I've only attended two reunions over the years but temporarily planning to come to future lunches etc.
Went to BYU B.A, M.A. Juris Doctorate, Attended Bowling Green State U. in Ohio, Ph.D. Taught college ten years at Bowling Green and Southern Utah U. Practiced law after law school, President of the Davis County Bar, appointed to the bench in 1985, served for twenty-five years, reelected four times, served three additional years as a senior judge, served a term on the State Judicial Council, served as chair of the state board of Juvenile Court judges, published a case note in BYU Law Review, two articles in Utah Bar Journal on Juvenile Justice.
Mission to Kentucky 1963-65, taught Sunday School, served three missions with wife, one as Institute Director(s) in San Diego Mission. My wife and I married in SLC temple 1966. She’s a Davis High girl, Rebecca Layton. Becky and I served as zone leaders for two and a half years in the Pathway education program for the LDS church. I play banjo, mandolin, guitar and Irish Bouzouki in a duo called “The Bowler Boys.” 22 original songs and three novels later, I’ve learned that retirement is sure busy!

Somehow I was tempted to attend a band tryout for drum major, and got selected. Diane Arnoldus (Hope I spelled that right) was the Majorette, and we often practiced baton twirling (at which I was terrible) behind the old 12th street building after school. On one occasion I threw the metal baton high in the air, intending to catch it as part of the routine and keep it moving, but I misjudged the throw and it came down from quite a height, right on Diane's head. Lovely girl. She forgave me (I think).
