Hi Gary, isn't it funny how people do something so simple as buy you a coke, but it means so much. Cindy Oakley's Mom was so good to me, she always gave me a ride home. That was a big deal when you lived in Mapleton. That walk used to get awfully long. She also bought me 10 cent french fries and a nickle coke from the P.K. That is just one act of kindness that I recieved in high school. It would be fun if people would chime in and tell something nice that happened to them. Maybe that way everyone can write something on the forum!!  Denny's Mom had the ability to make everyone seem like they were the very best at whatever they were doing!!!

Well said Gary and Shauna.  I ran across this quote that really hit home with me.  You may have heard it, but it sure is nice to read it now and then.  Here it is:

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...

It's about learning to dance in the rain".

Now, how about that!  There is a profound message in this quote.  Have you ever known people that are really having a rough time, health wise, family, work, or whatever else is kicking them down the road, and they seem to be the happiest people you ever knew?  They have learned to "dance in the rain". 

Shauna Bona (Leetham)

You know it Chuck! As long as it is a warm rain at our age. I danced with my grandkids this summer. Loved it!!!

Daryl Tucker

Lots of good stuff being said. Thanks, Marvin, Gary, Chuck and Shauna! I'm planning on Kate's this coming Saturday. I don't know if Alauna will be coming along. If she doesn't maybe I'll be talking to you, Shauna, about hitching a ride.

The rain has been pretty scarce around here this Summer, but I'll bust a move next time the drops start falling!

Hi Kate, so far me, Jan and Jill are coming. Kathie is working on it. Daryl your welcome to ride with us, it could be a ride of a lifetime with a crazy girls. Ray will probably be coming to.

Eric Bird

Sorry everybody but I have a standing night with my son for LDS General Priesthood session of Conference. I'm sure that you will all have fun. It would be nice to see Ray.  Dennis R., my  sister (Maryann) and her husband Stan Jenkins saw you in Nephi last week on Harleys.  They didn't realize it was you until they drove off.

Wow, I think it's leaning more each year. Great stuff Shauna, especially in Rome and Barcelona. I may have Euro lag for a week or so now.

Nice Jeep (sorry you had to give it up) Dennis.

Nice elk Ken, bet he was majestic when he was alive. You should see the movie THE GREY, then you'd really hate Wolves. Oh, I like your fish too.

I guess my sons reminded me we have had that tradition for 26 years too, I could go for lunch but I'd have to not golf Sat. Hope you all have fun.

Shauna Bona (Leetham)

Hi everyone, if you were planning on the party at Kate's things have changed. She has thrown something out and she can't move. We pray that she will be ok. So the party has moved to my house. We will throw something together. So whoever was coming spread the word that it is at my house.  1134 E. Maple St. GET BETTER KATE    SO SORRY!

Dennis Robertson

We had a great time at Shauna's. it was great to see Cindy Oakley, Judy Daybell and Ray Chadwick along with the regulars. By the way I always use their maiden names. Lots of laughs. I'm so sorry about our friend Kate Robertson and her sore hip and I hope for a speedy recovery. 

Jan Allred (Carter)

Thanks Shauna! That was so much fun and it was great to see everyone!

Kenneth Strong

Thanks Shauna for filling in for Kate and making the evening a success.   It was great to see some new faces with Judy and Cindy coming.  Hope that Kate gets feeling better and gets back on her feet.  

Daryl Tucker

The party was great! Thanks, Shauna!

Kate Robertson (Schoening)

Well - I'm recuperating....still not moving great, but on the mend.  I'm sick that I had to cancel the last minute and I feel so ridiculous that just by moving wrong, I tear a muscle in my hip/leg......getting old sucks!!  I put it off till the last minute and did everything I could to stay out of the ER, trying to convince myself that if I just rested for a minute I would be able to stand up and get moving.  It was not to be - oh yeah, the ER sucks too!  But, the pain shot really helped, because I was in misery.

I'm so glad that you all got together anyway - I just wish that I could have gotten all this food over to Shauna - I will be feeding the neighbors for weeks! 

It's couch bound and ice for me for a few days, but I'll recover.  Thanks to everyone for being understanding and thanks to Shauna for jumping in.  We'll do it again and earlier next year!

Kenneth Strong

Kate,   good to hear that you will be on the mend.   We thought of you at Shauna's and was hoping that all was going to be ok.   Most important is that you get mended up so you can go about your business.   I think that we as a class can have a great time with our without food.  We did good for a last minute situation at Shauna's and you can bet that we will be looking forward to getting together again and hoping that you will be ready for the fun.  Take care and mend up.   Thanks for trying.  Thanks for what you do for the class with this web sight.  It has done wonders.     

Daryl Tucker

I'm happy to hear you are doing better, Kate. Shauna did a great job of subbing in as hostess, but we certainly missed having you there. Coming to your house the past few years has been a real treat and I look forward to doing it again sometime next summer!

Jan Allred (Carter)

Good to hear that you are doing better Kate. We really missed you and the others that didn't make it!

Shauna Bona (Leetham)

Hi Kate, so glad you are doing better. The party was a success and we had a great time. By the way  I didn't do it by myself,thanks to Kathie for jumping in and helping. Its amazing what you can do with the help of others.

David Lynn

I think as we get older Kate, it gets worse. You have a good attitude. My father in law (96 and never in a hospital) fell down last month and broke his hip, yesterday in the rehab center fell again and broke his other hip,  glad you are feeling better.

Those guys in Spain know how to build a church, I may move back and dedicate myself like Michalanglo for the rest of my life (4 years) doing glass at Gaudi's Basilica of the Sagrada Familia.  I guess I'll just golf.

Kenneth Strong

I had a grandpa granddaughter date today.  My four year old granddaughter thought she needed to go on a date with grandpa and go to Cabela's and feed the fish.   While there we ran into Mike Nelson.  He works there in the gun department.   We had a short but good visit.   He is a bit taller than high school.   It was so good to see a former classmate.   If you end up going to Cabela's stop in and see Mike.  I have been by several times and this was the first time I have ran into him.

Dennis Sorensen

Ok it is time for a trivia...In 1963 when President Kennedy was shot where were you?

I was rolling quarters down the main hall in Springville Junior high when the announcement came over the school intercom.  I am pretty sure Craig Devenish was with me but I don't remember who else but I do remember 3 or 4 of us participating. 

Dave the picture you posted was great.  How much of the glass did you do?

Gary Averett

I rember, it was announced .  Remember they sent us home, the day was over for Jr. high.

Charles (Chuck) Gividen

I also remember very clearly that day.  I was in a Civic's class.  The class was being held in a classroom on the second level of the building.  I was sitting in the 5th seat from the front of the 2nd row.  The principal announced it over the intercom.  Also, my sister was born that same day that it happened.  It's funny what things we remember in detail, and then there are other things that we draw a blank on.
