Show GSGALMJTt: tJEVJS By Marlene Haws 826-4859 Three years ago Judy Griffin and her four daughters, Judilyn Christensen, St. George and Jill Pickett, Kelli Stubbs and Dawn Spencer, all of Cedar City, decided to take a trip together every year and visit some of the LDS temples. This year they flew from Las Vegas, Nev., to Saint Louis, Mo., where they visited the temple there, then on to Nauvoo where they spent four days. They not only visited the temple but took quite a few of the tours, attended church there and had a wonderful time! They saw Berdell and Carma Barton, of Tropic, before the Bartons finished their mission and came back home. Judy and daughters also visited Carthage, 111., before returning home. They were gone five days. Sounds like a fun thing to do! We were all saddened to hear of the death of Analee Spencer Knudsen's son, Andy, 17, who was killed in a car wre4A)ck near Elko, Nev. Our hearts go out in compassion to that entire family. Andy spent a big part of his life in Escalante so it is like losing one of our own. Two other Escalante sons also passed away this week. Cecil Griffin passed away following complications from surgery. Our condolences to Carrie and her family. Also to brothers, DeLane, Gene and Lynn Griffin and sister, Vaunie Richins and families. Elvin Barker, 90, Salt Lake City, also passed away. He is an uncle of Phyllis Alvey, Klyn and Don Haws. His parents were Orrin and Johanna Roundy Barker. Our condolences to the Barker family. Arthur and Julie Lyman came down from Oregon for the funeral of Andy Robinson and came on to Escalante to visit Julie's parents, Norm -and Ardis Christensen. Clyde Christensen and daughter Crisanne, Tooele, were here also. Our sympathy also to Harriet and Phil Priska at the death of Harriet's dad 86-year-old Charles Harry Washburn of Salinas, Calif. He served as an Army chaplain during World War II, and for 61 years as a Presbyterian minister serving in churches in Scotland, New Zealand, Idaho, Illinois, and in the U.S. in Wyoming, Idaho, Illinois and northern California. Harriet, who is in California, said her mother Winnie will spend several weeks in Escalante with her and Phil in November. Ben Porter has been in the Valley View Medical Center in Cedar City. He had knee surgery sur-gery and is now in St. George with his daughter and son-in-law, Shelley and Jim Olsen. He will be there until he completes his rehab. Betty R. Alvey is also a patient at the hospital in Cedar City. She is recovering from surgery. Klyn Haws went to Cedar (See ESCALANTE on pg. 4A) Escalante From Page 2A City for a two week checkup following fol-lowing back surgery. He is not dancing yet (not that he ever did!) but his legs are no longer going numb. And his doctor has promised that his legs will get even better as time goes by. Bob Porter followed Dave Mclnelly up from Mesa, Ariz., and is visiting his sister Velma Boulter and his brother and sister-in-law Vergean and Carolyn Porter. Dave is here to do some more work on his home and getting get-ting ready for the deer hunt. I think his brothers are beginning to congregate at his mom (Twila Mclnelly's) house in anticipation anticipa-tion of the hunt too. Will have more names there next week. Lane and Geraldine Liston received word that their grandson grand-son Daniel Meisenbach, Orange, Calif., will leave in December to fill a mission in the Phillipines. Daniel is a son of Danny and Sherri Meisenbach. |
