Hi Bob,
... Along with the regular August stuff, BE County Fair for a week, canning tomatoes, Peach Queen Pageant that had to be moved to the Egyptian Theater in Ogden, then go into September with the large kidney stone, Peach Days a great visit from Dude and his wife, Carol. My sister got here from California just in time to help with a lawn party for Dude and some of his pals. We were all hoping that you would be able to make it to Brigham after you had finished your work for your North Ogden clients. We had a great time together with Mike Thurston, Shelby Whitaker, Herm Erdman and a few others along with their wives. Dude and Carol then went on a fishing trip to Bear Lake with Mike Carbaugh and his wife Robin for about five days. Then back at my house there were a few baskets of peaches and tomatoes and pears looking me in the face and I think I am now down to the last half bushel of each today and then I will start to pick grapes by next Wednesday. Mike Thurstan asked me if I would be making any wine with them but I told him that I was more of a peanut butter and (grape) jelly girl myself, along with all my grandkids.

Other not so good news - got a message from Henry Yates letting me know that Gary Dunn's son passed away about two weeks ago.
Thanks for your patient support ...
Barb

School Demolition Update

I found a photo and video on the District web site showing what the school is going to look like when it is finished and how the improvements will change the building that we remember. Classes will continue to be held while buildings are removed and constructed. I have not run across an article that summarizes the demo project showing costs and completion dates.

Article in Standard Examiner provides some details of demolition but mostly reminiscing:
