I went along, and it is a thrill to know that you are one of a comparative few who see Yellowstone in the winter. If you ever have a chance, give it considerable thought. The excitement of the' snowmobiling combined with the beauty of that park is something you will never forget. grapher Ogden Kraut for Frank Hirsts retirement. It is a spoof on the book called Utah II. Really well done. If you have had any association with Childrens Primary Hospital in Salt Lake City you probably felt good as I did when KSL Radio went over $100,000 in their marathon to raise funds for that facility. My only regret was the intense cold stopped my movie camera just minutes after leaving the motel room, and very few still shots were taken. You had to pull off those gloves in below zero temperatures to We have had three sons experience the privilege of being part of Mr. McCurdys sixth grade class and we think its about time some grateful parents speak out about the blessings they have experienced having a child in his class. Years agp our first son was a part of Mr. McCurdys very first class here at Dugway. We remember feeling the love and caring this man feels for his students. If you were to visit Mr. 'McCurdys classroom,. you would rarely find students sitting rigidly at their desks, silent and in fear of speaking. Instead what you would find is a class buzzing with the activity of positive learning. There is an electric excitement in the air that is rarely found in any exciting. . So from two grateful parents, we would like to say thanks to Mr. Mac for giving so much of yourself to our children. They will always remember you with love and warmth in their hearts. Thanks for teaching them that reading, math and science can be fun to leaml Most of all, thanks for being flexible enough to allow them, on occasion, to close their books, put down their pens and go outside to experience the wonders of nature. Sometimes we are so busy trying to teach them the three Rs that we miss the rainbows in the sky. Thanks for all the rainbows you have shown our children, Mr. McCurdy, for all the times you have taken the time to listen to them and talk to them about their feelings. Thank you for your total dedication and your love. We are so glad you have chosen to teach at classroom. But most of all you would find a loving rapport happening between students and teacher. Mr. McCurdy teaches, his students . that learning doesnt have to be boring ot forced, but can be happy and BUQOtS. 0 HMf TO 00 rut Bur x SAf I YOU SO MOWS X! j.rr SMPU0NC0 HA 7 ANN A HSACT ATTACK Dugway!
