TAUGHT LANGUAGES After their marriage, the Fails lived in Pleasant Hills, California, where they both taught school. Fails taught Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Italian and Latin at Diablo Valley College for 32 years. His wife taught English as a second language for 14 years in the Mt. Diablo School District. Insatiable travelers, the Fails took most of their trips during their three-month summer vacations. Their first trips were taken by train and bus, then in the family automobile with their three children. During recent years, they bought an airline pass. FOREIGN COUNTRIES They not only traveled extensively exten-sively outside the United States, but they also systematically traveled throughout America. Fails moved to Orem in 1988, following the death of his wife, and he has continued his travels, visiting visit-ing his family and friends all over the world. Two of his children, Willis and Sally Fails, are members of the faculty at Brigham Young University. Univer-sity. His daughter, Elena Hutchinson, Hutchin-son, lives with her husband, Anthony, An-thony, in Beijing, China, where he is attached to the United States Embassy. Recently, Clark Fails boarded an airplane at Seattle and flew to Tokyo, Japan, where he changed planes for Beijing, People's Republic of China. He took a taxi to the American Embassy where he was escorted into the office of his son-in-law, Anthony Hutchinson. "CONFUCIUS SAYS" Accompanied by his daughter's family, Fails took a train tour of some of the near-by provinces: "On Wednesday we traveled in the van to Qufu, the hometown of the philosopher we know as Confucius, born about 551 B.C. in the state of Lu, now Shantung Province. There Compare Our Prices! 66 countries? is a large museum with graphic portrayals of his life and works. "Not a religious leader, his precepts dealt with morals, the family system, social reform, statecraft; his maxims, still taught as a guide for daily life of people, are of practical value as a utilitarian philosophy. On Thursday our guide Xing took us to a country village. We walked many blocks and were invited in-vited into three homes. The houses were tidy, and although the people were poor, they were not destitute. They were neatly and cleanly dressed. They were friendly, gracious gra-cious and generous. TERRA COTTA WARRIORS On Tuesday, Fails arranged for a trip to Xian, a city of over two million people. Nearby was the exhibit ex-hibit of Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses of Emperor Qin Shi Huang. The emperor had begun construction construc-tion of a mausoleum for himself, but it had not been completed when he died in 210 B.C. at the age of fifty. The first discovery and unearthing unear-thing occurred in 1974, but as late as December 1980, two sets of large colored bronze chariots and horses were unearthed. "The mausoleum and surrounding surround-ing park cover an area of 56.25 square kilometers. Pit No. 1 is now protected by a vast exhibition hall. In this and two other pits there is now a total of more than 100 chariots, about 600 pottery horses and 7,000 pottery figures in addition to a great number of actual weapons. These pits are only a fraction of the hundreds of accessory pits." The train trip back to Beijing took over 22 hours, during which Fails enjoyed viewing the fascinating fascinat-ing countryside and villages. THE GREAT WALL "The ne plus ultra, the most famous and best-known site and sight, was left for the last Saturday of my sojourn in China," says Fails. "Tony drove their van to take the family and me to the Great Wall. Completed in 204 B.C., the wall extends more than 2,000 miles. A defensive wall with towers at intervals, it is 20 to 50 feet high and 15 to 25 feet thick. It was constructed con-structed by 300,000 men, most of whom were criminals." - ' What are the odds of the follow Buy Direct From a Wedding Printer and Save! dhnnso l a . a si WEDDING INVITATIONS Wide Variety of In-House Styles Full Color Picture Invitations Standard Invitations Picture Wedding Invitations (Black and White) Three-Fold Self Mailers or French Fold Double Envelopes Temple Marriage Designs Thank You Cards and Napkins BEST QUALITY Serving Utah Valley Since 1953 Give us a chance to serve you!

As Fails was walking on the Great Wall, an Occidental gentleman spoke to him in French. They had met earlier and conversed on the train from Zian! "After I had returned to the starting point and left the wall a young Chinese woman approached and said: 'I know you.' I did not recognize her with her dark glasses, glas-ses, but when she removed them I immediately said: 'Chin Miao!' "Yes, she was my guide in Zian--hundreds of miles away, one of well over a billion Chinese, several days later, meeting at the same spot at the same moment!" CHINESE ARTIST Fails described an another unexpected un-expected experience: "At some points the wall is a steep incline and at others it is steps. As I was huffing and puffing, two Chinese fellows took my arms to assist me. When we reached the next crest and rest area, Yin Dong Quan opened up a large tablet which he was carrying and said the he would like to make a portrait of me. "He very quickly did so a charcoal char-coal sketch 15 12 x 20 inches. I now have it framed, hanging in my entry hall. I have since received two letters from the artist who has been awarded a scholarship at a university univer-sity in Kansas. On his route home from China, Fails stopped in Yokohama, Japan, to renew an acquaintance he had known for nearly 60 years: "Nakamura Katsumi was waiting for me. He and I first corresponded in the early '30s. Contact was cut off, of course, during World War II, but resumed and continued thereafter." RETURNED HOME After sightseeing and visiting with friends in Japan, Fails flew back to Seattle and returned home to Orem. Trips to New Orleans and Bath, Maine, completed Clark Fails' travel itinerary for 1990, but he is already looking forward to be heading out again at any time. A lifetime of travel is a habit that Clark Fails would find it difficult dif-ficult to break. With a valuable collection col-lection of paper currency he has acquired in 66 different countries, there are still a few countries he has yet to visit. Which one will be next?
