Send us your letters to the editor: editor@spforknews.com Letter to the Editor How come? How come the gir] athletes at SFHS are called Lady Dons? That seems to create a gender confusion, because a Don is a Spanish gentleman. It's the title prefixed to a man's Christian name. Couldn't they be called the Scnoritas or the Donettes, because a Don ain't no lady. Anyway, congratulations to the girls for their outstanding performance in the various sports this year. How come the bull fighting matadors always wear pink stockings with their fancy outfits? How come people keep putting yard sale signs on city poles when there is an ordinance against it? How come somebody doesn't build a grocery store and service station in the south end of town? Last but not least: How come the price of gas is higher in Spanish Fork, than in the neighboring town? How come I'm asking these questions? Just curious. C.C. Berrett Spanish Fork Correction Crandalls article sentence should diving. Notice that I was safe and, more importantly, clean. He groped for a few minutes more and then - "eureka" - he found them. I think the lady would have hugged him, except for the goo covering his hands and arms. I found out later that Mark, after his successful fishing expedition, went back to the store, scrubbed his hands thoroughly, and quietly went back to work. He never said a word about it. That's customer service. It was neither expected nor requested. Mark simply saw someone with a need, and heedless of his own comfort, he threw off the grate and started digging. He wanted to diffuse the situation and make the woman as comfortable as possible - so he mucked. He didn't complain. He didn't tell her to call AAA. He took • care of her, and in doing so, made a customer very happy and not so embarrassed. There are a lot of people who may have done what he did. But the thing that makes Mark Holdaway so special is that he didn't toot his horn. He didn't run in and say, "Guess what?" He simply cleaned up and went back to helping his customers. That's customer service. That's going beyond the mark. Locating the Class of 1977 The Spanish Fork High School Class of 1977 is trying to locate the following class members.

Ottesen I Fork, we used to have a store called Dixon-TaylorRussell or DTR for short. It was located in the building on the west side of Main Street where Annie's Photo Shop used to be and before that it was Alleman Floral. I used to work in the old Bank of Spanish Fork which is the black shiny building right next door to the north. This store carried all kinds of appliances and it also had Noritake China and Duncan crystal. I used to go in there on my lunch hour from the bank and look at all the beautiful dishes, plates, glasses, vases, etc. Now, this was back in the days when a girl treasured gathering "trousseau" for the big day — her wedding day. From about the age of 16, a girl would start getting things on her birthday or for Christmas that would add to her trousseau. Things like quilts, embroidered dish towels, beautiful sets of pillow cases with sheets to match. The pillow cases were embroidered with beautiful flowers and lots of times with eyelet edging on both the pillow cases and the See CLEANING* A3 |
