VaNyle Arbon

VaNyle Arbon 690 West 2600 South Perry, UT 84302 Ph#(435) 734 - 2423
CLASSES 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.
