May Update

Ken and Catherine Groscost came for a visit on Friday. Catherine's aunt died (age 85) and her funeral was held on Saturday in South Jordan, Utah. Meanwhile, they have been spending time with Nick and MaryAnn Smith. You will recall that Nick Smith is suffering with liver cancer and has a long road ahead for recovery. Right now he is being treated at the Huntsman Cancer Institute with Chemo Therapy and some other procedures. He is age 62.

Mom and I are thinking of going to Green River on next Saturday to visit the River View Cemetary. Dave, Jackie and Nathan are planning to come along. It's been a while since I was there. Although, most recently Heps paid a visit last month.

Mom and I have been pushing David to start a blog. Right now he's missing all of the wonderful ideas and insight coming from blogs. So, even though I don't post as often as John I am trying to keep up with the Harts and the Specks.

You have probably read that our Utah governor, John Huntsman, Jr., has been named as the ambassador to China (the PRC). Seems like a good idea. He speaks the language and has some experience with business in China. I believe he and his wife adopted a girl from Taiwan.

Right now I seem to have plenty of work and am keeping busy but still have time for doing other stuff. Marge is still dedicated in her passion to enter names in our data base.

Today I learned that a new building is being constructed on the BYU campus for BYU Television. It appears that BYU Television is in over 180 million homes world wide. The construction ($45 Million) is from individual donations and is not out of tithing receipts. President Samuelson who is in our ward and is a neighbor is very positive about the programming.
