One such father, a man named Harold, recently sent me a letter he had w ritten to his daughter on the eve of her wedding. And, as a public service, I am paraphrasing his musings for all Davis County fathers awaiting a similar Spring ordeal: . Dear Daughter. . Its growth never stopped By DONETA GATHERUM - . TRADITIONALLY, the role of the father of the bride is scrupulously consisting largely of signing the checks, comforting his wife when she emits tears and then retreating into obscurity for the balance of the event. These are modest chores, and I will do my best to perform them. Only you and I w ill know, since absolutely nobody looks at the father of the bride, any how. There is a lesser paternal tradition of offering a few final w ords of unsought advice to the bride, routinely disregarded by all those to whom it is extended. Polite daughters accept it without actively snorting, since Daddy will be paying the price of the reception. SO INSTEAD of testing your boredom, I am sticking to the jollier side of offeiijio you some thoughts as to the most appropriate gifts.

As a youth 20 years ago, my father worked at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. All around our school and community environment, the space program and being an astronaut dominated our lives. It was while 1 played Little League baseball in Houston that I met the son of Virgil Gus Grissom, one of Americas original seven astronauts. His son, and the son of astronaut Ed White, became acquaintances of my family, as we shared the thrills of Little League together. TWO YEARS later, after I had moved back to my native California, came the word that both Grissom and White, along with Roger Chaffee, had died in a flash fire aboard their Apollo spacecraft 1 - LAYTON Guest speaker at the February6 Layton Chamber of Commerce luncheon will be Diane Brewster-Normapresident and chief executive officer of the St. Benedict's Health System Foundation.

Ill ITT MY FIRST thought last Tuesday was to rush out into the community, to get views from some of you as to what had happened. But I knew that our real feelings, our real thoughts on this tragedy would only become clearer to us as we began to absorb and reflect on w hat had happened. I felt more shock the day after than on Tuesday. No one understands why the Challenger exploded last Tuesday, why seven mothers, fathers, sons and daughters died. But hopefully, we can all understand why they made that trip, and w hy we need to keep reaching for the stars. MANKIND has always reached for higher goals. It's what separates us from the other species. We reach, and sometimes we fall short, but at least we've tried. There will be sonic who will now say it's time to halt the space program, or back it down. Those same criticisms have rung through the halls of NASA since the Mercury program first put Americans in orbit. It continued with Gemini, from USU in family and human development w ith an emphasis in early childhood and an Ed. D. degree Irom the University of Noithcm Colorado. In 1975 she was appointed direcIV Giant, a project tor of Title funded by the U.S. Department of Health. Education and Wclf.uc.

It may only be through space exploration that this planet can find ways to survive. The brave men and women who have had the guts, the strength and the knowledge to break free from the prisons of gravity, have done so to benefit all of us. To stop that now would be to tarnish the cause for which those seven died eight days ago. In 1967, when the Apollo I fire first touched the nation, I remember the words of CBS newsman BUT FOR those and commentator Eric Severeid when he eulogized those three astronauts. He praised them for their courage, for their desire to serve fellow man through space exploration. and he said of their examples that they were men to which we all can aspire." SO IT is now with the Challenger Seven. So it will always be with men and women who reach for a better tomorrow for us all. God Bless them.
