Seems like I knew Doug forever, but I didn't really know him well, although I have positive memories of him. I enjoyed reading about his life. Dale, did he go to Irving?
Thanks to all the Cubs who help keep us up to date on our classmates.

I got to know Carol better when we worked together part-time at the Index Bureau at the old SLC high school during our first two years at the U. That was a challenging time. I remember laughs and serious conversations.

Thank you so much for the work and planning by the reunion committee. Dave and I enjoyed every minute. Thanks to Duane Millard for inviting us to his beautiful home, and whoever arranged for the clear, sunny weather, thank you as well.
Dennis Stirling sang one of my favorite 60's songs--Unchained Melody--and Dale Myrberg gave us an incomparable yo-yo performance.
And thanks to all who provided all the wonderful food dishes. I loved connecting with so many friends and acquaintances, and missed those who weren't able to come.
Every visit to Salt Lake brings back so many memories and mixed emotions.
A few months ago I came across Gary and Gordon Shepherd's memoir, Growing Up In the City of the Saints. Enjoyed reading it--and so excited to meet Gary himself at the reunion and be able to chat with him.
I do have one problem--that Victory song? I haven't hear or thought about it for decades. You guys had to sing it! Now I've got an ear worm and can't get it out of my brain.

We're sheltering-in-place here in San Jose, keeping in touch with family, friends, and classmates with Skype and Zoom and doing well for now. I'm looking forward seeing all of you at August reunion--and prepared to make changes if it must be postponed. Take care!
Love the coat rack story. I had no idea--but I'll bet there are lots of great "not yet told" stories about the class of 1960.

I’m sorry to miss the reunion. I hope you all have a great time.
In June we went to Paris with our son and daughter-in-law to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. In a few weeks we will go to Chicago where Dave will officiate at the wedding of one of the grandkids. Last year he officiated at the wedding of another one and in October we’ll be back in Chicago again for the wedding of the third and he will officiate again. In September we will stand in as substitute parents at the wedding of his sister in Rhode Island.
The last five years have been busy. I’m writing a book titled (for now) Charles W. Penrose: Polygamy, Politics and the Press 1880-1905. Penrose, editor in chief of the Deseret News, was indicted for unlawful cohabitation early in 1885. With the US marshal on his trail he undertook a series of missions to Washington, New York, and London, using disguises, aliases, and secret codes in an effort to promote statehood for Utah Territory and to change public opinion about the Mormons. The book was inspired when I learned that his 8 year-old son (my grandfather) was subpoenaed to testify against his father before the grand jury.
In connection with the book project I’ve presented papers related to the book at the Mormon History Association (MHA) Calgary conference in 2012, which will be published in the Journal of Mormon History next year. In 2014 I presented three papers: one at the BYU Symposium on Global Mormonism, which will appear in a book to be published in March 2016. I also presented a paper at the MHA in San Antonio, and another on the Hornblowers, Pioneer Steam Engineers in Milwaukee.
In 2012 we went to the 300th anniversary of the invention of the steam engine by Thomas Newcomen in Dartmouth, England. My 5th cousin, Brian Corfield, was one of the three main speakers at the conference. Our Hornblower ancestors worked for Newcomen building the earliest engines. On the same trip we went to Kaliningrad, Russia, to visit senior missionaries: Dave’s sister Bonny and her husband Dan.
After flunking retirement from Deloitte, Dave went back to work as an attorney, and then returned to practice as a CPA in a local firm last year. All that and he underwent five surgeries in the last five years. Fortunately I have stayed healthy to take care of him. He’s fine now. We still find time for classes at Stanford and to take cruises.
