Show Pelican Lake disaster Dear Editor: Open letter to all those wonderful people peo-ple who helped us in our time of need. Your help pulled three of us from an upside-down boat in Pelican Lake. Although Betty and I lost our son, Shayne's mother and dad have a son to raise. What a wonderful blessing! Our daughters Laura (15) and Lisa (13) have a mother and dad to help them until un-til they reach adulthood and can raise families of their own. The Lord only knows what would have happened to those young girls if we had been lost too! The prompt efficient help from the ambulance crew and the hospital personnel per-sonnel saved a mother, my wife Betty, who was more dead than alive after the accident. Our heartfelt thanks ! The many long wearisome hours spent by all the people searching for Mike's body helped us end an endless nightmare of waiting that seemed to drag on forever. Thanks Sheriff Stewart, your Search and Rescue Teams and others who took part. Mike's funeral was held Monday, June 2 at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Ogden, Utah. Thanks for your support and helping hands. May God bless all of you. ' KEITH E. BAWDON |
