The Springville Folkfest has been a tradition here for almost 20 years. I have been privileged to photograph at least 75% of them as a volunteer. My friends and family love the music and dancers and expect it every year. This year it was cancelled because too many dance groups could not get visas. Because of the increased security, they aren't allowed into our country. I hope this tightened security solves itself and the Folkfest comes back some day.
Lucky Red Hen is moving to Seattle. Jason McGrew, Kate Benson, Rebekah Westover and Stacy Young met at Carrabbas for a good bye lunch. Love ya Shannon, keep in touch.
How well I remember-
Taken at a small motel near Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico 1959. Marguerite had graduated summa cum laude
from Methodist Hospital nursing school – this was our first married vacation. The red 1959 Austin Healy Sprite sold for
$2,043.00, had a 2.2 liter twin overhead cam engine with dual SU carburetors, got an amazing
43 MPG (highway) and would cruise at 110 MPH if you were crazy enough. They sell today for $20K+ restored.
We left town with $158.00 cash – no overall credit card usage yet across America. Drove to Grand Canyon and back,
bought gas, ate meals, did a sightseeing flight over the canyon and returned with about $12 left to our $80 a month
apartment near the medical center. I was a Junior Electrical Engineer working for Dresser for $800 a month, and
we believed that we were bullet proof!

Happy 50th wedding anniversary, Mom and Dad
Photographers and brides pray for a day like yesterday. I don't know whose prayer Heavenly Father answered, but thank You!
