But they are proud of him, for, as sure as there is a Heaven above, they know him for his goodness, his dependability, honesty and all the traits that make him the fine gentleman that he is. Jack , as he is affectionately known, was borninPlacer-vill- e, Colorado and received the name of John Wainwright Learning. His father was Jonathan Tripler Learning and his mother was Gladys Merling Learning. The little family moved to Moab, Utah, where Jacks two younger brothers were born. George A.

She was a typical giggly, happy girl. Her daughter, Ann, relates that her mother told her she laughed every night one summer at the same time, during the same song, while she and her friends were performing for the tourists. When she moved away from Moab with her family, Jack was very sad. His father told him if he would help put the sprinkling system in the lawn, he would , let him take the family car and go to Panguitch and see Helen. 1 worked hard to earn this and that summer, he and four of his friends spent a week at the Folster home, having such a good time. Each morning, Helens mom would fill a lunch basket and they would take off for the parks, Bryce Canyon, Cedar Breaks, Zions and Panguitch Lake and would return to Helens at night to a delicious dinner. That was one summer that Helen and her Maxine, will never jack trip sister, forget. Helen attended and graduated from Henagers Business College and lived in the Bee Hive House in Salt Lake.
