Show AUGUST 3,2006 by Earl Roe wearlroe@yahoo.com • 676-2376 With all of the class reunions and family reunions scheduled around our Pioneer Days celebration, Panguitch was teeming with former residents mingling with the many 'just plain visitors'. Evidently this 'reunion fever' is contagious because our children decided we needed to have an Earl Roe reunion this year sometime after the 24th celebration was over. We made arrangements with Art Evans to spend a few days at his Little Creek Lodge which had been recommended to us by some friends who had held family reunions there. Since we did not need a weekend, we Were able to reserve some days in early August. Although I had never been to the lodge, I had seen itfromthe top of Cady Creek peak during my hunting days with the "Kon's Ranch Group". (The days of lots of deer and few hunters.) Art told us the Bear Valley road to his place would be the way to go from Panguitch and the road was in good condition so a couple of weeks ago Evalyn & I took the Bear Valley route and met our daughter and grandson, Barbara & Aaron Lewis, who traveled the Paragona route from Cedar City to the lodge. Both distances are almost identical but there is a little more dirt road through-Bear Valley. Evalyn and I were amazed when we went through the lodge and are very pleased that we can get together there. Art and his wife, Hazel Dawn (Daly) Evans (Evalyn's 1st cousin) met us there and showed us what we needed to know and do to make our stay fun and enjoyable. Barbara and Aaron were so excited they wanted to spend the night there even with no food. Norma Talbot's children decided to surprise her with a second 90th Birthday Party. Her birthday was last November and the weather was so cold that a number of her children and their families could not attend so they decided at that time to have another party honoring her when the weather would be better so they decided to hold it during our Pioneer Day's celebration. This time the weather cooperated (it usually rains on our parade) and all of her children, Norma Jean Bundy, Louise Tait, Kenneth Hoesch, Tom Talbot, Arthur Talbot, and Roma Wilcock and most, if not all, of her grandchildren & great grandchildren were here in time to prepare a float for the parade. (I'm sure you noticed it as it was one of the longest and* had over 80 people riding on it with Page 4 THE GARFIELD COUNTY INSIDER Norma sitting in the middle waving and smiling at the spectators. (Norma's 6 children have presented her with 37 grandchildren, 83 greatgrandchildren, and 5 great, great grandchildren.) Following the Parade they gathered at the 2nd/3rd Ward chapel where they were joined by Fern Slade and her 4 children; Janice & Kay Bunson; and Pauline & Merle Prince for some more visiting, a lovely program and an abundance of good food. Norma said everyone had a most enjoyable time and this second birthday party more than compensated for the one that was spoiled by the bad weather on her real birthday. Evalyn & I had her sister, Barbara Willies, spend 3 nights with us over the 24th weekend. Barbara belongs to a group of women that make an annual visit to Cedar City to see all of the plays and attend most of the workshops. They arrange for tickets and lodging (on campus) months ahead and always near July 24th so that Barbara can stay with us for the 24th events, class reunions, etc., and her brother's (Monte Marshall) birthday on July 24th. Another brother and his wife, Don and Jean Marshall, also visited Panguitch at this time so Barbara knew she had a way back to Orem. We wanted her to stay longer and told her that if we could not find her a ride we would take her The 2006 John Crosby family reunion was held at the Art and Beverly Crosby home here in Panguitch. There were eight boys in the Crosby family: Silas, Jay, Dee, Elliise, Art (Class of'40), Tom, Theron, &Gordon. (Their 1 st child, a girl died at birth). Of the eight, Ellise, Art & Tom are the only ones living today. The only ones not represented at the reunion were Ellise and Dee; however, the progeny of the six families represented numbered 184 and Beverly said there were tents and trailers scattered all over their lot. Their neighbors to the South even let them use their lawn. (Typical Panguitch neighbor!) Their daughter, Kathy, was unable to make the trip again this year due to her illness, but all of her children were present. Bev said that everyone had a wonderful time and she asked me to mention that seven of the members brought their dogs which made things a little more lively. (A point of interest!) I have often heard their mother make the following statement when asked how'she managed to raise eight boys without girls to help her: ("I wouldn't trade one of these boys for two girls when it comes to helping around the house!'1 Larry Barney recently spent several days in Salt Lake with his brother, Lannon, while Lannon underwent multiple by-pass heart surgery. Larry said that Lannon was getting better each day. Kris Barney (Larry's & Dawna's son) brought his two sons, Karston & Kolben, to spend a week here visiting with his parents and his two brothers, Curtis and Clint and their families. Mom stayed home in Colorado Springs getting prepared for the opening of her college classes. Ronald Perkins (West Valley City) spent a few days here visiting his mother, Mary Perkins, who is in our long term care center. I'm sure he did a lot of other visiting because he has many relatives and friends here in Panguitch. I was sure I would get more reports on the class reunions that took place over the last weekend, but so far I have only two to report. The Class of 1965 held their forty one year reunion at the home of Lamont and Linda (Bardwell) Olsen. There were forty two classmates and spouses in attendance and all had an enjoyable afternoon enjoying lunch, getting reacquainted and catching up on what has been happening in everyone's lives. This is one of the reunions I "crashed" to get some information and I surprised many of them by remembering their names as they were recorded in my roll book. I enjoy meeting any and all of my former students, but some are more enjoyable due to things that occurred in the classroom. I was especially pleased to meet the Middleton twins, Vick and Val. I could never tell them apart in class (I couldn't at the reunion either) so I always had them sit on opposite sides of the room and would look at the one I wanted to speak with and remark, "Vick or Val". Even then I Wasn't sure the right one always answered. (I suspected they often switched seats.) I had a personal invitation to attend the other reunion, the Class of 1975, and enjoyed dining with them at the Flying 'M' restaurant. Opal Miller's daughter, Allison (I can't recall her married name) was one of the promoters of this reunion and a week or so before the date she came to see me and asked for a picture of me taken during my teaching years. She took the picture and also one of Evalyn and I taken during the same time frame. Her next request was that I take twenty or thirty minutes recounting some of the interesting occurrences in the classroom. I told her that this would be easy, but someone would have to tell me when my time was up (which they didn't do). After I had run out of stories and they quit asking questions, Allison presented us with a unique gift that brought a tear to my eye and a lump in my throat. Needless to say, I enjoyed meeting with some of my former students and their spouses. I call occasions like this 'bonus pay' for all of my teaching years. Reunions are FUN!
