Show Volume V, Issue IX THE OGDEN VALLEY NEWS Page 5 February 15, 2002 RESIDENTS cont. from page 4 summers ago. Grad students aren’t known for being early risers! But the whole experience was well worth the early morning.” Linda said they played “Chariots of Fire” in the Olympic van as they dropped the runners off at their various starting places. Her father bought her torch, which she also carried to her last check-up at the hospital, thanking everyone who helped her through her battle with cancer. Royce Dye, also of Huntsville, had to be up at 2:00 a.m. to be at his collection point at 4:30 a.m. in Provo. His wife Delores Taylor, his co-workers, and peers nominated Royce because of his positive attitude that helps to motivate others. Royce works for Delta Airlines, training people who work in Reservations and at the City Ticket Office. He was a Delta volunteer when the Swiss airline crashed. He went to Denver, Colorado and assisted the families of the deceased. He and a few of his co-worker were there for two weeks, and acquired the name of the “Delta Angels” from the people they helped. Royce is enjoying his Olympic experiences. He is also a volunteer at Snowbasin in the Human Resource Department where he checks in other volunteers. “There are many volunteers working very hard,” Dye stated. The theme of this year’s Olympics, “light the fire within” has meaning to Royce. Royce met 15 other runners at his collection point where the first torch was lit by the original Olympic torch from Athens. After 40 minutes of instructions, stories of the torch, and how it is symbolic of lighting the torch within each of us, and a group picture, the 15 runners began their journey of a lifetime. The van could barely makes its way down the streets to the yellow dots marking the places on the road for each runner to be dropped off. This was the first time Royce noticed the huge crowds lining the streets for miles, waiting in anticipation. This is when he realized how important this tradition was to other people. These runners would run three miles on Provo’s streets. The first runner started his run at 6:00 a.m. Royce was number ten. At 6:21 a.m., as he stepped off the van with his personal torch in hand, the manager yelled something like, “Ladies and Gentleman, your next torchbearer of the Olympic flame is Royce Dye!” Someone appeared at his side with a key, which he inserted in Dye’s torch, turning on the fuel canister. Then 30 seconds later, the flames jumped from the previous runner’s torch to his. Surrounded by 15 police on motorcycles with flashing lights, he started his run close behind the media van. He said he felt like he was “floating on air.” “This is the first time I have ever experience anything like that.” A quarter of a mile later he lit the next torch. “It happened way too fast.” Dye recalled. Royce’s closing statement was, “The fact of carrying the torch was an honor, but the crowd was really there to honor the Olympic flame itself, or to honor the Olympic spirit, and the people loved it! I want to give credit to my wife and family who were there to support me like always.” WE’VE GOT OGDEN LAMAR BOTT Broker 430-2688 VALLEY COVERED HOMES CONDOS LAND LOTS COMMERCIAL WHEN EXPERIENCE COUNTS OVER 60 YEARS COMBINED SALES DEBORAH HEGG Associate Broker HOMES WITH ACREAGE SMALL WORKING HORSE RANCH 4.90 acres - Classic restored barn. 5 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, formal dining, 2 family rooms, “hard-to-find” property.
