The Patrol Flag Contest was won by troop 395. In order to participate the cub scouts had to leave by 4 a.m. Friday and didn't get home until 3 a.m. Saturday.

SENIOR CITIZEN OF THE WEEK . ; Our gal is about to get up and really go, to Arizona, that is. Evelyn Roundy will continue to be on the go iHfore movingon Friday. So keep looking. and you may just catch her at the senior citizens center, the museum, having breakfast or lunch with her many friends, or just laughing and enjoying a conversation with her friends. Evelyn was born in 1933 in Salisbury. N H the youngest of six children. She married Clarence R. Braley. Later she married LaMar Roundy. who passed aw ay in 19SS. She has four children. 11 grandchildren and five great grandchildren I ler "adi i)t(Hl" children are countless. Since Evelyn told us that she was mming to Arizona to live with her son. go-g- o ' j j j 1 J Dave, the parties begun. Not because she is leaving, but because she is dear to everyone and a friend to everyone. It doesn't matter if she goes, because people want to show her the love and resjH'ct that we all have for her. (She jokingly says there w ill lx a huge party on Saturday) Evelyn is involved in everything. She is in the American Legion and Historical Society. She is an absolute delight at the senior citizens center, whether it is working on a jig saw puzzle, w orking on the computer, playing the piano or bingo or making that piano stand up and play. If she isn't ai the center, try the museums, where she not but leanusl everything that she could whether it !c the new museum or only-worked- , the pioneer museum (her personal fa- vorite). Evelyn was among a group that took classes this year at the College of Eastern Utah to learn more about archeology and was disappointed when she couldn't complete an outing due to health problems. Giving is just part of her nature and a smile gix7s right along w ith it. Evelyn never forgets the people in the nursing home. She loves joining in for coffee at the Eorron Cafe. You often hear her talk about the library book she just finished as she asks you if you have road yet another book by a different author. Although we all understand the mxvssity of Evelyn moving to Arizona and although we all know nlxiut Dave's generous offer, it Mill is difficult to let her Evelyn Roundy move. Evelyn, good luck and tell Dave that you need to email your friends. |
