Loyette Sten-quiMyerhoff in real life displays the organizational gift she portrayed playing Milly, the lead role in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. As Milly she found her groom kept mum about the six brothers who shared the household. Six Bless st uncouth, mangy looking, bearded chaps, all itch and empty bellies, they threatened to work her to shreds. Subtly she encouraged them to polish themselves into acceptable swains for village maidens. The hilarious situations were marred by macho hubby, Adam, irate at her managing pouting atop a mountain until hearing he has a daughter. He was back in time to witness the six marriages. :THEATERSTi: Theater Hotline 5 New Movies start Fridays X scaietiRB JANE FONDA & " & 9:00 Fri., Sat., Sun. 7 pm LITTLE MERMAID 9 pm Steven Segal in HARD CROWN cos- & Sat.

Blake Webster and JoAnn Arnold solved the headaches and were patient. The accompanists were marvelous and enduring. I keep remembering the thrill that starts at the toes and travels on up when the curtain parts. Loyette recalls with a giggle how the brothers wearied of toting the damsels over the shoulders and would be literally dragging them along on the floor at the end of rehearsals. Jl (R) Besides being wife, mother, assistant town librarian, Relief Society president and on call to sing or accompany, she has said yes to being the chairman of the Huntington heritage program on July 4. In past years the focus has been on patriotism, local, state and national levels. Loyette will acknowledge the local heritage but patriotism to country she must stress because she loves America so much. My country means so much to me, she said. Living, in Germany from age 8 to 12 years taught her appreciation for life and liberty as we enjoy it. She enjoyed being an Air Force brat because she made so many new friends, learned so much history and geography, foreign language and culture moving about the country every two years. As I remember, saying goodbye to friends was the hardest part, knowing I would never see them again. Yet the experience made it easier to make new friends. I had to do it so often. It was a good life, rewarding. I enjoyed my life in the Air Force. Loyette was born Aug. 9, 1952, at Belleville, 111., to David Edwin and Marjorie Laverne Edberhrt Stenquist. David, a Tremonton native, took a St. Louis, Mo., girl as his wife and mother of his five children. His career as an Air Force pilot kept the family on the move. Vermont, Georgia, Illinois, Flordia, Kansas, Utah. He taught military air science at BYU for a time. 687-927- 5 The arts were embraced in the Stenquist home. The children were taken to operas, ballet, plays and other cultural events. If musical notes could affixed to the walls and ceiling, their home would have been plastered. Loyette studied piano and song, wrote poems, essays andj, stories. Huntington Canyon springs and creek the Joes Valley Project supply water for Huntington, Cleveland and Elmo and in the event of need, the water treatment plant can be used to keep the towns and outlying areas supplied.

The piano remained in Utah and her lessons were on hold for while. David went to Norway on TDY assignment and was killed. His body was flown home and interred in a family plot at Tremonton. Maijorie decided to rear the children in Kaysville, the site she and David had agreed would be home after service. Davids brother, Bruce, 21, had returned a month early from his mission to attend the funeral. He was helping the family relocate. He was driving the station wagon with all aboard when he fell asleep and the car rolled. The tragic accident at Rock Spring, Wyo., cost his life.

Loyette decided on Snow College for the first two years. For her junior year she transferred to USU. She met Bruce Myerhoff, the father of their college family. And I guess I became the mother. They were married Feb. 8, 1974. Bruce had graduated from college and was working in Salt Lake City. Loyette attended until being within five hours of getting a degree in English. However, Jason was announcing his presence and his mom was too sick to care. The Myerhoffs moved to Huntington when the redheaded son was 6 months old. Bruce works at Cottonwood mine. He is clever at many skills, from carpentry to auto mechanics. Their greatest treasures are their children, Jason, 15, Heather, 13, Bryce, 10, and Holli, 4. Both boys sport the auburn hair inherited from the Stenquist side of the family. Loyette prizes the Dresden doll she brought back from Germany and the imposing nutcracker. The doll, made of clay, exquisitely painted and dressed, is kept in a display case. Such a doll is heirloom quality. The Hummel figurines are also prizes, although not to the degree of the doll and nutcracker. Since mom never remarried, the children have been deprived of a maternal grand- father, but their maternal sated as much as possible. She is an example of courage and triumphed over emotional and physical problems. For years when the children were small, Maijorie suffered from symptoms the doctors could not pinpoint. Her head and arms and legs would swell to such proportions she had to keep larger size clothing. Irritability and mood changes marrred her life. When the medics discovered the pituitary tumor and treated it, life for her and the family improved. Loyette remembers when mom came home from surgery, how she kept the. home quiet so mom could lie, rest and heal. The pituitary gland is a peanut-size- d organ situated just beneath the brain. It produces hormones regulating the bodys growth, development and everyday functioning. A pituitary gland disorder can result in a disease called acromegaly in which the hands, feet, head and neck enlarge. Majorie is now in an LDS mission. editorial, daseilted advertising, or close.
