Notes:

Aagot Marie Randby was born in Oslo, Norway, January 11, 1884. Her moth e r was Marie Darmody. Aagot was adopted by Ole and Lena Randby. When Jo h n Randby, the only son of Ole and Lena Randby was driving a hackney aro un d the city of Oslo as a taxi service, he heard a baby crying many time s o n his route. He reported this to his father and mother. As his fathe r wa s a constable, he was given permission to bring the baby home. She w as la ter adopted by the Randbys. Aagot’s real father owned a shoe factor y. Aag ot managed to acquire many lovely things when she visited him. Amo ng the m were some high button shoes that she highly treasured. At a ver y earl y age she had a lovely singing voice. She recounted many times t o her chi ldren that she sang for the Prince of Norway when he docked. Pl atforms we re built in the trees to watch the Prince ride by in his carri age. Aago t sang for the Prince as he approached his palace. Later when E van Stephe ns (LDS composer and director of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir ) visited Nor way, he was very much impressed by her singing. Aagot’s mot her was one o f the early converts to the church (Church of Jesus Chris t of Latter Da y Saints). Her father never joined. He was the head of th e King’s Polic e Force and was very handsome in his regalia of braid an d tassles. When A agot heard the gospel from some missionaries she too wi shed to join the C hurch. She sneaked off to the Mormon meetings becaus e her father objecte d to her joining the Church. Aagot was baptized 31 J uly 1899 in Norway. T he young daughter came to Utah in 1901. Her fathe r said he would clothe h er in all of the beautiful clothes she would des ire to prepare her for he r journey, but after she left he would never su pport her financially agai n.
When she arrived in Utah, she disembarked in Ogden where it was muddy a n d rainy. She had been prepared for a city paved in gold in Zion. She st ar ted working as an assistant seamstress at a Walker Department Store. S h e sewed on buttons and altered clothing as a beginning. One of the mos t e ventful happenings of her life was when she was crowned Queen of th e 88t h Anniversary Celebration of Norway’s Independence in Salt Lake Cit y in 1 902. It was at this celebration that she met Djalmar Lund and thei r court ship commenced. She loved hats and many times bought a new hat t o wear o n a date with Djalmar rather than buy herself a meal. Djalmar bo ught he r pastries which many times was all she had to eat.
Aagot was endowed on the 27th of May and married in the Salt Lake Temp l e that same day in the year 1903.
Aagot was a soloist for many years in the Scandinavian Choir on Temple S q uare and gave many hours of valuable service as a soloist at funerals . Sh e was the mother of two sons and five daughters: Aubrey Djalmar, Gor don R andby, Evangeline Priscilla, Thelma Eve, Margot Arvilla, LaVon Iris , an d Constance Irene.
She was a very happy spirit singing around the house while she did her w o rk. She had a rare sense of humor, was a comedienne perching silly hat s o n her head and pulling faces to delight her children. She loved to vi si t and was fun to be with and as a result had many friends and belonge d t o many ladies’ clubs. She enjoyed associating with the ladies in th e Reli ef Society and was a faithful attender in her own ward and the Fed eral He ights Ward where many of her more wealthy friends attended. Aago t was a f aithful temple worker and as a child I remember her regularly p reparing t he temple clothes by washing and ironing them before she atten ded a sessi on. My parents’ diligence has been an example to me.
She sewed most of the clothes her children wore, making underwear from H u stler flour sacks and dresses from old pants of her husband. She sewe d an d designed her own hats from second hand ones. They were stunning. S he wa s always very well dressed and fashionable. She also sewed baby bon nets w hich she sold and displayed in Mormon Handicrafts. She was very cr eativ e tatting handkerchiefs, making rag rugs, lamp shades, and jewelr y from o ld buttons and beads. She made homemade bread and always had coo kies in t he cookie jar. She canned fruits by the hundreds of jars, pickl es, chil i sauce and jams and jellies. The aroma of good cooking always f illed th e air. She took great pride in a beautiful home and acquiring ma ny lovel y pieces of china and furniture because of her good management.
She loved dances and parties and while rearing her family took her babi e s with her in a buggy and bedded some of the younger children on the be nc hes while she danced and joined in the fun. She and Djalmar attended m an y masquerades dressed to the hilt.
She desired the best for her children and wanted them to be educated a n d have the opportunity to be cultured. She urged them to study a music a l instrument or take dancing.
Aagot devoted her last few years to Djalmar, who became blind. Until t h e end she was very alert, fun loving, and young for her years, never tu rn ing gray until her very last days when she fell and broke her hip. I n th e matter of a few months her health went downhill and she passed awa y o n September 9, 1966, about two months after her dear Djalmar.

Shortly after her birth, Mot her w alked up town in meet Dad and buy a perambulator (baby carriage). T hey we re so proud. Vange screamed every time they put her in it and ende d up wa lking home, carrying the baby as the other pushed the perambulato r. Whe n Vange was still of pre-school age, Mother and Father bought th e propert y at 677 West Capitol Street. Then Mother took Vange and Temmi e, her you nger sister, and went to Ogden to live with a cousin while th e house wa s being constructed. Vange attended the Washington Elementar y School an d L.D.S. High School. When she was almost eleven years old, s he won Firs t Prize, a blue ribbon, at the Fair for her crocheting and em broidery wor k. When she was seventeen she earned spending money by makin g men’s shirt s for the Rudhart’s. I was told by my mother many times tha t Vange spen t a good deal of her earnings on baby clothes for me and pro udly displaye d me wearing them to her friends.
In May of 1929, the family moved to 266 Douglas Street because the old e r girls convinced their parents that they needed a nicer home and neigh bo rhood in which to entertain their friends. Vange met Lon Sutton, who w a s to become her fiancée in this new locale. Lon and Lev Sutton were le f t orphans when they were young, so their aunt who lived on 5th South a n d 13th East took care of them. They grew up there and attended East Hi g h School where Lon became a football hero. When visiting Mable Lund , a co usin, one weekend for a party, Vange met Lon and fell in love. Aft er wor k on weekends she would take the trolley up to Mable’s where she a nd Lo n would meet. Lon spent his summers in El Paso, Texas working a s a survey or for the gas company and started attending the University o f Utah durin g the school year. Vange became good friends with Lon’s aun t and uncle an d had many Sunday meals with them while Lon was away. Whe n she was to gra duate from East High School, there was so much excitemen t. Her lilac chif fon dress arrived from the dress maker and shortly afte r came a corsage f rom Lon. She was so excited for after the graduation e xercises they hel d the graduation dance and Lon was taking her. This wa s Lon’s third yea r of college after summers in Texas and they were plann ing to marry. In t he meantime, Lon had decided to join the Church. His a unt, who was not L. D.S., was very unhappy. During his last summer in Tex as, they planned t o meet in California to be married. Two weeks before h e contracted pneumo nia and died. It was a terrible shock.
Evangeline started working for Walkers Department Store in the milline r y department decorating hats and later making hats. She then worked fo r t he Telephone Company. She met a life time friend there, Alice Kidd, w ho b ecame endeared to the entire family. Later she worked for the Wester n Com pany of Safeway Inc. in the wholesale warehouse where she met Joh n B. Bro ckman, who was the General Manager of the Western Division of th e Safewa y stores. He fell desperately in love with her and lavished he r with gif ts of fox furs and diamonds. They were married February 6, 193 2 and move d to Seattle, Washington, after losing everything in the depre ssion of 19 29. J.B. had owned 6 chain stores in different towns and ende d his year s with Safeway working in Webster South Dakota cleaning and st ocking th e shelves of a Safeway store.
A son, Nicholus, was born on 31 December 1932, they year they left for S e attle, Washington. After moving to Seattle where they purchased a love l y home, Vange starting working for Frederick and Nelson in the yardag e de partment. J.B. worked as a longshoreman, filling in when the men wer e ill . J.B. died at 68 years of age in 1958. After his death, Vange rema ined i n Seattle for 10 years, retiring at age 65 and then moving to Carm el, Cal ifornia where she lived in a lovely condominium called the Del Me sa nea r her son. Her last four years were spent living on her son’s ranc h in Ca rmel Valley. She spent her last years sewing for her dear grandch ildren a nd caring for and loving her family. She was a special sister t o me, sewi ng clothes and doll clothes for my children and endearing he r to them. He r greatest heirloom to us was some gorgeous Christmas stock ings that sh e sewed, embroidered and decorated with beads. They were a s howpiece an d tradition for every Christmas where they graced our firepla ce, always a ttracting attention. As each child was born, one of these pr ecious stocki ngs came in the mail at Christmas with our newborn’s name e mbroidered o n it. Vange’s final hours were painful as she had complicat ions in her b ack from carrying such heavy loads of materials for so man y years. Her bo nes deteriorated and she ended up using a walker to mov e about in her hom e. She passed away on May 10, 1980. Vange will alway s be remembered a s a very refined lady, meticulous in her dress, and he r home being a symb ol of good taste.

Death: California, Death Index, 1940-1997

Temmie was born on the 31st of July 1908, the 2nd girl and child of Djal m ar Emanuel Lund and Aagot Marie Randby at 677 West Capitol Street, Sal t L ake City, Utah. Temmie was a very active, happy child; a tom-boy fro m th e start, loving to play with the boys, “Kick the Can,” “Run Sheepy R un, ” baseball, hopping on the ice wagon, always tearing her clothes an d shoe s, being a constant consternation to her parents. Mother would say , “ No w Thelma needs new shoes!” Father complained about buying her ne w shoes s o often. Temmie claimed the bushes reached out and tore her clo thes. Sh e was King of Bunker Hill and mother’s company fruit, potatoes , onions, a nd carrots were always missing from the larder so Temmie coul d feed her t ribe up in the cave of the hills. Ropes were tied from sit e to another s o the cave dwellers could take a ride. She loved basebal l and would gathe r all the kids in the neighborhood together in an empt y lot that used t o be an orchard. They would play for hours, screaming a nd whooping it up . Her zest for living continued throughout her life. Sh e was the type o f spirit that was undaunted, and once known was never fo rgotten. She ha d friends galore, loving and interested in everyone she m et. She needed t o be needed, knew no strangers, was always ready to do a nything for anyon e.
Temmie didn’t like to help with the chores. The call of the wild was i n h er blood. She cussed as she did her scrubbing job, threw the bread do ug h up to the ceiling when she was on kitchen detail and usually manage d t o prop up a book and read as she did her task. She had her brothers a nd s isters under her thumb. On Pay Day it was Temmie who divided the can dy th at was a bonus for paying the monthly food bill. She always ate th e extra s so the candy could be divided evenly. At one time she pulled al l of th e teeth out of the glass dolls’ mouths that her younger sisters h ad gotte n for Christmas. She had ordered a sled for Christmas and took i t to be d with her. Many a spanking awaited Temmie after her escapades wh en her m other and father couldn’t locate her in her familiar haunts. Onc e they fo und her at Warm Springs floating on an old man’s stomach. She w ised up ev entually as she got older and put a board in her pants to soft en the blo w when she had her almost daily spanking. When mother and fath er left fo r the evening, many a batch of taffy or fudge were instigate d by Temmie.
Temmie was baptized 2 September 1916. She attended church but her though t s were not on the lessons, but on the good looking boys in her class. W he n Temmie became of Mutual age, she held a position of drama director a n d put on many zesty Road Shows and managed to include her sisters in t h e cast. At one time she was in charge of the ward dances and before th e e vent would go to the neighboring stores and beg prizes off of the loc al m erchants.
She always owned some kind of wheels – a Franklin Touring car, “Puddle-J u mper” (a coup) or Model T Ford – and always had a car load of friends . He r best friends throughout the years were Alma Reed, Alice Kidd, an d many , many boys.

Father gave her tips o n how to us e a comptometer, transcript, typewriter and shorthand.
She married George Pixton on the 20th of September 1940, the culminati o n of a long courtship over the years. George wanted Temmie to quit work in g so she worked part time in a drug store until his death from leukemi a i n 1944 when she moved to Ogden to live with her sister Vonnie for nin e mo nths. When Vonnie moved to Sacramento, Temmie joined her. She starte d wor king in Jackson as an accountant for nine months after which she wo rked f or George Gibson and Watts. She later worked as an accountant fo r some do ctors and then became self-employed, keeping the books and doin g income t ax returns in her home.
Temmie met Ira Raymond Griffith at a social club called 30-60 of whic h h e was president. He was a good match for Temmie, loving parties and p eopl e and having a rare sense of humor. Later, Ira became the presiden t o f a square dancing club and they enjoyed socials with their friends w hil e he was president for two two-year terms. Temmie delighted in the pr ogra ms they had to plan once a year for the square dancing club. She wa s a na tural performer and at one time was told she sang as well as Kat e Smith . One act they prepared was to have a hearse (which their friend s owned ) and the ushering in of the casket with a corpse into the hall . Anothe r act was a hillbilly act with Ira as a woman with curls, hat wi th flower s, wearing a shawl and beads. Friend, Al Gunderson, was the man . Anothe r time Temmie played the part of Annie Oakley wearing braids an d all of t he regalia. The men put on an act dancing as can-can girls wea ring knit s hirts, pom poms on their ankles, wearing paper flowers on the ir wig tress es. At the end of the act they flipped their skirts up to di splay “The En d” on their posteriors. Once the men dressed as Southern be lles with bonn ets covered with flowers and with balloons under their t-s hirts that wer e popped at the end of the act. Temmie did such a grand jo b of playing An nie Oakley that word got around and she was asked to perf orm at a Jr. Col lege. She sang “My Bill” and slung her guns into her hol sters like a pro . Vonnie helped engineer and sew many of the costumes an d props for thes e acts.
Temmie enjoyed knitting and knit enough sweaters to supply the whole fam i ly. Temmie did beautiful crewel work which was displayed in many room s o f her home. She enjoyed making Christmas balls – so elegant that he r tre e decorations became famous and she was featured in a local newspap er. Sh e loved to entertain and 150 people was not an uncommon number t o grace h er home with barbecues and open houses.
Temmie traveled with her sister Vonnie to England, Denmark, Norway, Wash i ngton D.C., New York City, Hawaii, New Orleans, Canada, Caribbean and C at alina, Amish country, Chicago, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Massachuse tts , Mexico, Acapulco and New Mexico.
Temmie passed away on July 23, 1981. The memories of her will alway s b e sweet. She was endeared by so many for her fun-loving personality a nd h er generous nature. She always wanted a whole baseball team of child ren a nd ended up with a baseball league because she was like a mother t o all o f her sisters’ children. Aunt Temmie was like Santa Claus – a jol ly goo d person to all. Her memory will always be treasured.

Her sister Temmi e said of h er: “Mother always called Margot her ‘little star.’ When cho res had to b e done, Margot in her quiet way would do them, without a wor d of complain t. Margot is a very kind, thoughtful person, especially t o her mother an d dad. Margot couldn’t tell a lie, if her life depended o n it.”
Margot relates, “We had a nice home on West Capitol Street with no bathr o om so we had to bathe in a large tub and heat the water on a coal stov e a nd use an outhouse. Dad couldn’t afford an inside bathroom at that ti me . Later, Dad had a bathroom built in.”
“When Abe (Aubrey) was born, I had to help take care of him like takin g h im for a buggy ride when Mother would have company. At that time, sh e b e longed to a club, so one day when she went to her club meeting, I a ske d her if she was going to get clubbed. I didn’t know any better at th e ti me. When Abe got older and started school, he would make us late bec aus e he would fuss over his long-legged underwear.”

She relates, “One date I had took me for an airplane ride, which was a t h rill but a bit scary. Another date I walked home from Emigration Canyo n . I didn’t like the fellow I was with. I hailed a ride home with some m ar ried couples older than myself. When Saltair opened up, I went there d anc ing with a fellow and had a ride on their Giant Racer. That was fun.”

DEATH: U.S., Social Security Death Index, 1935-2014

LaVon was born on the 19th of October 1913 at 677 West Capitol Stree t i n Salt Lake City, Utah. She was the fourth girl and child of Djalma r an d Aagot Lund. The home on West Capitol Street was a very fashionabl e hom e at that time. Consisting of a kitchen, pantry, bathroom, dining r oom, l iving room, library, bedroom and porch. The porch was used for sle eping q uarters for the children as the family got bigger; in inclement w eather , oil cloth was placed on the bed to keep the children dry. A dres ser o n the porch helped the sleeping porch to suffice for a bedroom. The re wa s a couch in the kitchen which was used only for the children whe n they w ere ill so they could sleep next to their parents. The Lunds too k great p ride in their home and tried to always keep it tidy and beautif ully furni shed. The home was located on a hill with the house nestled a t the botto m with a rolling lawn for a front yard. A gravel road highe r up on the hi ll was the access to the home. The hills which surrounde d their home hel d a lot of crannies, caves and fascinating spots for chi ldren to play.
Vonnie attended the Washington School. She was baptized April 1, 1922. V o nnie had a very busy childhood caring for her younger brother, Abe, an d y ounger sister, Connie. Connie recalls how Vonnie had to throw her co at o ut of the window when she went to school to avoid a scene of cryin g on th e part of Connie (she was such a mother to her). She spent many h ours sew ing at an early age for herself and the family to help ease th e burdens o f the depression years. Household chores were washing diaper s after schoo l, scrubbing floors, walls, doing dishes and general cleani ng. Many trip s were made to the 24th Ward wheeling a baby carriage for h er mother. Vo nnie taught herself how to play the piano, one of her acco mplishments bei ng the “Rustle of Spring” which was the envy of Connie, t o whom she intro duced the piano in her later years. Vonnie took dancin g lessons from Le e Christ. Vonnie recalls being in several Roadshows dir ected by her siste r Temmie. One of the favorite pastimes was walking do wn to the Star Thea tre to attend a movie for ten cents. The Washington S chool was a favorit e swimming haunt of Vonnie and her sisters. Warm Spri ngs also was a swimm ing pool where the family could afford to go swimmin g free on Monday morn ings. Many times the girls brought their lunch, hid ing in the restrooms w ith their feet hoisted up in the air until open pl unge for everyone start ed. Vonnie’s closest friends at this time were Ma rgaret Leatham, Tilda Jo rdan and Vera Huston. Vonnie attended West Junio r High. At the end of he r Junior High years, the Lunds moved to 266 Doug las Street and Vonnie att ended East High School. Ann Widstoe, daughter o f Apostle Widstoe, was he r Mutual teacher. Vonnie attended the 33rd War d at the time. Ann becam e a dear friend and invited Vonnie to her Summe r cabin. In the Summer o f 1929 at this cabin Vonnie met Dell Thomas Tuck er. He came up to the Wid stoe’s on horseback and Vonnie met him in the c orral. Some of Vonnie’s cl osest friends at this time were Don McDonald , Beth Hintze, and Naoma Melv ille.
Vonnie was endowed on the 2nd of May 1934 and sealed to Dell in the Sa l t Lake Temple on the same day. They lived in the Kimball Apartments o n Ma in Street two blocks north of the L.D.S. Business College. Then the y live d on University Street and 2nd South, and Unversity Street and 5t h Sout h while Dell attended the U. of U. During the depression years i t was har d to find employment and these were very sore years because Del l could on ly drive a taxi part time while he attended school. Dell had m anaged to s ave money to attend the University and had lost it when bank s failed in 1 929. The couple moved to 27th South off of 11th East wher e their first ch ild, Loralee D., was born on June 13, 1940. They then m oved to 27th Sout h behind the church on Highland Drive, where they resid ed when Dell Raymo nd was born January 18, 1942. Dell was drafted into th e army as a 1st Lie utenant serving in Riverside, California; Spokane Was hington; San Francis co; Ogden, Utah; and Sacramento, California. After t he war, Dell starte d working as a draftsman and the couple settled in Sa cramento. Vonnie con tinued to sew not only for her children but her sist er Temmie who becam e very involved in many social activities such as pro grams for social gro ups, etc. Their two children graduated from the Univ ersity of Berkeley, C alifornia – Loralee with a degree in Mathematics an d Ray with a degree i n Civil Engineering. Many sacrifices were made to s upport the children i n school as they attended Berkeley living away fro m home.
Vonnie and her sister Temmie enjoyed a choice companionship as Temmie li v ed just around the corner from Vonnie. Their lives were really intertwi ne d, each helping and enjoying the company of the other. Many days wer e spe nt visiting, shopping, swimming, and planning socials. Later, the y went o n trips together, including England, Tahiti, the Bahamas, Jamaic a, Hawaii , Cuba, Canada, Mexico, the New England states, and Washington , D.C. Som e of the most interesting sports that the girls saw in their t ravels wer e the home of Edvard Grieg where the goats at the thatch off t he roofs o f the homes, and the national dancers. They saw a thatch roo f being buil t there. Norway, home of Aagot, was a beautiful sight to beh old with th e high majestic mountains, beautiful fjords, as mother had s o often descr ibed to her children. The Fairyland Tour around Sollested , Denmark, wher e father Djalmar was born, was a highlight. Vonnie saw t he Hansen Hote l which had been owned by Rasmus Hansen Lund on Yulling Is land, the nam e being changed when the Germans marched through. Stork Isl and, where th e storks migrating from the Nile lived, was a fascinating s pot. Farmers b uilt their roofs in a V shape so the storks could build th eir nests on th e roofs.
The main island, Copenhagen, where the king lived in a palace, was so in t eresting, and the girls also saw the Summer home of the Hansens on th e is land of Bergen across the channel from England. Denmark was a fascin atin g place to vist. All the homes had red roofs and white sides as yo u appro ached from the air. The king’s guard dressed immaculately and the y had th e opportunity to see them marching.
Vonnie is currently suffering from ill health. She has osteoporosis, hea r t trouble, arthritis, and failing eyesight, but still has the same dete rm ination to do her own housework, keeping her home lovely and clean. Sh e m anages to read much less frequently her beloved historical novels an d kee p abreast of the times. The love of her family is the motivating fo rce i n her life.

Djalmar Aubrey Lund, was born June 23, 1916 of parents Aagot Marie Rand b y and Djalmar Emanuel Hansen Lund at their home at 677 West Capitol Str ee t, Salt Lake City, Utah. At the age of six, I attended the Washingto n Gra de School until I reached the seventh grade. At the age of thirtee n our f amily moved to 266 Douglas Street. In that area I attended Bryan t Junio r High School for two years then I graduated from East High Schoo l. Afte r three years of studies, I attended the University of Utah. Afte r two ye ars, I received a letter from my sister, Mrs. J.B. Brockman wh o resided i n Seattle, Washington, asking me to come there and work wit h my brother-i n-law, J.B. I worked there for a year and then returned t o Salt Lake Cit y where I worked for Snelgrove Ice Cream Company for a pe riod of three ye ars. I left that company to work for Christian Construct ion Company durin g the war years. Christian Construction was employed b y the Utah Copper M ines. My next interest was learning the trade of dent al mechanic so I wen t to work for the Salt Lake Dental Laboratory.
Our new home was located near the University of Utah so the family atten d ed the University Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Sain ts . In May 1945, while I was attending a sacrament service one Sunday , I sa t next to a medical doctor and surgeon named L.H.O. Stobbe. He ha d his su ite in the First National Bank at the corner of First South an d Main Stre et. He began asking me questions about my interests. After ta lking for so me time, he asked me to come to his office to look over hi s equipment. Th e following day, I went to his office. He had an examinin g room, two reco very rooms, a room with medical supplies, a surgery room , and a laborator y. Everything appealed to me, so he told me I could sta rt working the fol lowing week. I worked with Dr. Stobbe as a technical a ssistant until Jun e 1949.
I regularly attended the University Ward and was very interested in the i r various activities. Bishop Lynn S. Richards called me into his offic e o ne Sunday to tell me he was calling me to go on a mission. He asked m e wh at language was spoken in our home. I told him Norwegian because mot her w as the most talkative. Then he told me he was sending me to Norwa y on a m ission for the church. He asked if there was any way to financ e it. I tol d him I didn’t think so. He said that there would be a way . A few days a fter, Brother John Firmage, who was a member of the bisho pric, came to ou r home and told my parents that he wanted to pay for th e expense of my mi ssion. By the middle of July, I was on my way by trai n with ten other mis sionaries, two going to Norway, two to Denmark, thre e to Sweden and thre e to Finland. We were to travel to New York where w e would board the pass enger ship, Gripsholm, a Swedish liner. After fiv e days of travel, the Gr ipsholm entered the Swedish port of Goteborg. Th e ten missionaries spli t up and five days later traveled to their own as signed countries. My tra veling companion and I boarded a train to Oslo , Norge. There we were me t at the station by one of the district preside nts. He took us to a resta urant for dinner and then we went to the Missi on President’s Headquarters , Osterhausgarten 27. There we were assigne d sleeping quarters and staye d in Oslo for two weeks. We were assigned t o our specific towns and senio r companions. My first town was Horton , a small fishing port. I labored t here for nine months with Elder Smit h and Elder Carlston. I was then sen t to an immense valley (Odalen) or t he O valley. Skarnes was the small t own where shopping was done and bat hing. Elder Daines was my senior compa nion. We used bikes for our transp ortation. The valley was located thirt y miles north of Oslo. Here it wa s bitter cold in the winter. After nin e months, I was sent to the cit y of Kongsvinger just north of Odalen. Th e city had a small population s o it didn’t take very long to cover the ar ea. After six months the cit y was closed to missionaries.
My companion and I were sent to the city of Drammen. We labored here f o r five months, then the mission president called me into Oslo to comple t e my mission after six month. The president made arrangements for me t o s ail to New York on the liner, “Queen Mary,” a British ship. After m y si x months were over I took a trip around Norway, going to the lower s ectio n toward the coastline, visiting Tonsberg, Larvig, Arendal, Kristia nsand , Stavanger, Haugesund, and Kristiansun. It was at this place tha t I too k a sailing trip into one of the fjords. The next city I visite d was Berg en. This is about the third largest city in Norway. I stayed o ver here wi th the missionaries and we watched a parade the following day . The next c ity I visited was Hardanger. Here Elder Lowbrot, his compani on and I wen t sightseeing together. He explained all about the various p laces we visi ted. We took a boat ride through a waterway. The followin g Sunday I atten ded one of their meetings.
Leaving Hardanger, I headed further north, taking a train to Tronheim. O n e of the elders met me at the station and together we went to their res id ing place. Here I stayed overnight. The following day, the senior Elde r t old me of some beautiful falls that were located up towards the mount ains . So I thought I would take a good hike to see what it would look li ke. T he falls were fifteen feet high cascading over a steep incline. Tro nhei m is almost in the center half of Norway and at night the Northern L ight s can be viewed. They are eerie looking and very irregular in desig n an d changing from time to time.
I wanted to see Stockholm, so the following day I boarded a train for Sw e den. The oncoming countryside was thick with green foliage and tall sle nd er trees. This was a seven to eight hour train ride before reaching St ock holm. Here there were magnificent, inspiring sights. The street cafe s wer e very unique and quaint. Parts of the city were built on islands . I too k a tour on one of the sightseeing boats. On the tour the guide m entione d the King’s Palace. So afterwards I thought I would like to se e the pala ce and especially the interior. The entrance fee was only tw o and a hal f kroner. This was an exciting experience. The interior throu ghout the ha lls and rooms was exceptionally elaborate and magnificent an d very spacio us in size. The guide took us over to the throne room and w e had he oppor tunity to sit on the throne if we wished. There was a spec ial room for of ficials and clergy. After viewing all the interior we lef t the palace t o see other exciting places of Stockholm.

I, Constance Irene Lund, was born on February 17, 1923 at 677 West Capit o l Street, being the sixth child and fifth girl of my parents. All of t h e other children reported that I sounded like a little chicken being ha tc hed and have had a weak little voice ever since. Most of my mother’s b abi es were delivered in our home on West Capitol Street. The children sl ep t on a sleeping porch adjoining the kitchen and all of the commotion c oul d be heard through the open window .
To my remembrance the most vivid memories were involving accidents a n d a first spanking. When learning to crawl, I ventured into the kitche n a nd obtained a large cocoa can. With the desire of making a drink fro m th e little cocoa remaining in the can, I after long procedure reache d the f ront yard hose. Wishing to receive compliments for my accomplishm ents , I ascended the back porch stairs with the can between my hands. Fo r bal ance it was necessary that I lean my face against the edge of the c an . A bad cut resulted almost injuring my right eye. I also acquired a s ca r from an accident that occurred at our neighbor’s home. I fell again s t a red hot coal range which badly burned my left arm. It did not tak e lo ng for me to have forgotten all about it because I was showered wit h so m any gifts and attention.
When I was about four years old, I started looking for a little exciteme n t. This particular night I stood watching my father use an atomizer . I be came very engrossed in what he was doing. I stood and watched hi m and ach ed to try it myself. Luck was with me at the time for the telep hone rang . As soon as he left the room, I picked the sprayer up in my ha nds and tr ied my best to perform the operation I had been witnessing. Lu ck wasn’t w ith me this time; the sprayer slipped out of my hands into th e bathtub an d smashed in a myriad of pieces. The first thing I did was t o hide behin d the bathroom door. When Daddy discovered what had taken pl ace, he looke d all over for me. My dress probably gave me away because b efore I knew i t, I was looking into Daddy’s angry face. Then and there o ccurred my firs t spanking.
At the age of five my first playmate, Maxine Holbrook, and I attended t h e kindergarten of the Wasatch School. The first day everything seemed v er y new to us and we were a little frightened, but we soon became accust ome d to it; I fell asleep over my first drawing of a red brick house.
A year later in 1929 our family moved to 266 Douglas Street where a ne w h ouse had just been built. It was a charming house and my sisters fel t tha t this would bring them more prestige than the house on West Capito l Stre et. I think it was their urgings that convinced Mother and Dad t o move, a lthough we had one of the better homes in the neighborhood. W e attended t he University Ward. The first night spent in our new home wa s very exciti ng, including my bath which had to be taken in an old-fashi oned washtub b ecause the new one was occupied with plaster of paris. Th e next morning a fter gathering my clothes, I played with my doll in ou r backyard, and her e I met my first new friend, Afton Paul. After introd ucing ourselves, I i nvited her for tea in our new basement. It wasn’t lo ng before I was acqua inted with all of the girls in the neighborhood.
In September when school opened it was necessary that I be separated fr o m my newly-acquired playmates and attend the Wasatch School because th e f ormer school was too crowded for additional students. It wasn’t lon g befo re I met Rowena Love, who became my dearest school companion. We w alked t o and from school together every day. The teacher at the Wasatc h School w as very frightening to me. She slapped children’s hands if the y lost thei r pencil. I had my turn at this cruel punishment.
In the same year after leaving Rowena’s home, which was located on 13t h E ast between 3rd and 4th South, I was crossing the street as a car cam e sp eeding along in the opposite direction from where I was looking. Th e ca r hit me before I had gotten out of its reach. God must have been wa tchin g over me for the only injuries were a few cuts and bruises whe n I coul d have been injured seriously or killed.
In 1930 I was able to attend the second grade of the Wm M. Stewart Train i ng School located on the University of Utah campus. It was an excellen t s chool and I had many advantages attending it. I was quite a daydreame r i n my earlier years but became quite a serious student as I progresse d alo ng and enjoyed getting the attention of the teacher by raising my h and t o answer any and all questions.
On March 28, 1931 I was baptized by Golden Hansen and confirmed a memb e r of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints March 29, 1931 b y El der John W. Walker.
In August of 1935 I had the privilege of traveling to Yellowstone Nation a l Park with our family. We started our journey on a Saturday afternoo n wi th eight of us in a sedan driven by my sister, Temmie. My father an d moth er never did own a car until after all of the children left home . Gordon , my brother, and I had to make the best of the pillows and blan kets in t he back for a seat. We visited many of the geysers and stoppe d at Old Fai thful Inn, where we rented two cabins. After spending a fe w days seeing O ld Faithful Geyser and other surrounding sights and bein g visited by al l sorts of bears, we drove through the park to see all o f the beautiful v iews. Our next lodging was Fishing Bridge. Father agree d later that the n ame should be changed. My brother caught a fish wit h a bamboo pole and sa fety pin. Daddy sat from opening until late in th e afternoon watching th e educated fish keep a good yard away from the ba it. He was thoroughly di sgusted with fishing. Why should the man right n ext to him be reeling the m in by the dozen? I guess Daddy was no fisherm an. But he wasn’t empty-ha nded and he had one for a picture pose. In ou r travels, I encountered a b ear when I, covered in a fur coat, was goin g to one of the outside johns . The bear thought I was one of his crowd a nd when approaching me lost si ght of me but quick. After spending a fe w days at Fishing Bridge we drov e to the Fish Aquarium and visited Yello wstone Lake. My most memorable ex perience of the whole trip was the wa y we had to cuddle so many of us o n one bed at night.
Because of my love for music, I started taking piano lessons July 1939 f r om Mrs. Frank Page Stewart. I was very happy because I had the opportun it y of taking lessons. My sister, LaVon, had instructed prior to this ti m e and I had learned much from her. My girlfriend, Jean Paul, played th e p iano very beautifully and I used to sit and listen to her play and wi sh t hat I could play like her someday. I used to practice hour on end lo vin g every minute of it. Now and forever nothing delights me more than t o he ar beautiful music.
The fondest memories I have of my childhood are days of sewing doll clot h es for my friends. I was rather in demand in the neighborhood as a seam st ress. I would design and sew them all by hand. Summers were spent runn in g a lemonade stand, eating cherries from our neighbor’s tree, playin g far m at the Paul’s, where they had a playhouse and gravel driveway tha t mad e excellent chicken feed. We had a bench with a hole which made a p rett y productive cow when a hose was inserted in it.
During one of the lemonade sales, I was tempted to steal a nickel from t h e profits. I ran down to 12th East to the grocery store and purchased a ll -day suckers which I hid under a flowerpot. I’ll never forget the remo rs e I felt as I sat on my sister Vonnie’s knee and confessed sins. Neve r ha d the tears flowed so freely.
LaRene Fishburn, Ann Adams, Irene and Helen Jean Covey, Jean and Afton P a ul, Alan and Norma Toronto were all my dear friends at this time. We sp en t many hours dressing up in the old fashioned clothes the Torontos ha d i n a huge trunk in their attic.
Every Summer I was invited to the Paul’s cabin in Lamb’s Canyon for a f e w weeks. What a haven for children: giant swings, meadows of flowers t o r omp in, crooks and crannies to explore, goodies and the smell of foo d coo king in the crisp air on their sunporch. I will be eternally gratef ul t o the Pauls for these fond memories in my childhood. We were alway s produ cing plays. The Pauls had a velvet curtain that made a perfect st age whe n pulled for many a can-can dance and entrée act. Jean played th e music f or these productions. We produced many plays that never seeme d to materia lize into final performances. In the Fall, leaf houses wer e the attractio ns with many rooms in which to play. We had clubs of vari ous kinds. The d ance club for Junior High age in our neighborhood wa s a good opportunit y for wholesome boy and girl relationships. I was ver y proud to be the wi nner of a dance contest. My partner was Jordan Steve ns. Barry Rudine wa s my crush at this time. I used to walk down to the e nd of the block fo r the least available excuse to talk and flirt with hi m.
My Junior High days were atypical. I was very slow in maturing. I wouldn ’ t wear make-up like my friends and still wore girlish dresses. My frien d s thought I was some sort of freak and rather abandoned me at this tim e . I became very studious and received my pleasures in academic pursuit s . I was the literary editor for the yearbook in Ninth Grade. This lov e o f learning proved to be a way of life for many years to come and th e purs uit of good grades was my main goal at this time .
My sisters, trying to prepare me for the onslaught with the male specie s , lectured me and cautioned me so thoroughly about boys that I withdre w f rom them entirely. I became very studious and would even avoid them o n th e streets. However, meeting many good boys in High School, I had m y fait h gradually restored, but I was still very shy and rather than pas s the m ass of boys eyeing the girls in the upper hall, I would use the b asemen t hall as a getaway to go home. I finally did have a date – the gr aduatio n dance—with Paul Romney whom I met on the tennis courts at Eas t High Sch ool. He was a very nice boy, but not being accustomed to boys , I proved t o be a very silent partner; the whole evening I was very une asy.
I registered at the University of Utah with the intention of graduatin g i n elementary education. While attending a mutual dance with my brothe r, A ubrey, I met Fenn Nelson, who was the date of Helen Kerr, my Stewar t Scho ol friend. We were attracted to each other and he claimed it was l ove a t first sight. He was a very kind, gentle boy studying pre-dentistr y at t he U. of U. We dated for the two years he attended the U. and h e propose d to me, but I wanted to finish college before marriage.
In the meantime, I attended mutual at the University Ward, dancing eve r y Tuesday night and meeting different boys. Mrs. Etta Toronto was my Gl ea ner teacher who really built my testimony. I attained the Golden Glean e r award. I remember reading the Book of Mormon several times and report in g on it and decorating my bedroom as my greatest achievement at the ti me . Alvin Pack was my Sunday School teacher whose unique, stimulating le sso ns greatly influenced me. Bonnie and Sally Stagg were my dearest frie nd s at this time.
I later taught Sunday School under Miss Rose, who was the Junior Sunda y S chool Coordinator. She taught me many beautiful techniques with child re n on how to involve them in the lesson. Later, I was asked to be the J uni or Sunday School Coordinator and this worked well with the educatio n trai ning I was getting at the U. I remember the countless aids I use d to intr oduce songs to the children (I was the coordinator and the chor ister).
I graduated from the U. of U. in 1944 having worked my way through colle g e, running elevators, selling aluminum cookware, carhopping in the summ er s. I was fortunate enough to be a member of Psi Chi, a psychological h ono r sorority, and Lambda Delta Sigma, an L.D.S. sorority. I was rushe d by s everal social sororities, but they didn’t interest me. I couldn’ t see th e genuine purpose in them that Lambda Delta had – helping the Pr imary chi ldren’s Hospital, etc. Right after graduation, Fenn Nelson ha d been writi ng to me while he attended the University of Southern Califo rnia and cons tantly implied that he was still interested in marrying me , and so when h e started practicing in Panguitch, Utah, I told him by ph one that I was g oing to San Francisco to work for the government. I ha d been so studiou s so long that it was sort of a rebellion to do somethi ng completely fore ign to book-learning. He asked me to come down and h e planned on taking m e on a tour of the southern canyons. I realized i n seeing him again tha t he didn’t feel the same and I thought there shou ld be an understanding . He then told me he had never loved me and neve r could. This was a jol t to me and in the same breath he said I was so q uiet. He wanted me to co ntinue writing. I disagreed and boarded a bus fo r Salt Lake the next morn ing. My mother was waiting at the bus station w hen I arrived, not havin g been notified I would be coming home so soon . This was been a constan t wonderment to me—how my mother’s intuition co uld direct her to me tha t day.
Feeling that my whole world had crumbled, I went to San Francisco wit h m y subconscious constantly urging me that I must talk, talk, talk o r I wou ldn’t be liked. I realize now that this experience was good becau se it ma de me want to strive to improve my personality and my inner self . I worke d as a typist at the Presidio of San Francisco and stayed wit h my sister , Vonnie. I enjoyed my stay at my sister’s home. And she an d her family b ecame very dear to me. I especially enjoyed the wonderfu l dinners we at e at the officers’ club. Her husband, Dell, was a lieuten ant at the time . I met a lot of servicemen during my stay, being a hoste ss at the U.S.O . Many times I would bring boy friends home with me, onl y to have Vonni e ending up talking to them the rest of the evening becau se, according t o Vonnie, I froze them out.
I came back to Utah in 1946 and started working at the Tribune Informati o n Library as a typist and information operator. Later, I started takin g d ictation for the manager. Realizing at last that teaching was the mos t lu crative work, I decided to apply for a teaching job through a teachi ng ag ency. The manager offered me a raise if I would stay, but the Super intend ant of South Summit School District won me over with offers of fre e sho w tickets.
When I started for Kamas and passed through all of the little towns, I w a sn’t very impressed with them. Kamas looked like a metropolis by the ti m e I arrived. I taught first grade there three months and summer kinderg ar ten and was ready to return to Salt Lake but the Superintendant wouldn ’ t release me from my contract, so I was obligated to return in the Fal l . I felt that this was a fortunate turn of fate because I met Robert Ne el , my future husband, by doing so.
As I resided longer in Kamas and became more involved in the life ther e , I learned to love and appreciate the town and people. I roomed at th e G eorge Padfield’s with La Ree Lamb, a returned missionary. Louise room ed w ith Elizabeth Peterson at the Holts. We were all new teachers in th e vall ey and enjoyed each other’s company immensely. We planned many a p arty, p icnic, hunting party and attended mutual, high school dances, etc . Louis e played the violin and I was privileged to accompany her on th e piano se veral times. We were rather popular with the boys of the tow n and surroun ding area—I guess it was just the challenge of dating a sch oolteacher.
I met Robert Neel the last Sunday in December 1948. I was to teach scho o l the following Monday. I had returned to Kamas after the holidays. H e sp oke in Sacrament meeting, a welcome home from his North Central Stat es Mi ssion. I enjoyed his talk, but not wearing my glasses as I vainly d id s o often, I couldn’t appreciate his appearance. I met him going out t he do or and smiled at him at a fireside later that night, but I was no t overl y impressed. I was interested at the time in John Carlisle, a ne w graduat e of the U. of U. and Don Juan of the valley. I dated Don Jua n and Bob da ted Louise. The more I got to know John, the more my interes t waned. Bo b had a date with Louise to the Senior Prom and in the interi m became int erested in me. He introduced Louise to Albert Wagstaff, a ne wly-returne d missionary friend. They immediately became interested in ea ch other—s o the problem of the Senior Prom date was solved. La Ree Lamb , my roommat e started dating Alvin Gibbons, a next door neighbor. Thre e out of five o f the new teachers that year found their husbands in th e little valley o f Kamas – Louise, La Ree, and I.
I found Bob Neel so refreshing; a genuine, wholesome, thoughtful perso n i nterested in me as a person. He respected me and we immediately fel t ver y comfortable with each other. Bob’s line was on the same as Padfie ld’s s o we could keep track of each other’s activities and dates. The ni ght Bo b told me that he loved me, “even though I didn’t make sense somet imes” ( my old talk-talk-talk drive), I started feeling a sense of securi ty and c onfidence. I could finally be myself and be loved. When I told h im abou t Fenn and what he had said when we broke up, Bob said, “I’d lov e you i f you never said another word.” I felt that he had an everlastin g love fo r me.
When Bob proposed to me, I still wasn’t too interested in marriage. I h a d been hurt so deeply I wanted to be doubly sure that Bob was all I wan te d in a husband. I made my decision, making it a matter of prayer. I re tur ned to Salt Lake the following school year and Bob attended the U. o f U . I taught first grade at Holladay Elementary in 1949, first grade a t Mon roe Elementary in 1950, Whittier Elementary kindergarten in the sum mer an d first grade at Blaine Elementary in 1951.
Bob and I had a two year courtship, but I know I was directed by my Heav e nly Father to choose Bob as a mate for time and all eternity. We were m ar ried August 13, 1951 in the Salt Lake Temple. We had a wedding breakfa s t at the Beau Brummel and a wedding reception at the Art Barn. My broth er , Gordon, was best man, Joyce, his wife, matron of honor, Bonnie and S all y Stagg and Elaine Scoville, bridesmaids, Loralee Tucker, flower gir l (El aine Scoville had been a dear friend all throughout our courtship a nd end ed up going with a boy I dated before Bob came along. Elaine let u s use h er apartment for courting because my parents had not approved o f Bob beca use he was younger and an undergraduate). We all wore white . I made my we dding dress, nylon trimmed in rosettes of imported lace an d pearls. My br idesmaids dresses were of organdy with eyelet embroider y with chartreuse , peach, lavender and yellow sashes and shoes. They al l wore gloves and c arried tinted daisies to match their sashes and shoes . Right after the re ception, we knelt in prayer before our departure an d prayed that our unio n would be blessed with children. We honeymooned a t Mirror Lake. We wer e ousted by the bed bugs there, went on to Evanston , Wyoming where we sta yed in a motel, went to a show and saw the town. W e returned sooner tha n expected because we were anxious to return to ou r darling little two ro om home with basement that we had repainted, repa pered, reroofed and rede corated.
I have always believed that the following quotation should be our cree d : “I know that God will bless your union with this deep and everlastin g l ove if you keep His commandments, marry in His Holy Temple, pray cons tant ly for guidance in your marriage and keep actively engaged in His wo rk. G od is love. Keep close to God and your love for your husband, child ren an d all will grow.”
I served as a Sunday School teacher the first years of our marriage in t h e old East Millcreek Chapel. We were blessed with six beautiful childre n : Robert Clair Neel Jr born on October 12, 1952; Stuart Dee Neel, bor n o n December 8, 1953; Valerie Irene, born September 11, 1955; Peggy Daw n, b orn January 1, 1959; Stanley Trent, born September 17, 1969; and Eli zabet h Marie, born March 21, 1964.
Robert C. Jr was born while Bob was attending the University of Utah . H e was a beautiful baby and I treasured every moment with him. I had t o te ach school when he was two months old because Bob was going to gradu ate i n June of that year and we were financially in need at this time. B ob ha d been just working part time at ZCMI in the wrapping department . I taugh t at the East Millcreek School from January to May of 1953. Car oline Feh r tended Bob. I was so miserable leaving him and felt I was tor n betwee n teaching second grade and caring for my beautiful baby. He wa s a pictur e of health and nurses at the hospital had called him ”muscles ” because h e was such a man (8 lbs. 14 oz.).
Stuart Dee Neel was born December 8, 1953, weighing 6 lbs. 4 oz. – a r a y of sunshine. At the hospital, I decided along with the other girls i n m y ward to put our babies pictures in the Deseret News for their firs t bir thday. My husband said, “not this baby’s picture.” He had yellow ja undic e and was rather scrawny, but in one year’s time he was as cute a s any o f them in the news.
After Bob graduated he took care of chinchillas for Frank Stillman a s a p art time job along with his teaching. His salary at that time was $ 260 0 a year.
On September 11, 1955, we had our first girl, Valerie Irene. She was a r o und, plump little cherub weighing 8 lbs. 11 oz. Dr. Davis asked what tr ib e she belonged to because she was so ruddy and plump. Daddy was so thr ill ed with her arrival that he announced it to all the neighbors. Afte r havi ng two boys, we took great delight in making her appear feminine.
In 1957 I taught half a day of private kindergarten at the Rosecrest War d . The guilt and unhappiness I felt leaving my children to be tended pro mp ted me to think of opening a private kindergarten of my own. We starte d m aking plans to add on to our two-room house, and to use the garage an d ut ility room area for our school.
In July of 1958 construction started on our new home. My sister, Temmi e , paid off the balance of our mortgage so we could finance the construc ti on. The rooms that were kitchen, front room and bath became a spaciou s ki tchen. We added on a front room 1 x 28, family room same size undern eath , a garage and utility room with three bedrooms and a bath above. Wh en ou r home was completed, we couldn’t believe that our plans had materi alize d into such a huge area. It looked much too spacious for a struggli ng sch ool teacher.
The Playmate Kindergarten opened up as scheduled in September 1958. At l e ast the garage and utility area with adjoining bathroom was finished co mp letely at that time. I was the teacher, supervisor principal. We had c ont racts drawn up and all legal arrangements made. I had samples of al l th e materials from my experiences with the private kindergarten at Ros ecres t Ward. We had to live in this area as well as hold our school unti l th e rest of the house was completed.
Peggy Dawn was born January 1, 1959 with her finger in her mouth. I ha d L aFawn Hold substitute for me a couple of weeks and then I was back te achi ng again. Mae Evans, a neighbor, watched my new baby a few hours eac h day . That summer I took classes at the University to renew my kinderga rten c ertificate.
Our kindergarten was a great success and in 1960 we had two sessions, Ca r ol Morrison being my other teacher. We had two programs each year for p ar ents which involved major productions with the children preparing suga r c ookies with fancy decorations for refreshments. This became a traditi on a t Christmas for our family from then on. Many hours were spent makin g ind ividual costumes for all of the children.
On September 17, 1960, Stanley Trent was born, weighing 8 lbs. 11 oz., f i nally a brown-eyed boy, so precious and sweet I could hardly find a na m e good enough for him. This year I hired two teachers to teach for m e s o I could thoroughly devote my time to my new son. Carol Morrison an d Jan ice Parker taught and I just supervised our kindergarten.
In 1962 Mary Wilkinson and Carol Morrison taught for me. We found tha t w e could live very substantially on Bob’s teaching salary and the prof it s from our kindergarten.
In 1963 I taught in the afternoon and Carol Morrison taught in the morni n gs. Stanley had his naps in the afternoon and this worked out fairly we ll .
On March 21, 1964, Elizabeth Marie was born – Elizabeth after her frater n al grandmother and Marie after her maternal grandmother. I couldn’t se e s uch a sophisticated name for such a tiny, dainty girl, only 7 lbs. s o I s tayed awake half of the night trying to dream up a name suitable fo r he r and finally came up with the nickname of “Betsy.” I couldn’t belie v e I was lucky enough to have 3 boys and 3 girls. Betsy was so petite a n d darling – one nurse wanted to keep her. I was isolated with a staff i nf ection in my breast and of course no visitors were allowed, includin g th e vital statistician who never made out a birth certificate for Eliz abeth . We didn’t realize this lack of evidence of her birth until Bets y attend ed kindergarten in public school.
Carol Morrison substituted for me while I had my baby and I taught aft e r Betsy was down for her nap. Caroline Fehr tended her in the morning w hi le I taught. Stanley attended kindergarten with me so he had an earl y edu cation.
The following Fall, kindergartens were introduced in Granite School Dist r ict and Playmate School closed its doors. With its closing, Family Pre s s was born. Our garage and utility room now became a printing busines s . I started tending children in my home to help out. Rodney and Randy a n d then Kelly White, same age as Betsy, became her fast friends. Then w e a dded Don Youngberg, Scotty Nelson, Stephanie Shea, regular children a nd t hen many others by the hour. With this many children under my care , I tri ed to conduct a few hours of nursery school with them each day.
I taught first and second grade at the Crestview School in 1969 so Bob c o uld attend the U. of U. to obtain his Master’s Degree in audio-visual e du cation. Elizabeth was now old enough to attend morning kindergarten an d B ob took her with him in the afternoons to his U classes. We felt th e incr ease in salary that Bob would attain we may not have to be involve d in ad ditional work, but the printing business continued to grow and a s soon a s our boy, “Rob” got his call to go on a mission to England in N ovember , 1971, our business doubled. We were a little doubtful as to ho w we coul d meet all our financial obligations and support our son on hi s mission b ut we know now the Lord will provide a means to further his w ork here o n the earth. What a glorious blessing this mission was – not o nly for ou r son but for all of us to share his experiences through his l etters.
As soon as “Rob” returned, Stuart left on a mission to Germany in 1974.
In November 1977 we purchased a beauty business, calling it the “Hair-Um . ” Our daughter, Peggy, had graduated from beauty college and had been w or king at this shop when she learned that it was going to be sold. She t alk ed her father into buying the business and then we were involved in a noth er sideline. I tried to clean and maintain the shop for Peggy, whil e sh e was the manager. This was a real education for Peggy. Later, I too k ove r the management of the shop and continued to clean and maintain it .
Stanley served a mission in Taiwan in 1979, serving an honorable missio n , as did our two other boys.
The printing business seemed to prosper to support our missionaries. I t r ied to help as much as I could with the financial end of the business . Mo st of my time was devoted to tending my grandchildren, Shauni and Je nife r for Valerie, while her husband, Scott attended the University of U tah t o pursue his studies in pharmacy.
I held many varied positions in the church during the years: sunday scho o l teacher, primary teacher, inservice leader for our ward and the Eas t Mi llcreek Stake Primary with Aletha Barr, Mary Mendenhall, Beth Gonzal os an d Gloria Crump; then 2nd counselor to Aletha Barr in 1967 and 1st c ounsel or in 1968. I was a junior Sunday school chorister from 1969-1970 , a libr arian for the Sunday School in June, 1971, giving me time for te mple wor k and religion classes at the Institute of Religion, and a Libra rian in t he primary in 1972. I then taught the sunbeams and the CTR clas ses.
In 1975 I was a Merrie Miss B teacher and held this position until 197 9 w hen I taught the Nursery for the Relief Society. I was called to b e a Rel ief Society Education Counselor in 1980 and served with Carol Bar th, Fay e Olson, Janice Margetts. All of my positions have been rewarding . I hav e developed so much from accepting these callings. I know of a su rety tha t the Lord will bless you with the talents you need to execute y our assig nments. Anything is possible with the Lord as your partner. I d o love th e Lord so much and feel that I will always accept any call tha t I am aske d to do. I could never repay the Lord in time, talents or sub stance for a ll He has done for me in sacrificing his life and time in sh owing us th e way.

I was born on January 13, 1925 in Salt Lake City, Utah at 677 West Capit o l Street in a modest home. My father was Djalmar Emanuel Lund and my mo th er, Aagot Marie Randby. I weighed 13 lbs. 2 oz. My mother was 41 at th e t ime. I have 5 sisters and 1 brother. Connie is 2 years older than me , Aub rey 10 years older, LaVon 12 years older, Margot 14 years older, Te mmie 1 6 years older and Vange 18 years older. Temmie was our Santa Clau s and t he provider of all the frills. If there were any sort of gifts, o r mone y spent on anything other than the basics, Temmie provided. Fathe r and Mo ther spoke better Scandahoovian (which is a mixture of English a nd severa l Scandinavian languages) than they did English. I also picke d up some Sc andahoovian. I don’t think my mother ever could write Englis h .
When I was 4 years old, we moved to 266 Douglas Street which we consider e d to be located in a rich neighborhood. We had many professional peopl e l iving around us as neighbors. Our home was about 2 blocks away from t he U niversity of Utah.
When I was 5 years old, I was run over by an automobile. It happened o n 1 3th East Street. I was going to the store for a neighbor who gave m e an I ndian head penny for going. I was headed across 2nd South and obvi ously d arted across the street without looking and both wheels of the ca r went o ver my body and right leg. The story goes that I almost lost m y leg and w as going to die. Dad prayed and all and I came out of it wit h a scar on m y leg, scars on my face, and my right leg is an inch shorte r that the oth er. I am sure I was administered to. I was baptized on th e 4th of Novembe r 1933 by my father, Djalmar E. Lund .
I didn’t have much time for hobbies or interests because we didn’t hav e e nough money to go around. My dad lost his job at Western Savings an d Loa n as the head bookkeeper during the depression, and after tried sel ling i nsurance to make ends meet. When I was 7 or 8 I had a regular rout e selli ng magazines. I also sold homemade candy for a graduate student a t the U . of U. and his wife. Then I had about 10 lawns that I mowed an d some o f them that I watered. One of them was Stephen Covey’s parents.
I think I was a good student. I probably was a B+ or A- student. I don ’ t remember a lot of homework, but we had a lot of other things we ha d t o do to in providing another source of income for the family. We al l ha d to have part-time jobs in order to make ends meet because of the d epres sion.
In school, I played football and some track in discus, shot, and javeli n . I was a year ahead of where I was supposed to be somehow. I thorough l y enjoyed school as a child. I enjoyed grade school and junior high . I we nt to the Stewart grade school, which was a teaching facility of t he U. o f U. They had a very small student body. All the teachers were wo rking to ward getting their degree. It was sort of an experimental thing . We had v ery small classes, and it was considered to be a great honor t o be chose n to go there. It wasn’t any great honor in our case; we jus t lived withi n the boundaries, but a lot of people wished they could g o there becaus e it was so small and we received special attention. We li ved 1 ½ block s from it. I have no bad memories at all of grade school. E verything wa s fine; we had a lot of fun. We had a good bunch of kids, th ey were all r ich, I was the poorest one there, but it didn’t seem to mat ter; we all bl ended in very nicely. Several of us elected to go to Roos evelt Junior Hi gh, which was about two miles away. There were no schoo l buses and we ha d to walk. It was ridiculous to go that far.
I started going with Pat Wilkins. Her dad was one of the richest men i n U tah at the time. He was head legal counsel for U.S. Steel. They live d i n a house up on Military Way. It later became one of the official bui ldin gs of the U. of U. when they moved. She was one of my last adventure s i n that regard.
I attended East High School. I set the trend on clothes to wear to schoo l . I was on the football team; you wore levis and an old sweater and hob na il boots and that was it. So I wore the same pants and the same sweat e r I think for 2 or 3 years. My recollections of High School were grea t ex cept for the money thing again. We had no car and I had to line u p a rid e before I could get a date.
I had part time jobs and I was the night watchman in a residential hot e l (the Ambassador) in town. I worked from 11 pm till 7am. That made dat in g tough. In fact, it made it real tough because I had to go to work a t 1 1 o’clock. Sometimes I had a little trouble getting enough sleep, bu t I h ad time to get some homework done and do some sleeping. I had to t ake th e time clock around and punch it on different floors, but I’d loc k up th e building shortly after I got there and I’d also open it up at m aybe 5 i n the morning to let the milkman and paperboy and all in. It was n’t tha t difficult. I was 16 or 17 at the time.
When I graduated from high school, I went to the U. of U. Of course Wor l d War II had broken out and everyone was going to go to war and there w a s no sense in making plans for anything. I was 16 ½ when I started at t h e U. We all signed up for a branch of the service we would like to go i nt o when we reached the right age which I guess was 18 .
I finished 1 ½ years at the U. and then things got tough. The Navy sai d , “You’re all V12 coming in now.” We weren’t even 18 yet. Then we all g o t sworn in and I joined the V12 program which was an officers trainin g pr ogram with continued education until you got your degree and then yo u wer e an officer and shipped overseas immediately. The University of Co lorad o at Boulder was where they sent our particular group. It was all m ilitar y. There must have been 5000 of us Navy, AF, Army, and Marines. Th ey ha d a Japanese language school, a cooks and bakers school and durin g that t ime I was playing football. I got over to Boulder and though t I was goin g to have a pretty easy time with football because everyon e was off in th e service. I got over there and I remember going to sig n up and they pu t me in the 15th squad; they had that many football play ers. They had All -Americans from all over. It was sort of the headquarte rs for all the ath letes for some reason or other. There I was on the 15t h squad; they thre w me an old baseball shirt and said go down to the boo nies, which was lik e 2 miles away at one of the practice fields. Believ e me it took a long t ime to work our way back up to campus to get up t o school. The first gam e I played in was against the U. of U. all the “ sickies” were playing fo r the U. because they didn’t have any of the ser vice people there. It wa s made primarily up of 4-Fs and male cheerleader s. I remember Warren Stac k was a cheerleader when I left and when I go t in there he was one of th e star performers on the football team.
From there I was shipped to a mental hospital; it was a rehabilitation h o spital up in the Rockies to wait there to see if I was going oversea s i n the Hospital Corps or go on to med school. I was up there for 9 mon th s at a Navy convalescent hospital on bedpan patrol.
The commanding officer pulled some strings with the dean of the medica l s chool at Temple University in Philadelphia where they were starting a ccel erated classes because of the war. All of a sudden I was on a troo p trai n going to Philadelphia to go to med school. It was great back the re. W e had officers uniforms and good pay, more money than I had ever se en. Pl us clothes and all tuition and books paid. It was a fantastic deal . Bu t 2 months later the war ended and they kicked us all out. I couldn’ t aff ord to continue so I went back to Salt Lake.
I got a job working for Salt Lake Transfer driving a truck. I started da t ing in earnest. I had broken up with Pat, realizing I couldn’t provid e fo r her in the fashion she was accustomed. I kept seeing this same gir l whe never I dated. I thought, boy, she really must be popular. Well,i t turne d out there were two of them, Jean and my Joyce. I dated Joyce an d on th e 2nd date I decided to ask her to marry me, after telling her th at I wa s reformed and was going to Priesthood meeting and wanted to go o n a miss ion. Three months later we were married on August 25, 1947 in th e Salt La ke Temple.
Shortly after we were married, I had to rush back to Philadelphia to g e t back to med school. I didn’t have any money and had odd jobs befor e I g ot married. I ran the elevator in the hospital; worked in Breyers i ce cre am factory at night packing ice cream. The tuition and books wer e reall y high. Six months later we were coming home from our last socia l event o f the year because Joyce was becoming heavy with child, to fin d that we h ad been robbed. I think the excitement brought on ruptured me mbranes, s o we took her to the hospital. She was 6 ½ months pregnant. I t was horrib ly expensive to be in the hospital and of course they couldn ’t do anythin g for her except try to hold onto the baby which meant sh e had to lie fla t on her back and do nothing. In the meantime we had tho se hospital bill s building up.
After a couple of weeks, we couldn’t take that any more financially , s o I told the hospital that I would take her home and change the sheet s my self at home. We walked the 1 ½ blocks from the hospital. We were PO OR . I was even selling blood. Joyce was 7 ½ months pregnant when we wen t ba ck to the hospital the second time and Pat was born. She was in th e incub ator for 1 month (more expense of course).
Things got really tough financially, the real squeeze was on. I couldn ’ t finish school. The chief of obstetrics who delivered Pat had a frien d w ho worked for a small pharmaceutical firm in Philadelphia called Smit h, K line and French (SKF). I went to work for them and I decided to go i nto s ales.
I had my choice of place. We decided on Atlanta. We were there for a f e w months when the guy that had interviewed me for the job in medical re se arch came down and said
