Show Tropic lews By Ronnie Brinkcrhoff 679-8734 Cattle are being sold at half the price they are worth, yet hamburger prices are still up. The lumber business is being "flushed down the drain and other than worrying about a livelihood, my husband Raymond is in good humor!" And how are you all doing this fine November day? Faye Pollock reports her grandson grand-son Joe Williams, who served an LDS mission in Chile, arrived back home then returned to attend the university in Santiago, Chile. Joe's family received a call recently to inform them he had found his sweetheart and wedding plans were underway. His mother Chris Williams of Beaver, along with her sister Kathy Chamberlain of Elko, Nev. flew to Chile to attend the happy event. They spent a week in that country enjoying the sights and getting acquainted with new family members. DeVar and Faye traveled to Elko to stay with Kathy's children chil-dren while she was away. Faye wondered if anyone had watched the space shuttle Columbia fly over Tropic on Sunday, Nov. 5 at 4:15 a.m. DeVar and Faye walked over to the Tropic Town Park and waited in the cold morning for the event. At 4:25 a.m. the brightly-lit shuttle passed over; it appeared four to five times larger than a regular jet does to the human eye. A sonic boom followed approximately four minutes later. Fifteen minutes after the shuttle Columbia landed in Florida; seven crew members aboard disembarked alive and well. Faye said it was a thrill to witness. ..which goes to prove, "the early bird catches more than the worm" these two early risers watched a bit of history being made. Kevin and Cassie Bybee and family of Ogden, and Craig and Brenda Bybee and family, Riverton were visitors at the home of Clive and Thelma Bybee during the black powder hunt. Craig brought a' friend, Brent Scott of Phoenix, Ariz, with him and Brent's father Wclby Scott of Salt Lake City.
