MY ALPINE

Since I taught in Alpine for 33 years,

I definitely consider it to be my

"home away from home."

Because Nick Gentry's funeral was near the

foothills, I decided to drive up after.

This was where I took my class hiking for years!

We walked from the school to the North Mountain.

Boy, I took walking for granted!!!

When we first went, the road was dirt

from the top of Grove Drive.

Now it's paved all the way!

We did a lot of learning about the history

and geology of the area, did experiments,

ate lunch, and went to the bowery for a water fight.

These pictures are GORGEOUS,

but...we always went in October.  

Nothing says beauty like Alpine in the fall!!!

This area meant that we had arrived!

GOLF

ON JUNE 10, WE HAD OUR ANNUAL FUNDRAISER

TO RAISE SCHOLARSHIP MONEY FOR THE JUNIORS

GOING TO VALLEY FORGE, AND THE TEACHERS GOING

ON THE SUMMER HISTORY TRIPS.

IT WAS HELD AT "THE LINKS AT OVERLAKE" 

GOLF COURSE IN TOOELE.

WE HAVE IT HERE, BECAUSE ONE OF OUR BOARD

 MEMBERS OWNS IT.

SO, ALL OF THE MONEY IS STRAIGHT DONATION.

AFTER WE SET UP FOR THE LUNCH, IT WAS

TIME TO DRIVE THE GOLF CARTS!!!

I WENT AROUND ALL OF THE COURSE, TWO TIMES!

I'VE DECIDED THAT I WILL DRIVE A GOLF CART IN HEAVEN!

A STORM WAS BREWING ALL DAY,

AND IT HIT AT LUNCH!

HERE ARE PICTURES FROM THE GREAT DAY!
