Show Lakeside Review, July 8, 1981, Page 3A Parade Grand Marshalls Recall Early Progress in Farmington FARMINGTON To many, the city of Farmington 3 expanding rapidly, but in the eyues of Hazel T. and 1. Harold Robinson, Farmington Fiesta Days grand narshalls, it is still the village. I think we are the oldest living native couple in arminton, said Mrs. Robinson, She laughingly lelieves that is why the Lions cClub picked them to ide in the Farmington Fiesta Days parade July 18. The fact is, however, that they are originals, lobinson is one of the original Lions. The Lions Club vas only seven years old in Utah and Idaho when tobinson and 27 other men met to charter at the Hotel Jtah in April of 1929. There were no clubs for men he said. He felt it ooked like a fine addition to the citys But his main concern was to nanagement. lo something worthwhile. When youre young, you have the spirit to start ihings, said Mrs. Robinson, remembering about the rganization of the club. Robinson was chosen to serve as secretary, a position he held for many pears. The idea was for civic improvement and to take :are of the youth, said Robinson. The first project was to establish a city swimming facility at the old Lake Park. A well was drilled, but no water could be reached, and the lake receded so rapidly that it was more than a mile to the water. The first project was a total failure, said Mrs. Robinson. But the Lions tried again. Their second project was a city play ground on Main Street and 100 Robinson's time. He taught for 42 years on the high school level. One of the original teachers at Davis High, he began his teaching career in 1914. He is the only living member of that original faculty. I had the best students in the state of Utah, said Robinson. He cites governors, judges, and successful businessmen among his students. Its all the pay you get, the satisfaction of seeing fine young people become stalwart prominent people. The Robinsons life centers around their seven children. The children get in touch with their parents weekly even though some of them live in other states. Much of Robinsons time is taken up in writing letters to his family, tending his beautiful gardens and reading. Mrs. Robinson is active in her literary club. Her greatest success, she feels has been her work in the Relief Society of the LDS Church. I learned to love people. I always have, but I found that if you really know people, you can love them. She spends a great deal of time knitting. She didnt begin until she was 70. Mrs. Robinson has knit 47 afgans, but really enjoys knitting sweaters because the people appreciate them so much. It not only keeps her busy but makes a lot of people happy, she said. In quiet moments Robinson remembers oyster suppers, sleigh rides, squabbles over horses, or picking some young fellow who didnt have a girl friend and making him drive the sleigh so the other boys could sit in the back with their girls. North. Ideally the grand marshall should be someone who The Robinsons have watched generations of has given a life of service to the community. The children play at the park, located across the street Robinsons have done just that. They have been infrom their 127 North Main Street home. The slide is strumental in the creation of some civic pride. By probably a little higher than the one at the other park doing something for the youth of the village. The parade is just one part of the activities and it is so fun to see the children really frightened at first and then enjoying sliding down again and scheduled for the July 18, Farmington Fiesta Days. Proceeds from the drawings, food and games will go again, said Mrs. Robinson. Children and youth seemed to take up most of toward the city parks fund. Scout Gets Top Honor T.
