W.C.T U. Speech Contest

W.C.T U. Speech Contest
My paternal grandmother, Virginia Brann Adams, was a member of the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) in Tremonton, Utah during the 1940s and 1950s.  Since I had shown "promise" in oration and public speaking, I became involved in the WCTU Speech Contests during the mid 1950s at about the age of...

A "Good Timin' Man"

A "Good Timin' Man"

Where Was I on 9-11

I really don't remember where I was on 9-11.  I just remember a feeling of incredulity looking at the buildings on fire.  I kept thinking, "There will be a lot of injuries."  But there were none.  It was eerie and sickening to think of all those people just gone.  Everything that...

I look back at 9-11 and sometimes wonder why we want to honor a disaster.  Why do we want to give credit to the power and damage the terrorists caused Americans that day? I have three sons and the fear of having to send them to war terrifies me. When they...
