For about five years Virge has been carrying the blueprints around in his pocket (so it seemed) showing them and explaining his ideas to anyone who would listen. Most people would think a professional ball park for a small community would be an impossible dream, but because of Virges determination and patience this new park is now a reality. The park is approximately two acres of lawn w'ith an underground sprinkling system and a lighting system. You would think this would be enough, but Virge isnt finished yet. We hear he has been out looking for some way to asphalt the parking area. Again thank you Virge. Radio.

Whitaker retires at the end of this school year from his bus driving position. Willard was born in Hatton, Utah on June 16, 1912, to Herman Ellis and Marian Sagers Whitaker. His father often remarked that Willards hair was so light in color because everything was white with frost the morning he was born. There are eight children in his family, four boys and four girls, who are all still living and very active in the Church. His 86 year old father lives in Bountiful, Utah. Willard has always known hard work. He raised turkeys and felt rich enough to order himself a new car, but the Lord had other plans for him and called him on a mission in 1936 to Texas, so Willard had to cancel the order. He was able to support himself for two years in the mission field.
