Show Page 9 by Earl Roe wearlroe@yahoo.com * 676-2376 Much of this Knothole will be old news to many of our readers as it has been in other papers but many of our former residents and even visitors have told me that they would like to receive it as they have a interest in what is happening in Panguitch. An example is Mr. Bailey who I wrote about last week. I try to keep them informed by sending them the Knothole after I have sent it to Mr. Davis, our Insider Editor. I have had many email messages from these readers telling me how much they enjoy reading, what is going on here and what has happened to friends that are still here. The Knothole is an easy way for me to keep in touch with former residents and visitors, costs nothing, and I hope it is good for our community. I would like to hear from any of our readers that were students of Mr. Bailey during the year he taught in our High School.(1943/44) He has many fond memories of Panguitch and our High School. Another sore point that I would like to put a band aid on is that most of my news is about Roe family members and their progeny. If this seems to be true than it is your fault because I write everything I receive into the Knothole and my family members always keep me informed as to what is taking place in their own family. I do have two or three faithful contributors and several who occasionally send me information they would like to share with our readers so if you want to see some of your activities in print, please let me know. Being a cold weather person I hate to think that cold weather is the reason for so many deaths among our older residents and former residents but it seems that we have more deaths when we have our coldest weather. It saddened me when I heard that Keith Henrie had passed away. I am glad that Evalyn and I stopped to visit with he and Rosamond when we were on our way home from Provo. We made it a point to stop and see them whenever we were passing through Richfield. Rosamond worked for Evalyn's father in the drug store for so many years that she was almost like one of the family. Another former resident passed away a few weeks ago and I failed to get it in the Knothole. Marba (Haycock) Sandberg (Cedar City), a daughter of Bernard and FEBRUARY 1,2007 T H E GARFIELD COUNTY INSIDER Elma (Judd) Haycock still has many of her former school day friends living in Panguitch. She married James Sandberg (Alhligh School Sweetheart) soon after they graduated from High School and moved to Cedar City. Evalyn and I visited with James last Monday while I was there for a dental appointment and he is bearing up quite well according to his words. My sister called to let me know that there had been some illness and medical treatments going on in her family. Richard Davis (Phoenix) recently underwent a quadruple heart by-pass and is still in intensive care in a Phoenix hospital. Kenneth Sevy (Nephi) is still recovering from a hip replacement which took place in the Provo Hospital. When Ken last talked to his mother, he told her that he was too young to be needing a hip replacement. I agree with him because he was one of my scouts that went to Japan with me for a World Jamboree in 1972. (Maybe it was the climb to the top or Mt. Fuji that started it all?) Richard and Ken are the oldest and youngest sons of Winona and Harold Sevy and have three sisters in between, Lorraine, Jolene, and Arlene. I have more to write but I am afraid that I am going to have to include it in next week's Knothole. For a while I thought I might have to call Ryan and tell him I was going to have to skip this week for the Knothole. Wednesday night 1 had thre misfortune of slipping and falling while getting an armload of wood for the fireplace. Slipping and falling has worried me all Winter since my sense of balance has not been too good ever since my accident a year ago. I have been so careful all Winter and have walked (shuffled) like an 'old man' making sure my feet were flat on the ground (snow) before I took a step, then in an unthinking moment I stepped on a piece of tin that was resting on ice and my right foot shot out from under me and down I went. I turned to my left so as to catch myself and light on my left hip and break some of the fall with my arm. (My only thought was to protect my neck which has not completely healed from the break last January.) After I got up and into the house, I felt pretty good and did not think I had done much damage, but the next moming I could not bend my leg and my right knee was so swolen that I could not sit at my computer until Saturday night and then for just a short time until the aching began. I finally got this much written today and am going to call it quits for this weeks Knothole and start tomorrow on next week with an apology for not writing everything that should be part of the Knothole for this week.
