THIS IS THE START OF MY SECOND YEAR BEING
ON THE BOARD OF THE UTAH CHAPTER FOR THE
FREEDOMS FOUNDATION AT VALLEY FORGE.
(THE FOUNDATION I WENT ON 5 US HISTORY TRIPS WITH.)
THE LUNCHEON WAS HELD AT
LITTLE AMERICA ON FEBRUARY 11, 2015.
IT IS TO HONOR HEROES, ESSAY WINNERS,
NATIONAL AWARDS, AND THE SCHOLARSHIP
WINNERS WHO ARE GOING TO VALLEY FORGE.
THESE WERE THE APPLICATIONS FOR THE SCHOLARSHIPS.
PART OF THE APPLICATION WAS AN ESSAY, PROJECT IDEA
FOR SCHOOL WHEN THEY RETURNED,2 LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION,
AND THE NORMAL SCHOOL STUFF.
I HELPED INTERVIEW ABOUT 50 KIDS ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, IN MURRAY.

WHY YES, THIS IS ME ACTING LIKE A JR. HIGH GIRL,

ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE KIDDOS,
SAM PAYNE!
SAM WAS IN MY 2ND CLASS...1981-1982.
HE WAS THE NICEST BOY!
TODAY, HE'S THE PRINCIPAL OF THE
PIONEER HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS.
HE ALSO PERFORMS A LOT.
HIS FATHER IS MARVIN PAYNE.
I TAUGHT SAM'S SISTER, ELIZA AND HIS
HALF-SISTER, CAITLIN.
SAM WAS A GUEST OF ONE OF THE SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS.
LT. GOVERNOR, SPENCER COX, SPOKE.
I WAS ABLE TO MEET HIM BEFOREHAND.
HE IS MARK'S BOSS.
MARK WAS ALSO THERE.
DON AND I ANNOUNCED THE SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS.
AND, HERE'S A PICTURE OF THE DESSERT . . . FYI.
LLOYD NEWELL, THE VOICE FROM
"MUSIC AND THE SPOKEN WORD"
WITH THE
MORMON TABERNACLE CHOIR
INTRODUCED THE HEROES,
ESSAY, AND NATIONAL AWARD WINNERS.
I SAT AT THE HEAD TABLE . . . BUT HERE IS
WHAT THE ESSAY WINNERS LOOKED LIKE FROM MY VIEW.
I SAT NEXT TO REVEREND PATRICK LEWIS.
HE WAS ON THE END, AND NO ONE TO TALK TO BUT ME.
HE WAS TO GIVE THE INVOCATION, BUT WAS LATE.
SO, THEY HAD HIM GIVE THE BENEDICTION.
I ENJOYED SITTING BY HIM,
BUT HE THOUGHT I WAS WEIRD!

STAN ELLSWORTH
STAN ELLSWORTH IS ON THE TV SHOW,
AMERICAN RIDE, ON BYUtv.
HE TRAVELS ALL OVER ON HIS HARLEY GIVING HISTORY LESSONS.
I TOOK THIS PICTURE TO GET THE BACK OF HIS COOL VEST.
WHEN I DID, THE REVEREND SAID,
"ARE YOU TAKING A PICTURE OF HIS BUTT?"
HE ANNOYED ME WHEN I TOOK A PICTURE OF THE DESSERT.
HE LAUGHED AT ME.
SO, AFTER THIS COMMENT, I TURNED TO HIM AND SAID,
"YOU'RE THE FIRST REVEREND THAT'S EVER SAID 'BUTT' TO ME!"
(HE TOLD ME HE'S BEEN MARRIED TWICE. TWO KIDS FROM FIRST WIFE...AGES 32 AND 34. AND THREE KIDS FROM 2ND WIFE...AGES 8, 9, & 10.
SERVES HIM RIGHT!)
