Show PMGUITffl nuws NOTE: Our beloved Mamie Talbot is once agajn spending a little time at Garfield Memorial Hospital while doctors do their best to get her feeling better and back out reporting the news. Folks can help her get more rest if they will harass Earl Roe for a tinie with all those travel and news items. ..Mamie thinks he can handle it now that she's got him broke in a little! We wish her God speed for a quick recovery. By Earl Roe 676-2376. I'm Back! I have had several of our readers tell me they have missed my news items the last couple of weeks; (It's nice to be missed). Even Lois Lane (Nancy) Stopped to see me in Red Canyon to ask if they had hurt my feelings in some way. I assured her that they had not arid that my feelings were not hurt easily. I was just out of town. Evalyn and I spent' a week in Tucson, Ariz, at a reunion of my 98th Bomb Gp. Association (Korean War). We spent most of the previous week in Provo and Salt Lake City on School Board business and with all this demands on my limited spare time, I just didn't have time to get my writing done. (I admit to going fishing a couple of times). We had planned on spending some extra days visiting with friends and relatives in the PhoenixMesa area but when Deanna called and told us they had taken our grandson, Wyatt, to Primary Children's Hospital with diabetes, we decided to come home and it was surely nice to get back in Panguitch and our own bed. (Motel beds are too hard for sleeping). Before my "time out," Edith (Betenson) Sevy called to tell me that her husband, Doyle Sevy, had his hip slip out of joint and had to have surgery and at the time was in the Rehab Center in St. George. I hope he is home by now and recovering nicely. Doyle is Harold Sevy's oldest brother and spent his youth here in Panguitch. Edith worked as a cook in our hospital for quite a number of years. Alfhild losie came out to the Red Canyon Visitor Center visitor visi-tor to inform me that she and Bennett had been called to serve . an LDS mission in St. Petersburg, Russia for 23 months. They will report to the Senior Mission Training upon their arrival. After their training, train-ing, they will serve as the Church Education Coordinators. Bennett and Alfhild moved to Panguitch from Tabiona to accept the job of Principal of Panguitch High School, a position posi-tion he filled for 11 years. From the way he straightened up the problems in our high school, I would wager that he will have the LDS Church System in Russia running smoothly by the time they leave. I was Head Teacher in Panguitch Middle School during six of Bennett's years and it was fun and interesting inter-esting to work with him. Their farewell will be held in Tabiona on Nov. 25 and all of their friends are invited to attend. A note of interest: on the 23 month stay for an LDS mission instead of 24 as it used to be. Recently the IRS came up with a ruling that 24 months or longer was a permanent move and moving expenses were not tax deductible so the LDS leaders decided to shorten the time of a mission for married couples to 23 months. Marilyn Veater, Panguitch; Marlene Lewis, Henderson, Nev., and Mary Ella Sudweeks of Circleville, drove to Orem on Oct. 10 where they spent three days at the home of my sister, Ardeth Davis. Evidently Ardie served as their tour director while they were there. They drove to Sandy where they rode the light rail into downtown Salt Lake where they visited the Joseph Smith Building, the Conference Center and it's flower gardens, the LDS Visitor Center which had just reopened following some remodeling, the LDS Museum and the History Center of Fine Arts. They ended with a session in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. (All this in one day who only someone like Ardie can do!) The second day they attended the Jordan and the Mt. Timpanogos LDS Temples and then toured the Ken Croft Candy Cane Company and the Lehi Roller Mills. (All of our candy canes are made by the company and they ship them all over the world.) The third day they drove to Vernal to attend the temple there and sight-see in the area, then drove back to Ardie's. It was a fun-filled three days for these former classmates and they hated to have them end. Special thanks to Roger and Jill Nowers for keeping us up-to-date on the progress of their son, Chaney Nowers. Folks, he now can have visitors and wouldn't mind seeing some of those old familiar mugs from across the county. Keep him in mind if you get at all close to Salt Lake City. Also, the family sends their love and appreciation apprecia-tion for your coveted prayers, calls and notes. Cards for Chaney may be sent to LDS Hospital, 8th Ave. and C Street, Floor 5, Salt Lake City, Utah 84143. With our harvest season over, this seems to fit.
