Show PMJGUITCU HGl'JS Mamie Talbot 676-8084 A breathtaking sight this past week was a flock of turkey vultures vul-tures floating over the snow covered valley on wide-spread wings. Marylynn Kirkland, who lives in the log house north of town on the highway, has formed musical, classes for singers and instrumentalists. They are really service proj-ects because we all need to know . more about singing and playing music. Bob and Juanita Smith spent some time in Mesquite, Nev. They also drove to Las Vegas to become more acquainted with the city so they can find their way around next month when they go to the National Finals Rodeo there. The llama that used to be seen in a field down River Lane with a flock of sheep has now disappeared but there is one (the same one?) in one of the fields on the Dips road. We don't know who owns the ani-mal but it helps to guard sheep and other small domestic animals against coyotes and other wild animals looking for a meal. Paul Kay and Laura Julander are having a garage built on the west side of their house. Garages and carports are certainly cer-tainly handy to shield cars from the heat in summer and snow in 1 winter. The Josh Browns have sold their home which is the late Tessie Talbot house. They have bought and moved into the large brick home on the north edge of town on the highway formerly owned by the Dennis Mosers and Howard Finchers and others. oth-ers. The Shawn Parkinses are having a home built south of the KOA. It is next to the Shaun Shurtliffs. Contractor Steve Fellows is remodeling the former Cameron house across from the Bob Schermerhorns and the Post Office. The Cade Crofts house next to Steele Henrie is progressing on the framing. Richard Crofts has added seven units to this storage sheds north of town. It is good to see the building going on in the valley and more of the old empty houses being bought and fixed up. Some of these smaller houses are owned by people who fix them up for summer homes. It is cooler here than in Las Vegas in the summer. Verl Chidester drove a group of women to St. George to attend the LDS temple there. The Senior Citizens van and others like it are great to serve such projects. Speakers in the Panguitch LDS First Ward were KayMar Willis and Scott Walter. Maloy Dodds spoke in the Care Center meeting. Kenny and Randi Miller and son Mayo Miller spoke in the Panguitch LDS Second Ward. Mayo reported his LDS mission to Singapore, which also includes East and West Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. The older Primary children sang "I Hope They Call Me On A Mission." We have learned of the death of former resident Florence Parker, who died in March. She would have been 100 years old this month. She and her husband, hus-band, Bruce Parker, lived here for many years and were active in town affairs. She was the aunt of Linda Bardwell Olson. Lamont and Linda Olson own and will live in Flora Bard-well's Bard-well's historic house. Former resident Kathy Meyer, wife of Cliff Meyer, passed away in October.

John and Kathy Julander and their children went to the St. George LDS Temple to be endowed and sealed together. Family and friends accompanied accompa-nied them. Former resident Myrtle Hey-wood Hey-wood was here for CM. Smith's funeral. It is so good to see these old friends and to hear from them.

We hope she is recuperating recu-perating all right. Jeremy Poll was here to visit , his parents, Calvin and D'Lynn Poll and sister, Amy. The Trampas Gilberts have moved into a house north of the former Round Up. Leola Henrie called her aunt Mary Henrie to say that her husband, hus-band, Dr. E. Terry Henrie was out on medical mission work but she wanted to let folks know that they will be home from their mission in April. Pat Dix had hip surgery in Cedar City on Nov. 13 and is now home and getting around just fine. The Dix's daughter, Melody Wood has been here helping out. Other visitors were Beth Allred, May Sawyer and Kelley and Brandon Dix. Ileta Dix told me of an experience expe-rience that Melody and her sis- ter, Roberta Irish, had at Panguitch Lake where the water is very low. They saw what looked like a line of porpoises. Since the lake has never been known to contain porpoises, it could only have been at least three huge native fish. The really real-ly big ones have always been in the depths of the volcano-made lake. (Earl has a little addendum adden-dum to this) Dave and Karran Harris flew to Atlanta to visit with daughter, Wendy and husband, Ted Randall and their daughters.

By Earl Roe 676-2376;,. Pat Oetting informed me that "Christmas in the Country" is all set to go. This is an event that "kicked-off ' on Dec. 1 and will continue until Christmas and hope-fully will entice our citizens citi-zens to do as much of their Christmas buying as possible from our local merchants. Our Main Street Commit-tee (Janine Fellows, manager) and our city officers, are cooperating in seeing see-ing that this program is successful. success-ful.

These drawing will be held each Saturday at the same time until the last Saturday before Christmas. Christ-mas. Let's all hope that Mother Nature cooperates as predicted and we can have snow so that we can look forward to an old fashioned White Christmas. On the Nov. 9, Evalyn and I traveled to Nellis AFB to attend the activation ceremony of the 98th Range Wing of the US Air Force. The 98th Bomb Group saw active duty during both WWII and the Korean War. It was deactivated some time after the Korean War ended but when a new wing was needed to manage man-age the test range in Nevada, the 98th Bomb GP was chosen because of it's outstanding historical his-torical record. At our recent reun-ion of the 98th Bomb GP Association at Tucson, Colonel Wilhelm F. Percival, Commander Comm-ander of the 98th Range Wing, came to our reunion to speak to us and give all of our members an invitation to attend the ceremony cere-mony at Nellis as special guests. Fifteen members and their wives were able to attend and we were treated royally. Evalyn and I thought we were going to have a relaxing Thanksgiving this year, as we had been invited to spend it with our daughter's family in Panaca. But after attending our grand-daughter'sreception grand-daughter'sreception in Panaca and count-ing the number of family who would be present, everyone decided it would be better if everyone came home, as there was more room and the family home would be available for extra beds. Consequently, we found ourselves our-selves eating with Pete and Beverly Peterson, their three unmarried children, Cliff, Jennie r and Doug; their daughters and husbands, Jonathan and Amber Brunjes and Travis and Camilee Ford (married almost one month). Also on hand were their foreign exchange student, Ricardo Romani from Brazil; and Jonathan's missionary companion, com-panion, Christopher Bates, who is going to school in Provo but lives in Virginia and could not make it home for Thanksgiving. Brent and Barbara Roe Lewis and their son, Aaron, are here, so with Evalyn and I and our foreign exchange student, Man-Ho Man-Ho Ah (Joe) from Hong Kong, we had a full table and a lot to be thankful for. I think we will remember it as our "International "Interna-tional Thanksgiving". I would like to remind those of you who might be interested in hosting a foreign student that some five-month students will be available in January and 10-month 10-month students for next year will be available soon after. The earliest applicants have the widest choice of countries and students. "A Thanksgiving Hug-A Birthday Kiss-Awaits The Woman-Who Gives This" Burma Shave. |
