The interest is there because many people, like Norman, have their roots in Vernal and the temple is unique, Mary Lou Burgoyne said. It's the only one of its kind, she said. Volunteers to run the ticket office had to he recruited and there is no short supply. Volunteers range in age from early 20s to late 80s. They travel as far as Rock Springs, Wyo., and Grand Junction, Colo., to spend time on the telephone taking calls for tickets from people along the Wasatch Front as well as people from Nevada and Arizona, Charles Burgoyne said. Those who want tickets call in at one center and talk to one of 12 volunteers. The volunteers ask the callers what times and days are best for them and then using arrow keys and the enter key they fill up the time slots available, Charles Burgoyne said. Most the Saturday slots are already filled, but there are many slots still available on weekdays, he said. Many of the volunteers have never worked on a computer before but are learning quickly, Mary Lou Burgoyne said. With the help of Ralph and Sharon Olson of Bountiful, she has trained most of the volunteers. Other volunteers are mailing the tickets out as fast as they can, she said.

Disturbing her slumber is acceptable; just don't tell her the night is over and she has to get out of bed. Lor Charles, matters of sleep are pure business, and no one had better interfere while he's on the job. Charles sleeps in the basement because of our "rowdy neighbor. 1 1 is crime: he routinely used the light over his stove as a night-ligh- t.

Any light, and Charles struggles to stay asleep. A lit clock dial is for him the kiss of death. Charles gives to bed every night worrying about dreaded insomnia, then falls immediately into a deep slumber. If awakened midsleep, he is irrational and inconsolable, but in the morning, even at 6 a.m. he is cheerful and alert. My daughter, on the other hand, cannot be cheerful at reveille.
