If I could sum up all I am and all I want to be in just a few words, it is my hope my friends and family would say it is "I Love" I want that to be what is remembered about me. As a teenager I had some life-changing experience where I watched two of my grandparents go through painful deaths. My grandfather had prostate cancer. He suffered greatly, yet he was always sweet. I loved that man. I inherited many traits from him including not going bald at 30 like my father. He was a patriot. He was a thinker. He brought my mother from Germany on the first boat to America after World War II. She was nine at the time.

The mother's mother died of colon cancer a few years later right at the time I started teaching school. I was also a newlywed having been married a month after I started teaching. Grandmother being sick and needing care, I invited her to come live with us. We lived right next to my mother so my mother was going to help take care of her. Bless my wife Nancy and my mother. Those were trying times for all of us. Grandmother was always a fighter. That was wonderful. What was hard was she got bitter. With life's experiences she allowed herself to become bitter. We tried to take care of her. She was never happy. Finally, she demanded we put her on the bus to leave us. It went this way with all the rest of her family that would try to take care of her. She even left a resting home near the end. Finally, she died in the home of a man that worked at resting homes. She put her bitterness in him and made him promise to give her message at her funeral. He did.

What a difference between the two people, my grandparents. I saw how almost the same experience, the same suffering, cancer, was handled so differently. I decided I wanted to be like my grandfather Hugo. I want to let go of the hurt. I want to hang on to the good. We all have good experiences. We all have bad experiences. It is our choice how we will remember them and how we react to them. Behind every cloud there is a silver lining. Sometimes we have to work for it, yet it is always there.

Now on to my story, my life.

I come from a large Mormon family. I am the oldest of a family of 10. My family moved around a lot. No we were not in the military, that is just what my father did. By the time I was 21 I had moved 24 times. I have lived all over the central western states, UT, AZ, NV

I started in Salt Lake City, UT near Streetor Chevrolet. I used to sneak out of the house and fenced yard to watch the new cars get washed until my mother found out one day when the sales manager brought me home and told on me. We lived in Salt Lake City until I started school, 1st grade. I missed kindergarten.

We moved to Logan, UT. I loved the snow, green grass, and water. We lived there until I was in 5th grade when we moved to Cedar City, UT. I met prejudice there. Having moved around much, I have always been on the outside of social groups. That is my life. I am used to it. Even now in this town I have lived in now for the last 19 years, I am still pretty much a loner. People know me but I am not considered a close friend of anyone.

I went to junior high on the Indian reservation at Ft. Defiance, AZ. It was very hot and dry there, sand everywhere. Very little grass. I always missed the grass and green that was in Logan. The floods were neat as they flowed across the parched ground engulfing all in their path. Once my family in our car late at night jumped a flood with the car by accident. Scared us all to death. As you can imagine, that was an interesting experience. By the time I left the Indian reservation, I had many Navajo friends. I have learned from my many travels that people are people everywhere.
