Really not anything new has happened to speak of since the last reunion. No new grandchildren. No new jobs, Jerry and I celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary this year. Last year I was the chairman of the 50 reunion for the class of ’52 at BYU. That was an interesting experience.
Just a lot of this and that. We both have good health and are glad about that. We are able to lead, happy and healthy lives.
See you soon. Ann

Activity at BRHS that most influenced my life.
As I recall, none in particular. They all had some part, as well as my friends and teachers.
My life this past 55 years: I have worked at the Tooele Ordnance Depot as a mechanic and then at Hill Air Force Base as an electoral plater. I served a mission to South Africa, did military service in Korea, then went to college at USU, was married. I finished college and we raised four sons.
I lived in Logan, Utah, Palmdale,California, Encino, California, San Jose, California, Fair Oaks, California, Linden, Utah, and since 1984 I have lived in Rexburg Idaho.
My accomplishments include: three Eagles scouts, four missionaries, currently seven grandchildren (the joy of my life).
The first son, Roy, was born in Logan Utah, lives in Anchorage, Alaska, has three sons and a daughter. Works at servicing city buses and does commercial fishing.
Second son, Claine, born in Lancaster, California, lives in Kalamazoo, Michigan, has a daughter, works in the hospital as a registered nurse.
Third son, Karl, born in San Jose, California, lives in Reno, Nevada, has a son and a daughter, he is an attorney and does litigation for an insurance company.
Our son, Greg, born in Santa Clara, California, lives in Salt Lake City, not yet married, works as a substitute teacher, still trying to finish college at the University of Utah, and sings in the Tabernacle choir.
My wife, Rhea, and I are in reasonably good health, but feel the wear and tear of the years, but we have a good life together.
We like camping and fishing in the summer, and I like snowmobiling in the winter. We raised a big garden. I still like to tinker with anything that has an engine, and enjoy woodworking projects. We have traveled in our motorhome from the southern border through Alaska and from California to New York.
We also enjoy camping in Island Park and Yellowstone Park. With my sons, we have enjoyed fishing trips in Alaska together. My wife and I have taken a cruise to visit the ruins of on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico.
As a novelty, a friend and I toured Yellowstone Park on a vintage tractor. It was never known to have been done before. My younger son says that it does not take much to entertain dad.
A friend of mine gave me a ride in his P-51 Mustang. I am still smiling from the experience. I am presently serving as a High Priest group leader in our Ward. My wife and I were ordinates workers in the Idaho Falls temple. We hope to soon be working in the Rexburg Temple.

My life has been quite adventuresome. Much of it has been traveling with my family. When my four girls were young, we packed up our household and moved to New Zealand. My husband worked on scientific balloon projects. The girl’s friend did not believe Ernie was getting paid for flying balloons. The friends thought he worked for the CIA. I embraced the British culture by going to the market every day and even went to high teas at times. I became a staunch supporter of the British royal family. I went to see the royal family a couple of times when they visited the Christchurch. We adopted a Christmas time tradition of having a barbecue on the beach with our stocking stuffed with garden fresh green peas instead of oranges.
My most grand adventure was accompanying my husband to the Ascension Islands in the Atlantic. We had an opportunity to stay overnight in a haunted house built in the 1700’s. We did have a terrifying encounter with a ghost who have never left the house. I was accidentally locked in the dark underground museum and while swimming in the ocean was sniffed by a 9 foot smiling shark. I would love to go back!
When my husband was 58 he retired. We sold our house, put our possessions in storage and let the girls use the car. We were as free as birds traveling back to New Zealand and Australia. The Great Barrier reef was my most memorial memorable excursion as on I was bit by a big fish while scuba diving.
My husband and I decided we should act our age as we are now in our 70s. Last year we were one wounded in New Zealand in a boating accident. A rough wave hit our boat and tossed us around. We decided we were not in our 50s. I still feel very adventuresome.
We have settled down in quiet little Springville. Now we travel and enjoy the company of our children and grandkids. They take care of our arrangements and keep us out of trouble.
Our four married daughters have given us 15 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. All of the older ones have been bitten by the travel bug. It doesn't take long to pack as I always like to go places!
Bear River High School was very important to me because my dad, Lee Roy Bunnell was the Ag. teacher. Life at Bear River High school was quiet calm and well-behaved “ mostly" and structured. I never dreamed my life experiences would include so much adventure.

Carrol Gunnell
Carrol Gunnell- Missionary in Russia
Hello Classmates: Wish we could be to the Bear River High reunion. We will be home September 6th, a little late for the reunion. Darrell said he would like a blurb about what we have been up to. Well this is our second mission. The first was an 18 month mission to Nigeria where it is so very hot, this mission is for 24 months and the winters are very, very cold. Both missions were tough, but this Russian mission, I think, is tough because of the language. We have really tried hard to learn the language but that isn’t one of our gifts. When we go teaching, we need the Elders to go with us. Speaking in meetings we need the Elders, etc. We are teaching English to the Russians, members and non member, twice a week. Sister Gunnell teaches the beginners and I teach the advanced. (I, who got D’s in English at BRHS.) We have baptized a few of our students, so whatever works. The Church is growing very slowly, but it is growing. There are no Stakes as yet but some of the areas are close. The people are a wonderful people and it will be a sad day when we have to say our goodbye’s to them. The food is fantastic. We love the food, probably too much as we are gaining a little around the middle. We live in a city called Talyatti, population 85,000. The city is a little Detroit as it has one of the biggest automobile plants in Russia. The city has the Volga River flow through it and we are surrounded by a beautiful forest. My short blurb is getting long so I will close now. I will be thinking of all you classmates during the reunion.

LIFE THESE PAST 55 YEARS?
Hey, I’d rather talk about you. I can guess that even though you hate those routine trips to the doctor, you still humor him/her: you force yourself to exercise, resist that ice cream treat and tank up on pills. You complain that people mumble, and print is too small. Still, I suspect you do it all with wonderful humor. You are at peace because have long since learned the art of forgiving. You have loved and are loved, you have contributed generously and have gratefully accepted, you treasure many good friends and take absolute joy in your posterity. You remember, with justifiable pride, the many good things you have accomplished. And you’re ready for more—perhaps at a slower pace. I am glad to be one of you. I think you’re great!
Sorry I’ll not be able to attend. Have fun. ELAINE

MY 55 YEARS SINCE GRADUATION FROM “BRHS”.
Things haven’t changed much since our reunion 5 years ago. I attended BYU for one year then moved to Salt Lake City where I joined the work force. In 1961 I fulfilled a mission for the LDS Church. Serving in the Great Lakes Mission and it was one of the great experiences of my life. It was there that I first met my husband to be. It took him a while to come to Utah and to convince me that we should get married. It has been great. We have two daughters and eight grandchildren. Our lives have been centered around the church and our family – doing things as a family –nothing too spectacular but fun for us. After my girls were out of school I went back to work at Larkin Mortuary. I loved my job there, serving and helping people in their time of need and sadness. I retired from there in December 2001. I have enjoyed being at home since and meeting the challenges that I receive at this stage of my life. (If you notice that this is not too much different from the one 5 years ago you are correct. Please don’t tell anyone.)
Hobbies/Interests/Talents: My Family and my sewing.
I will always cherish my memories of my special friends and all the fun times we had at BRHS.

VaNyle Arbon 690 West 2600 South Perry, UT 84302 Ph#(435) 734 - 2423CLASSES AND ACTIVITIES THAT MOST INFLUENCED MY LIFE:
Eugene Jorgenson choir. Mr. Blackham's English. Mr. Bunnell’s agriculture classes. Coach Linford’s football.
MY LIFE SINCE 1952: I spent two years in the military as a 22-year-old greenhorn where I grew up and learned to appreciate the American flag, The freedom that people take for granted! As well as the great country called the United States of America. I especially appreciate the great generation that gave so much for us, including their lives. I retired from Thiokol Corp. with over 30 years of service. I was responsible for the Manufacturing Directorate, Quality Assurance Directorate and Test Directorate. Labor estimates, as well as the other associated costs such as special tooling, facilities and material costs for the fabrication and delivery of items which include Minutemen space shuttle, and other missiles. This effort also included labor justification, fact-finding and negotiation with customers. I was able to see some great things happen in the area of space industry in those 30 some years
My wife Elaine and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary the 14th of September 2 06. We have two children and four grandchildren. I'm active in the LDS church and have spent many years of service in callings that came with such service.
Hobbies/Interests/Talents: I sing in my ward choir, I play golf four to five times a week. I still ski, I started skiing in 1952 and it's still fun. I also snowmobile in many areas of the state. But I enjoy the Island Park area the most because of the view of beautiful scenery.

CLASS OR ACTIVITIES THAT MOST INFLUENCED ME:: In retrospect there were probably more than I recall but some nice lessons from those years have blessed my life.
My life since 1952: well I haven't written many books and I haven't set any world records or been elected mayor, et cetera.
I was fortunate to serve a mission for the LDS Church and was invited to serve in the US Navy for a while. With considerable effort I managed to get a college degree.
Along the way I was lucky enough to marry a beautiful and wise girl. We walked and worked together for 28 days short of 50 years. (She died 2-1-07). Oh how I miss her.
We raised four sons (two of which have died) and one daughter. Our children have given us 18 grandchildren and one great granddaughter. How we love them.
We have endeavored to live with honor and to assist others along the way.
Some time ago I started a little business, “Varge Christensen Draperies”. It has been a fun and profitable adventure. I'm still active in the business because clients continue to call and I continue to work.
LIFE is good!
Hobbies/interests/talents: I like to listen to good music, watch grandchildren participate in sports, theater, etc.

MY LIFE THE PAST 55 YEARS:
I married Blain Madsen in August 1952. Together we had four children, three sons Jeff, Greg and Gary and one daughter, Jackie. We traveled throughout the state with the high school rodeo Association. Greg took second in the bareback the year he was a senior and Gary was a state champion his senior year. We went to nationals in Wyoming and Louisiana. That was a good part of our lives spending time with our children. We also did a lot of horse racing and camping with our family.
In 1968 I went to work for Bear River State Bank. I retired in 1990. Blaine passed away in December of 1993. After Blaine's death I traveled to Scotland, England, and France with some friends and the high school French club. We had a great time traveling. I spent some time in Houston, Texas and Illinois with friends who live there. I also was a volunteer at the Bear River Valley Hospital for five years and was president for two years. In January 1999 I married Lee C. Johnsen. We spent two years working in the Logan Temple. Since then we've we spend our winters in Yuma, Arizona and our summers camping and fishing, traveling-Washington, DC and surrounding areas as well as Kentucky and Canada. At the present time I have 14 grandchildren, eight grandsons, and six granddaughters. Ryan, my oldest grandson served a mission in Brisbane, Australia. Jake my second grandson wrestled for Bear River High School and was a state champion at 119 lbs. his junior year. He was student body president in 2005-2006 and received the ambassador scholarship for USU. He just finished his last year at Utah State in May and the left to serve an LDS mission in the Vladivostok, Russia Mission. Our granddaughter Jessica was a cheerleader at BRHS. I have six grandchildren married and eight great-grandchildren. I have lived in Tremonton all my life, staying home for 48 years. I've had a great life.
Hobbies: Spending time with my family and my husband Lee. Camping, four wheeling, river running and watching the grandchildren play ball and junior rodeos. Just having fun and enjoying life.

Classes that helped:
One of the classes that helped me early on was the commercial art class where I learned how to create the big banners advertising coming events. I did a lot of work of that nature at Utah State, and became involved in some fun activities as a result.
Another class was the public speaking class taught by Milt Johnson, but the most important class to me was the Student Council. I learned where the bones were buried? what was really going on in school, and I really learned how to eat humble pie, due to my short lived insurrection with Maggie Woodside.
I got my college degree from Utah State, where I was active in Student Government. I immediately left for Southern California where I taught for one year, then left to teach in the San Jose area. I married and had a daughter, who now lives in Alpine with her husband and my darling 4 grandchildren. I returned to Utah State and earned a graduate degree. I left my marriage and 7 years later married a widower with 5 children, we were married 30 years before he passed away. I earned a graduate degree in counseling, and that was my career for nearly 20 years. After my husband died, I later met an air force-commercial airline pilot, Bob, and we traveled, golfed, played bridge and enjoyed ourselves for 7 delightful years. He passed away just a year ago.
I have had a condo in Maui for 27 years, and have spent the winters there for some time. I recently sold my home in Los Gatos, and moved to the Villages, a retirement golfing community built on an old winery site, and I have a lovely view of a lake and lots of wildlife. And I got a hole in one--life is good.
My greatest contribution since graduation: I have been associated with Valle Monte, a volunteer group, for 17 years, and have participated in many funds raisers for Mental Health. We put on a heck of a week of teas, coffees and grand ball type activities during the early Christmas season and earn between $50-60K each year. I’ve done some volunteering with kids needing ESL support. I was associated with a psychologist as a female counselor; we worked as a pair doing marriage counseling for several years. One of the most fun activities was teaching folk dancing to hearing impaired girls. They were terrific. I also taught a class at Foothill college for women entering the work force after being at home mom and not working for years.

CLASS OR ACTIVITY AT BRHS THAT MOST INFLUENCED MY LIFE: It is difficult to name just one because we had so many great teachers at BRHS. “Tuff” Linford was a great baseball coach. Mr. Jorgensen helped me develop my voice. I've done a lot of barbershop and quartet singing. Mr. Blackham didn't take any guff and I can still quote some Shakespeare. Mr. Kerr was great, he was a friend to everyone. I think he is one of only two former teachers that are still alive at this time. He lives in my ward and still remembers our high school days. He still has a great sense of humor.
LIFE THESE PAST 55 YEARS: Becoming a self-proclaimed billionaire. Just kidding of course (Now Darrell Rose will be asking for a loan or handout). Seriously though I've worked hard. I Built a family business with my wife and sons. We own and operate a grain elevator, trucking and brokerage, service and ship grain throughout the world. I have raised and am still raising a wonderful family of eight children, 31 grandchildren, three step-grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. I have been in two bishoprics and a member of the Stake High Council. Cherre and I worked in the Logan Temple for four years. I was a member of the hospital board, city planning commission and the City Councilman for over 20 years. I've played baseball and sponsored many baseball teams. I help build a ball diamond and donated the first scoreboard at the Tremonton City North Park.
HOBBIES/ INTERESTS/TALENTS: I love to work to still do, whether it is on my little farm, in my yard and garden, or driving down the road in my Kenmore truck. Playing with my grandkids and watching their ballgames is a delight for me.

Class Activities at BRHS most influenced my life for the past 55 years.
Seminary, typing & 6th hour P.E.
LIFE THESE PAST 55 YEARS:
Employed a short time at Hill A.F.B.
Served 3 years 10 months and 23 days in the USAF.
Graduated from BYU (60) Southern Illinois Univ ((61) Univ of Oklahoma (65)
Taught at Tulsa Univ. Colorado State University, Northern Illinois Univ.
Married Dorline Hill Nov 18, 1955. We have 4 great kids, 15 moderately great grandchildren and 2 ½ great grandkids.
Was director of Audiology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota and Jacksonville, Florida for 24 years. Retired in July 1994. Served missions in India, London Temple, Scotland and Nebraska Omaha missions. Still doing some consulting for a couple of companies and take lots of naps. .
I try to stay active although I would rather nap than work. I am scheduled to teach two sessions a month in various parts of the USA and Canada for a hearing aid organization for the next year or so. I have spent a good deal of time over the last several years doing consulting work for a Utah company. Have enjoyed Church Service in nearly all areas. I have been spared activity in Relief Society and YMMIA. My most enjoyable church calling was as a Stake President in Rochester, Minnesota. As Mac Thompson said about me, “You as a Stake President would really test one’s faith.” He really knows how to hurt a person.
It will be good seeing all you “old” people.
