Someday, Some-day, I'd like to become a judge, though I don't suppose that will materialize." "My family is very important im-portant to me. My wife, Laurel, and I are parents of four sons, Richard 12, Brett 10, Von 6, Daryl 2, and this year we are privileged priv-ileged to have two Navajo foster daughters, Pauline and Melissa. Through the years we've had six foster children. We've learned so much from them and realize their families are sacrificing a great deal to let them come. We love them and miss them when they return home." "My philosophy is that parents need to spend time with their children. Parenthood Par-enthood is a high calling and carries a lot of responsibility re-sponsibility with it. My youngest son and I often go walking together. He loves to hear the birds sing. We stop and talkto the sheep and cows along the way and have some wonderful conversations ourselves. I've played a little golf with my older children. I met Howard Pryor on the course one day and asked him what was par for the course. He told me it was 34. I must be doing pretty well then, I said, I've played three holes and my score is 34! It's a welcome change, a pleasant experience and we don't worry about the score." "I like to keep up on political po-litical affairs and am active ac-tive in our church teaching teach-ing the adult class in Sunday Sun-day School. I'm often asked to speak to scout groups, etc. I tell them that, yes, other senses can be developed de-veloped out of necessity, but no matter what else you learn, it does NOT make up for whatever disability r ! ! JOHN CHRISTIANSEN ATTORNEY you have. Life is harder for the disabled person. He misses what he hasn't got as long as he lives, but we take life as it comes and try to enjoy it. The point I want them to remember remem-ber is to take care of and APPRECIATE theirwonder-ful theirwonder-ful bodies." 1 "I'm a moralist by nature, na-ture, which is handy in a business where I must go by rules and regulations. I'm convinced that sophis-tocated sophis-tocated systems are not the answer to our problems. Individual integrity and morality is what is needed. need-ed. Corrupt people cannot operate any system successfully. suc-cessfully. That's our chal lenge. If everyone lived with integrity and was honest hon-est in his home and business busi-ness dealings, I'd be out of a job, but I wouldn't mind it a bit in fact, I'd welcome wel-come it!"

School for the Blind. The rtah. baby got sick, we had car leak trouble and I had to be up. away from the family.

Later we had pass a different housemother who now wis very understanding and in tried to make life as pleas -(See wt for us as possible." r t "I've always loved music and at school I learned to play the piano, clarinet and trombone. As I said, parents par-ents did sacrifice for their children. Mother saw that we had a piano so we all could learn and enjoy music. When my sister needed a. new dress for graduation, It took the whole cream check, but she got it." "I spent 8 years in Og-den Og-den coming home only for Christmas and summer holidays. holi-days. We learned so much, and found that we had to develop our other senses touch, hearing , etc., but anyone can learn to do that if they really try. Ifinish-ed Ifinish-ed school at Beaver High, then went on to BYU for two years. It was war time and there were 1100 girls to 200 boys. I was chosen President of our Sophomore class. It was a happy time." "I wanted to go into Law, but the Y had no Law School at that time, so I transferred trans-ferred to the University of Utah. It was really hard and I had to put forth all the' effort I could. I had readers who read for me, and I had to be very dil-ligent dil-ligent in class lectures, etc. There were no textbooks text-books in braille. I graduated grad-uated from Law School in 1949, and was admitted to the Bar in 1950, became Beaver County's Attorney in 1951 and have held that position posi-tion ever since." "The Law business is a hard one. I work mostly with Criminal Law. As I represent the public I have to do what is best for all concerned and try to correct cor-rect the problems.
