Sorry to be so slow in getting you the information you requested.
I was born and raised in Santaquin; went to elementary and junior high there then to Payson High and graduation from there.
After graduation I spent a month in Florida with my brother and his family. We went around down there and saw a lot of interesting places, of which some were very interesting, especially in St. Augustine. After returning from Florida I worked in Nephi and Payson for about a year and a half.
In March of 1955 I went into Salt Lake City and spent the next forty or so years up there working. I went to Comptometer School, and after completing my schooling, I went to work for the old Salt Lake Hardware in June of 1955. I worked there for several years, in the billing department and also in the Cashier Cage. I then transferred to Turf Equipment Co., which at that time was a subsidiary of Salt Lake Hardware. It was later purchased by an individual and became a privately owned company. I did all the billing and accounts receivable for years, and eventually took over the credit management alone with my other work. I continued to work for Turf Equipment Co. until I retired in June of 1957. Never having married, I moved back to Santaquin and am living in my old home which was left to me by my parents.
After I started working I took up bowling and am still enjoying it today. My team and I have gone to the National Tournament a few times and that has been fun. I also played softball for Utah Power and Light for a few years back then. I still enjoy going camping and fishing whenever I get the chance. I also do some crafts and taking care of my yard planting flowers and a small garden.
Since retiring, I have started walking each day even in the winter when I can. I have done quite a lot of traveling with my sisters and their husbands. We try to take one good trip a year. We have traveled a lot throughout the Western States and are homing to make it into Canada this year.
Well, this about sums up my life for the last fifty years. I do not have a computer so no E-mail address, but you do have my correct mailing address.
