Comments: Born June 14, 1947 in old Dee Hospital (23rd & Harrison) Ogden, UT
Attended Wasatch Elementary K-6, Mt. Ogden Jr. High 7-9, and OHS 10-12; completed 4 semesters at WSC; served
LDS Mission 1966-68 in Scotland, UK.; Attended U of U 1968-1972, graduated Music Ed - Choral Music;
Married Carolyn Jonsson, SLC, Dec. 19, 1969; Taught in Ogden City School district from 1972 to
1974, before hiring on (for what I thought would be just the summer of 1974), at Union Pacific Railroad,
Clearfield Freeport Center. Will have been with UP now for 31 years, this June. 4 children; 4
great-grandchildren. In 1989, my position with Union Pacific was transferred to St. Louis,
Missouri. Transferred to the Information Technologies department in 1990, and have worked for past
15 years as a Data Security Analyst and Administrator for UP's Distributed Novell NDS and Windows
domains. In April of 2004, UP again transferred my position from St. Louis to Omaha, NE, where my
wife and I currently live.
Our four children are all grown and on their own. 3 are married, one still single, (2 grandkids,
with 2 more on the way.) Plan to retire in the next 5 to 7 years and move back to intermountain
area. Wish I could make 40th year reunion, but we're probably going to make two other flights to
Utah for birth of new grandchildren....so.... Great work on the site. I was searching
for info on the 40th reunion, and hit the jackpot. I guess the thing that surprised me most was the
number of friends that have left us. I knew of 3 or 4 who lived near me and were from Mt. Ogden,
but others like Ruelene Barlow and Dalene Dursteller really jolted me, along with others. I'm still
singing all the time. (Had a brief membership in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir back in the early 80's
but then my work schedule conflicted. But, still I get to sing often. Miss all those
buddies from OHS a capella choir (both during during Blackburn's and Wooden's years.)
Later, and here's a warm 'Hi' from the land of the missing.
