Show prnmnca nuws By Earl Roe 676-2376 I have been trying very hard to find something good about this protracted hot, dry weather that is so unusual for Panguitch and about the only thing I can say is that it has been a boon for our Lions Club aluminum can project. The bins fill almost as fast as I can empty them. Now if only the price of the cans would come back to where it used to be, we could easily meet our scholarship commitment. The wagon train that passed through town yesterday and stayed the night at Panguitch City Park, did not seem to cause much of a stir. The Lions Club provided them with a Dutch oven dinner at the fair building. They left early Thursday morning morn-ing for a round about route to Delta which is their final destination. desti-nation. One of my "old" teaching teach-ing buddies, Vernon Condie, was a participant and he really looked the part. He was driving an interesting team of (I believe they are called "dun") mules that had zebra-like stripes on the lower part of their legs. He said the markings come from a wild sire or dam from the old Spanish strain. Thirty-five of the posterity of Jay and Myrtle Riggs gathered in Panguitch for their bi-annual reunion. Howard and Pat Foy and their children from Ponca City, Oka., and Fred Riggs and his boys from Jacksonville, Fla., were unable to be here. But Joe Riggs came, from Concord, Calif, and brought three of his Utah kids and their families; Blaine and Martha and their eight children came from Cedar City; Ron, Karleta and Willie Riggs and John and Pam Yardley and their children "hiked" all the way from their homes in Panguitch to meet at the family home for some fun games, crafts, projects, and more hikes, and more hikes, and lots of good food that everyone enjoyed. They are looking forward for-ward to their next reunion and hope the "missing" family members mem-bers will be able to attend and make the family gathering complete. com-plete. Most of the descendants of Lawrence and Margaret Frandsen recently gathered at Panguitch City Park to celebrate Lawrence's 76th birthday. Lloyd and Suzanne Frandsen, South Jordan; Steve and Deanna Hatch, Scipio; Alan and Debra Orton, Price; Rodney and Robyn Frandsen, Parowan; Eldon and Jan Frandsen and Kevin and Debi Frandsen, all of Panguitch and 25 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren were among the total present. Keith and Betty Frandsen were also in attendance. Keith is Lawrence's brother and the two of them are the only living members of the 1 1 children born to George and . IdaFloy Frandsen. Lawrence and Margaret have been married for 55 years and Lawrence is still quite active helping son, Kevin with the sawmill and helping Eldon with his cattle. We wish him more "Happy Birthdays." Received word that Kasia Marsh, 18-year-old daughter of Curtis and Page Marsh of Monroe was involved in a rollover accident near Scipio and is in the LDS Hospital, where she is still in a coma suffering suf-fering from serious neck and head injuries. You may remember remem-ber Curtis as our former Postmaster. For those friends and relatives who might wish to give financial assistance to help with medical costs, an account for Kasia has been arranged through Wells Fargo Bank. Shortly after returning home from helping with the wagon train dinner, Art Cooper brought me a CD he wanted me to play. I though I recognized the voice, but will admit that I was surprised sur-prised to see the name of the recording artist since it was of such professional quality and beautiful singing. Art said the CD is for sale but the singer does not want it advertised. To keep this confidence, I'll not mention the name, but Art said he got his from mother-in-law, Shirley Bulkley. I wonder if the water has been turned on again in some of the fields because the Fish and Game Department has found the lake is tainted with "whirling disease" and they are planning on poisoning it! Back to a safe driving theme: (Probably for, the remainder of the tourist season) "Better try Less speed per mile That car May have to last a while." Burma Shave. |
