"Marci Wicks with Tooele Outreach introduced me to Ann Marie Fuller and my whole world changed," Bush said.

During the winter, we would go sleigh riding on the little hill by the Methodist Church on Utah Avenue, and up on Cemetery Hill. There were few cars around and the road was closed for sleigh riding. We would build fires on the bottom of the hill to warm us up. We all wore long underwear and brown stockings in the winter.

"At first we were licensed because of our own pets, but later our friends and neighbors started asking if we could take care of their pets for them," Durfee said. "At that point I realized there was such an interest and need for pet care in this area and I knew I could provide that service. The business just grew from there, and with the business expanding, so did our accommodations. My whole life has been very pet-oriented, so I feel like I have always been in tune with their needs."

Seeing her garden attests to the possibility that genetics has something to do with gardening talents. She has gathered many of her favorite perennials — the same ones found in her grandparents’ gardens — and combined them with more modern favorites to create a serene area in her back yard.

The first thing I learned was we all need to feel really sorry for car salesmen. Everywhere we went they told us, "At this price we are not making a dime on this vehicle."

Many of the classmates related that their class is unique because the majority of the students attended kindergarten through 12th grade together in the Tooele County school system. At the time there was just one elementary school -- Central -- one junior high and one high school.

Ron Gillette is the retiree who worked the most years for the Tooele County School District. He wasn't a teacher, but a bus driver. He started in 1959 and drove routes of kindergartners through 12th grade. He started a cab business in the 1950s when a friend dragged him down to the board office because he had his CDL. He started driving buses the next day, and now 49 years later, he's retiring.

At first, I wanted to cry, which is what most girls do when things go wrong. Of course I was much younger then and a little naïve to figure out that girls at that age can be just plain annoying when they cry. And whiney. And bossy, too. But, who knew? And all those tears just because I wanted to win an election. I am sure you understand.

I learned we need to make sure we are doing the "five essentials" every day: family prayer, family scriptures, family dinner, one-on-one time, and family night once a week. If we can't work the five essentials in, we need to re-evaluate our lives and make time for these important family rituals that will keep our families strong amidst the turbulent world we are living in.

But what the couple was called to do wasn't as much of a surprise. While Gene served as the mission secretary, Carolyn served as the financial secretary, which was a job not too much different from what she had done before their mission, although it was different enough to be challenging. She had recently retired from the Veterans Affairs financial office, but taking care of the finances in a foreign country was not what she expected.

She's only had this dog, named Jari, for two months. He is a multi-task dog who works on a variety of tasks. He is a narcotics detector and does tracking article, evidence, buildings and compound searches. Davis acquired the 5-year-old Belgian malinois mix through a police department in the Salt Lake Valley. She wanted a new dog to train for drug detector work and Jari's previous handler told her that he would be euthanized that following Monday.

The mortuary was a Victorian-style house where the present mortuary is now. Across Main Street on First South was Swans' grocery store. It was small, clean and quiet.

Hunk of wisdom #5: The shaving cream, Oreos, tin cans and paper that decorated your "Just Married" car is just a precursor to having children of your own.

Protect your business against the loss of a key employee. If you have an employee with valuable management or sales skills, and this person were to die unexpectedly, your business could suffer. That's why you may want to write a "key-person" life insurance plan on this employee. In its simplest form, key-person coverage pays cash to your company, which is usually the policy beneficiary, when the designated employee dies or becomes disabled. Key-person insurance also can be structured to fund deferred-compensation arrangements or buyout agreements between partners.

$2,025 came from the participants, who collected on pledges and even held bake sales on the TOCDF site at Deseret Chemical Depot to raise cash for the CJC. Ana Twitchell, an agent chemist employed by the TOCDF laboratory and air monitoring subcontractor, Battelle, raised the most, $752. EG&G Defense Materials, Inc, the URS Corporation subsidiary that operates the TOCDF for the Army, added $2,000.
