MOST INSURANCE PLANS ACCEPTED Loretta graduated from Evans Beauty College at Cedar City on Oct. 1. She took state boards Oct. 3, passing with flying colors. She had a years credits in CEUs cosmetology department over 10 years ago. The Evans College accepted them. She started back to college in January 1988. In fact, the whole family was uprooted and transplanted temporarily at Cedar in March. Ralph already had three years college geared to an accounting degree, but he decided to become an elementary teacher with minors in mathematics and business education. The first day at school he wondered if he ought to chuck the keyboard class and forget it. It had been 18 years since he was in a type class, and he wasnt sure he could do even 40 words per minute. When he voiced his concerns to the teacher, she said simply, You handed in your work, didnt you? Then stick it out. He stuck it out although so busy he sometimes enlisted the children to help him with his part-tim- e job at the Centrum, the college athletic center. During the elementary block program he spent a week each at Cedar, Salt Lake and Tuba City elementaries. At Tuba City he taught a seventh grader, not uncommon in Indian schools. During student teaching he enjoyed teaching a drug unit to 92 fifth graders for five weeks. He brought in resource people to impress the children and used his own eperiences as EMT. He made the honor roll four The Ralph and Loretta Worthen family Is happy to be in business in Ferron. times out of the six quarters at Scholarships and aid from Job Partnership program and family help pulled them through. The times were lean. The children, Jarom, 12; AnSUSC. thony, 11; Andrea, 9; and Dustin, 8, missed their friends and small-tow- n security. Andrea won an award for a poster saying candy is better than drugs. Andrea makes lots of touchdowns on the neighborhood football team on which her brothers also excel. Ferron is hometown to the Worthen children and their dad, too, although he was bom in Price and lived in Kenilworth until he was 11 months old. His parents, Clive and Glenda Neilsen Worthen brought Paul, Kathlyne, Tanie and Ralph to Ferron in 1952. Ralph was bom May 13, 1951. He remembers walking to the family farm near Clawson and herding sheep. As a reward they checked into the Clawson store forapopsicle. When Ralph was four he put his thumb in the blades of a lawn mower. It was hanging by the skin. Doctor Thurman sewed it on an eighth of a turn crooked, saying it wouldnt grow back anyway. It did, though the nail catches on everything. At South Emery Junior High he wrestled and ran track. At Emery High he played varsity football. After graduation he attended SUSC a year, filled a mission to Montana, Wyoming, returned to Cedar for another year, took the third year at USU and got a job in the coal mine just for the summer. It was big money at $5 an hour. He started as a general laborer, then roof bolter, shuttle car operator and on up to a boss at $31,000 a year. He enjoyed coal mining, but in 1982 nine years later he was laid off, had a wife and four children, a house and car payment. He worked for Robert Killpack, for Johansen and Tuttle as inspector and on the Loretta Worthen styles the hair of Eric Robinson at her new shop In Ferron. county weed and mesquito and for the engineering firm again. He was laid off the day of the mine fire Dec. 19, 1984. The fire claimed the life of Lynn Robinson, husband of kid sister Elizabeth Ann. But after a short layoff he was called back to Johansen and Tuttle and worked a full year. Then the layoff again. He was thinking more and more that he should return to school. That time Loretta and I were at the temple when I received a revelation to return to school. I called back to work. We debated and we prayed. We called a family council. We decided it would be better to go as a family. They found an apartment and moved in. Loretta found a part-tim- e job as a sauce outlet. It mixer at a was the first job she had ever had. In January 1988 after receiving a scholarship from the Indian Tribal Council, she was able to finish what she had started years before.
