Brief narratives were given on the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War I and II, with remarks on the Vietnam War, Korea, the Gulf War and Iraq. Musical numbers sung by the ward choir featured some of the songs depicting these periods of struggle to gain Independence and how costly in human blood it has been to maintain our free dom and .also our efforts to help other oppressed countries to gain their freedom. The congregation congre-gation joined the choir in singing the "Star Spangled Banner" and "God Bless America.'V Thanks to all those who took part in the program and all who attended. Edgar and Dorothy Dunham reunited with Dorothy's sister, Sylvia Jermey, brother-in-law, Brian Jermey, niece Ellen Jacob and Briannn's family from London, England. They had a family reunion on Sunday at Cannonville Park. Dorothy's children, Jean Mitchell, Mt. Pleasant and Linda Nielson of Manti had never met their mother's moth-er's family. It was a very exciting excit-ing time for everyone. Another important event took place Sunday afternoon when the tiny new baby daughter of Michael and Rimi Fletcher was blessed by her father and given the name of Nisha Yuki Fletcher. Would like to report the names of those visiting from out of town but no one reported it to me. Jessica Broderick from Tempe, Ariz, came to visit her grandparents, Larry and Glenna Fletcher. They were also visited by Howard and Joyce Broderick of Phoenix, Ariz. They were on their way to visit family mem- bers in Utah and Colorado. Brett and Carol Poole and daughter, Sara were weekend guests of A.C. and Rita Hammer. Brett was just retiring from the Navy. Sara graduated last week from San Clemente High School. The family is in the process of moving to Lancaster, PA , where Brett will be employed by a company repairing dental equipment. It's a long way to be moving, but now the Hammers will have daughters in Pennsylvania and Maryland, so more pull to travel East. Rosie Fletcher came and took Marva to Cedar City to spend the night and keep an early dental den-tal appointment on Monday. I would really like to send in all of your news but I can't do it if you don't either call me or write it and bring it to me. I thank those who have done it this week.
