moved to AZ and have lived here for seventeen years. Wow!

How fortunate I was to graduate from MHS. Wes Baker was such a good music teacher--piano, choral, and band. He even thought Doris Stephens and I should be "majorettes" for the band. The choral groups were always outstanding at Music Festivals. His reputation preceded him whenever MHS performed. Lewis Munk was by far the best literature/English teacher I ever had. He got me ready to teach grammar and to love English literature particularly. A.M. Rich made government interesting and tweaked our curiosity about current events as well as history. I don't want to leave anybody out--Mr. Wildie, Mr Phillips, Mr. Powell, and others were influences on my life.
