As near as the girls can remember, that is how it all began. OF COURSE they had exchanged photos over the vears, but neither was sure - their pen pal had sent a true picture of themselves or if ti k ks had been played there is always that possibility" -ou know.

Both girls were impressed with one another arid have spent a full week getting more acquainted and just having fun and sightseeing DEBBIE Debbie C L is taking all around the community as w'ell as places of interest in Ogden and Salt Lake City. This friendship started back in 1967 when a fellow from Michigan came to Utah for a visit and spent time in Kaysville. While in Kaysville he was asked to give a talk in the third grade class of the Kaysville Elementary School. After he returned to Michigan, the third grade teacher had each of the children write him a thank you note. After he received this bundle of mail and was so pleased with the response of the children, he having a sister who was a third grade teacher there, decided to turn the letters over to her class and they each wrote an answer to the children in Kaysville again. DEBBIE Casperson was a member of the third grade class in Michigan, so she quickly picked Debbie Lords t Department of Housing and Urban Development. The second phase will be financed totally by the city at a cost of $7,200, he said. Plans call for completion of that phase before July 1, 1979. Work began on phase one in August of 1977. THE COUNCIL was told that completion of that second portion could be hard to determine, largely due to noise levels generated by Hill Air Force Base that could possibly impact or restrict building in certain areas. Ken Millard of Millard Consultants said, "Noise is our biggest problem and I think findings are still in conclusive There are some issues raised that must be addressed, If we followed some of the recommendations already made well make mistakes and if we dont, we may make more." "UNTIL WE can get a resolution on the noise impact Im not sure how well finish," he said. Such problems as whether an area can be zoned high or low density building must be final resolved before conclusions can be drawn. Work sessions and meetings could be held with principal landowners, he said. Input from residents has been sought in compiling the new plan, Mr. Scoffield said. "We broke the city down into three general areas and sent notices of meetings door to door. Meetings were held in the National Guard Armory and we had several hundred involved. We asked them to respond to what they wanted to see in the community and asked for their participation and a lot of them responded.
