Forrest and Patti Christensen traveled to Kentucky to spend some time a new grandson, Tucker Zane Christensen, born to Zane and Amber Christensen.  They were in Alexandria, enjoying the wonderful southern hospitality of Amber’s family.  Zane is  in the army and is currently stationed in Korea.

Our scouts took an overnighter for Winter Camp at the Copenhagen Basis parking lot.  Clare Christensen  and Kim Rasmussen went along as our celebrated chefs/leaders.  The boys reported that they “ate like Kings!” The two turned out some grilled pork chops that were mighty tasty.  One young man said, “ I ate four.”  Scout leader Paul McKay and Jeff Seamons were in charge. \ Young men participating in the snow cave adventure were Andy McKay, Chance and Dakota Hatch, Nick Hawkes, Isaac Greene, Ty Beardall, Clay Jepsen, Walter Iverson and Ben Seamons.

New Beginnings, a special night for the Young Womens program, focused on the theme “Stand  Ye in Holy Places.”   Presidents of each class, Beehives, Mia Maids, and Laurels, described the motto of their classes.  The young ladies presented a skit entitled The Worth of Souls Pageant, featuring the traditional Young Women values.  Morgan McKay was the narrator and the rest of the girls modeled shoes(soles) and colors for each value.  Parents and friends who attended were served high heel sugar cookies and punch refreshments following the program.

News has come our way of the passing of Dr. James Low, formerly a physician in Preston, who lived in Mink Creek.  Both he and his wife, Betty, grew up in Wyoming.  Medical training and profession took them to California.  His specialty was family practice. From Fullerton, CA, they came to Franklin County. When he Betty, moved to Utah he practiced in Ogden.  He died in January, 2013, and interment was in the cemetery at Lovell, WY.
