I saw the story on the kids fishing on TV but never saw you. Get in front of the camera Ken. You that don't want to golf on those days ought to at least come eat with us.

Marvin Dansie

I will be in Springville a few days next week and on June 1st I would like to have a kick-off meeting for the Class of '69 50th reunion. It would be nice to meet at restaurant, but being a Friday that may be a little difficult (depending on the time of day).

It has been awhile since I have been in the area and I am sure things have changed since my last visit. Does anyone have a suggestion for a suitable venue? I assume that most people would prefer to meet later in the afternoon.

This is a plea for help and I would appreciate any constructive input. 

Daryl Tucker

Marvin, 

I was going to round up some of the usual subjects to meet on the first, but got waylaid by some other pressing business. Sorry! Here's my suggestion: Instead of meeting at a restaurant on Friday the 2nd. Why don't we pick a nice, shady place like the grounds around the City Center. People could grab a sandwich from Subway, or there are usually food trucks across the street at the library on Friday nights. Everybody can bring a lawn chair to sit on (there are benches along the paths at the City Center, too.) Bring whatever you'd like to drink and we can form a circle where we can hear each other and knock around some ideas. Let's make it casual and meet at about 6 since some of us are still workaholics. What do you think? I'll still make some phone calls.

Marvin Dansie

Daryl,

That sounds like a good idea to me - casual is good. See you in a week.

Thanks for your help on this. 

Daryl Tucker

I need to correct the date on the reunion meeting. It will be on Friday, June 1st. Everyone is invited! Please try to make it!

Shauna Bona (Leetham)

Sounds like a good plan guys!! I have me a new scooter!! I went to the Social Security Office to drop off some papers. I left pissed off because I hate that place because you all know we aren't that old. So I was in a hurry as usual! I started through the intersection and the light changed, a big truck was speeding towards me, so I decided I needed to run! My mind said go but my feet aren't as fast anymore so My foot popped! Yep, it's broke so that is why I have a new Knee Scooter!  Has anyone else had any stupid accident's lately??????

Daryl Tucker

Mart E. (Gardner)

Not an actsdent, but I spent four months on a knee schooler. Had foot surgery last November. It's not so fun. And I get to ride it again this October when I get the other foot fixed. 

David Lynn

So Shauna, is the knee board attached to your scooter? 

Last week I was popping the clutch on a friends motor cycle (because the battery was dead) down a hill, the wheel locked up but didn't start. So the cycle stopped and I didn't. It was a steep hill so I slid down the road on my face with the bike back behind me. Is this the year of lost cordination? 

I can't wait to see you on your scooter.

Kenneth Strong

Daryl Tucker

Gee, Dave! Looks like you did a face plant in the hardware section at Home Depot! You might want to stay away from microwave ovens.

For Ken and anyone else who might be coming late, or in case the weather turns bad tomorrow. We will move the meeting into the basement of the old Carnegie Library across the street from the city building if necessary, so don't give up and go home if you don't see us at the park. Remember the old library? It's now the DUP Museum and office for the Springville Historical Society. See you at one place or the other at 6 tomorrow night!

Shauna Bona (Leetham)

 Well Mart i don't know how you took being on a scooter for that long! I'm about to go nuts already! And Dave your looking like a real Devil with your new horns!! It was nice to see everyone that came out to the meeting! wish their where more of you that would come. We really are fun!! ha ha! the reunion will be on the 8th of June next year so everyone start making your plans! Send idea's on this site if you have any suggestions! Then Marvin can do something with them!!! Can't wait to get the bus ready for our big 50!!!  Oh ya one more thing! We have a movie star in our class!! Daryl tell them the name and where to go see your movie!!!!!

Daryl Tucker

Happy Birthday Lynette Larsen Magliocco!

As for Shauna's question, last fall I got to be an extra in a movie they were filming at This is the Place Heritage Park in Salt Lake. The movie is "In Emma's Footsteps" and has been released in the Larry Miller Cineplex theaters. I'm a "bad guy" in some tavern scenes where mobbers have gathered to plan some evil deeds to perpetrate on the Mormons. I'm also in a couple of street scenes if they didn't get edited out. I haven't even seen it, yet, but I hear the movie is pretty well done. The guy who plays Joseph Smith in the movie is working with us on some of our projects at the Rivoli.

Daryl Tucker

Happy Birthday today to Elene Simonson Gourley!

Daryl Tucker

Happy Birthday, Richard Hjorth, our fearless leader!

Daryl Tucker

Happy 67th Julie Ann Judy Shaw!

David Lynn

I saw the movie Daryl but didn't see you. Unless it was the guy with his face on the bar.

Daryl Tucker

Just for you, Dave. Here is a shot of the screen my daughter took during the movie. I'm sitting on the right side of the back table. There were a couple of other scenes, but they showed me from the back, so you wouldn't have recognized me. I did get my name in the credits, though.

Daryl Tucker

Happy Birthday today to Cathy Biggs Howes and Michael Stephenson!

David Lynn

Cool! I didn't see you without your pony tail.

Is that Larry from the three stooges in the middle?

Daryl Tucker

I'm sad to report that we have received word of two more members of our class who have passed away. 

Vicki Vincent, who has been living and teaching high school in Rock Springs, Wyoming passed away on the 19th and Shirl Peterson, who has lived in Kona, Hawaii for many years passed away this past Monday.

I don't have many details to share regarding Vicki, but according to Shirl's sister-in-law, he has been dealing with respiratory problems for a while and the recent volcanic activity near his home made things more difficult for him, eventually leading to severe pneumonia and ultimately his death.

This brings the total number of our class to have passed to 41. We send our deepest condolences to the members of these two families.

UTawna Johnson (Witney)

More sad news, Daryl.  Thank you for keeping us informed. My deepest condolences to these families.

For the  rest of us ... the beat goes on.  With each day that we make it through, hopefully our minds are gaining wisdom and knowledge ...even through the aches and pains that our bodies feel.  Caution!, don't put yourself next to a youngster if you want to feel technically smart.... that's not a good feeling (unless you're Mart Gardner :) )!!
