Class or Activity at BRHS most influenced my life for the past 55 years.
All of my classes had a major influence. American History has been of interest in my travel experiences etc, Mathematics has been a part of my construction career. Extra curricular activities: My activities in the church & community.

What have you done with your life since 1952?
We run the family farm and worked in construction for my father until we moved to Phoenix, Az. We have had our own construction business since that move in 1956. Recently served a mission for our church to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We were assigned to the Richmond, Virginia Mission and while there we traveled the State on our free time. (Got caught up in our American History). Came home last year. I started up another construction business (Got bored with nothing to do) so now I am back working at what I have enjoyed all my life. Tyra and I have been active in the church all these years and have served both ward and stake assignments. We presently have 5 children, 20 grandchildren and 7 great grand children.

Hobbies/Interests/Talents:Ward & stake Choirs—I still play the Harmonica at church activities and special occasions. I like to travel and still manage some fishing trips.

CLASS OR ACTIVITY THAT MOST INFLUENCED MY LIFE: probably working on the school paper and learning the basics of writing and selling advertising to businesses. I have used both off these activities many times. Also enjoyed many school activities attended with my friends. Definitely the class I would never take again is algebra.

My life since 1952: the most important activity was marrying Hartley Anderson on December 1952. There hasn't been a dull moment since. We raised six sons and the last caboose was the only daughter. We have 30 grandkids and six great. We have lived in many places and have made many friends in each place.

Since 1969 we have worked in a family-owned business (now run by our children. I am still active in the business.) We have had many exciting business trips combined with pleasure. Our most memorial trip was to Indonesia where we were guests of the prince and princess and met the Sultan at his palace. The greatest part of our business has been the satisfaction of knowing that our business has touched the lives of many people for good with both their health and their financial well-being. We were blessed on going on a mission for the church to Haywood California for 18 months. (We were there during the last reunion, I missed being with all with you all.)

Hobbies/interests/talents: being with my family and friends anytime and especially the fishing and camping trips with them. Reading, studying the Gospel, and nutrition, taking care of my small vegetable and flower gardens (just the size I can manage now), and taking walks. Traveling on business trips with interesting and fun side trips included.

ACTIVITIES THAT INFLUENCED MY LIFE:
I especially enjoyed the year serving on the student council. The special group of teachers in a variety of subjects who made an extra effort to see that we received a fairly broad and deep understanding in a wide array of life's pursuits.

My life since 1952: I attended Utah State University from 1952 to 1959 with a two year church mission in Toronto/Montréal in 1956 to 57. My college degree was in business administration. I was commissioned a lieutenant in the USAF and served on active duty from 1959 to 1963. I entered commercial banking working for five banks over a 30 year period. I graduated from the Pacific Coast school of banking at the University of Washington. Before my retirement I served as senior vice president and senior branch administrator, and served on the Board of Directors. I married E. Dan Anderson from Brigham city in 1959. We raised five children and have 10 grandchildren. My wife and I have lived in four states and in London England, and have traveled to a number of foreign countries during our life together. We have been active in our church including a mission we served together in 2000 to 2001. We are currently working at the Bountiful LDS Temple. We are now in our fifth year as temple workers. We have been blessed with good health, good friends, and generally a very happy and prosperous life.

Hobbies/Interests/Talents: I enjoy writing personal biographic life stories. I golf several times a week in the summers. I snow ski in the winter months. I enjoy reading both fiction and nonfiction.

LIFE SINCE 1952: The summer after graduation I worked at Hill AFB, then enrolled at the University of Utah in
their engineering program. During the following couple of years my education at the "U" was interspersed with or overlapped work with Standard Stations. The winter of 1953-54 was spent working in Los Angeles. In the fall of 1955 I received a call to serve in the New England mission for the LDS Church, and spent the next two years in Massachusetts, Maine and Nova Scotia, Canada. I joined the Utah Air National Guard after my mission release, and in March 1958, until September was on active duty. In the fall of 1958 I went to work for the Sperry Engineering Lab in Salt Lake as an engineering aid. After a year there I was promoted to engineer, and given the responsibility for thrust and drag analysis of the Sergeant missile, which we were building at that time. I worked there for the next few years, simultaneously taking classes in math and engineering. I finally decided this was not the field I was most interested in, and returned to the "U" full time studying in the biological sciences. I graduated from the "U" in 1963, and went to work for the Utah Department of Fish and Game (later to become the Division of Wildlife Resources).
During my active duty training with the Air Guard I met Marian Newsom. She later came to BYU, and we were married in 1960. We had five children, two boys, three girls. While working for the State Wildlife agency I felt I was part of some original and worthwhile accomplishments. I worked with a biologist in Washington State and trapped the first Rocky Mountain goats ever brought into Utah; was in charge of the project to tranquilize and move the first moose transplanted in the stat~ (the first ever done by helicopter); did the first helicopter survey and transplanting of Utah's desert bighorn sheep and some of the original research, including radio telemetry tracking, in the Canyonlands area of the state; was the Regional Supervisor when Strawberry Reservoir was treated with rotenone (the largest project of its kind ever undertaken in the world): and as a Regional Supervisor, pioneered a new personnel management program. I retired in 1993 after 30 years with the DWR.
Interspersed with all of the above I served in various church and other callings. These included Elders Quorum President, Bishopric, Branch President at the Provo Missionary Training Center, Stake High Council, Stake Mission President, Teacher and Councilor at the Utah State Prison, High Priest leadership and at present Ward Executive Secretary. Marian and I were divorced after 26 years of marriage and I married Joan Beck. Our combined families include ten children, 25 grandchildren. and just recently a great grandson. She and I served a mission together in Croatia, which was a part of the Slovenia Ljubljana Mission. We have also traveled a bit together, including several places in the US and Canada, a two-month road trip to Alaska and a six week trip to Europe (Austria, Switzerland, Germany, England and France). We have also taken two cruises to Alaska and cruises to the Caribbean and Panama Canal, and last summer did a cruise on the Baltic Sea, visiting Russia and several other Baltic countries.
