Roy sells raw Box Elder Burl by the ton, and blanks for turning knife and gun handles. His art is wildlife and country scenes woodburned on natural edge wood slabs. He was doing metal art when we first met: signs, mailbox stands, yard ornaments, clocks, and many other things. My mother has been living with us for almost 3 years and is a wonderful blessing to us.

| Children: | 4 |
| Occupation: | Music Teacher Retired |
| Biography/Comment (What have you been doing for the last 50 years?): | At one of our previous reunions, someone put together a booklet that had our submissions of what we had been doing since graduation. I really like that book! (Thanks to whoever did it!) I hope you will take advantage of this biography block and fill us in with what you've been doing the last 50 years. Here's my bio: I married Dan during my third year at BYU, and managed to graduate 5 years later with a degree in Elementary Education and motherhood (with two boys). We lived in Napa, California for 42 years and had a couple more kids, a boy and a girl. Dan and his family owned a gift store that somehow morphed into a prison order fulfillment business. Now the next generation is pretty much running it, two of our sons (one is managing our Ohio warehouse) and our daughter, as well as nephews and nieces. (If you ever go to prison and receive a Walkenhorst catalog, we will have that wonderful connection!) When the business outgrew our Napa location, we relocated to Sparks, Nevada. I miss Napa, but not the fires, the earthquakes and traffic. I taught piano, organ and flute lessons for about 30 years and amassed hundreds of students over the years. I semi-retired when we moved to Nevada 5 years ago, but if someone really twists my arm, I take them in. Church service has kept me busy; not sure why I ended up being president of our Young Women's organization four times. Maybe I never got it right. Same thing happened with our Women's organization (Relief Society). I play the organ at church and play amazing preludes. I also have led a lot of choirs for church and special events. My husband and I put together a few community events in Napa, one being "A Night in Bethlehem." We even made the front page news. We have 9 grandkids, ages 2 to 21. All girls except 7 of them. They are, of course, better looking and smarter than other people's grandchildren. My claim to fame: I ran the Napa Valley marathon and came in 950th. Fun fact: We named all our kids J names and they all married M's. |
