LeRoy Passes Away

August 1982 and beyond.
We went to Canada for LeRoys Funeral We traveled to Helena where we stayed at Motel 6. Then on to Great Falls where we went to some antique stores/. Then to Lethbridge. At the Funeral I gave the benediction and out at the Magrath Cemetery I dedicated the grave for LeRoy Dudley. In Canada I golfed in Magrath and at Crows nest Pass. I metal detected and found a lot of Canadian coins. I obtained quite a lot of antiques including a copper boiler and a round top trunk.The Lord blessed us on the trip, our truck is 10 years old and has 90000 miles on the engine. On the way home we stopped at Lagoon for the kids and went to Orem for a few days before heading back to Vernal. I am very grateful for my family especially my wife I am so fortunate to have her for my wife.

We had a High Council retreat at President Sowards cabin in the Uintas. I was asked to give a one hour talk.. The night before I went to Dripping Springs and spoke to a youth group from Ogden. The talk was around a campfire.  Then a day later I spoke at Vernal 8th ward conference...been a busy weekend.

Last week I had the chance to go to Provo and Salt Lake. KC is feeling better. His bowels are moving again.
