We both attended college, acquired some knowledge but never did get a degree. Keith
always says he graduated from the school of hard knocks but it took 2 years longer than
it should have.

We married in 1988 and one year later were sealed in the Salt Lake temple to our oldest
daughter Alexandra (aka Alexan, Alex, Al or Ali as she goes by now). We then were
blessed with 6 other children McKenzie, Taylor, Ashlyn, Hayden, and twins Mitchell and
Maxwell who was stillborn.

Keith owns his own business doing landscaping as a landscape contractor. Kim works at
home for the UofU in scheduling.

We have six beautiful grandchildren from 4 years old to 8 months. We had 3 grand
babies born last summer all within a seven-week time frame. So much fun.

We are enjoying life in an empty house for the most part. Our kids lives change
frequently which brings them back to us for a short times as needed.

Pat & Carol Guzman

Ken & Lona Hess

“Some are royal in name. Others have royal possessions. Rare are they who live royal in thought and action and greatness.” Anonymous

Ken and Lona Hess are royal in family and action and name and thought and goodness! Sister Hess (Lona) was born in Price and lived in Helper where, as members of the Church, they were in a minority because most of the miners were Catholic! When she was 10, the family moved to Grace, Idaho and then to Bountiful where she attended South Davis Junior High which is now Bountiful Jr. High. We perceive that she was the darling of everywhere she lived, for once a darling, always a darling!

She attended Bountiful High School and worked at the Dairy Queen on Main Street. One day a few months before she was graduated, this very tall, handsome and everso strong guy ate at Dairy Queen. This tall, handsome guy’s friend espied a very cute girl working and decided to set up a blind date. Wow! Whatta guy! Whatta girl! Ken (as in Ken Hess) and Lona hit it off and got married that August! They were a beautiful pair who had 4 handsome boys and a most beautiful girl!

Lona majored in life as a fantastic Mom, taking all of her athletic children to baseball and softball and church and football and basketball and dance and church and then some church, which led Mark (yes! Our very own Mark Hess!) to a mission in England, Brian a mission to Holland, Mike to South Korea, Heidi to Detroit and David to San Jose. Wow. What a legacy! Now they have 15 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild.

We might mention that when Lona was 18, her father was killed in a work accident leaving Lona’s mother with 5 children at home, the youngest 13 months! Lona and Ken spent much time helping raise Lona’s siblings while they were raising their own fantastic children.

And, Sister Hess held nearly every church position possible while being mother and wife and chauffeur of the year!

Lest you think we have forgotten Bro Hess (Ken), he was born in Salt Lake and was famous playing football and baseball and basketball. If we had 29 pages available, we could start telling you about his great athletic exploits, but he is not a braggart about being one of the best athletes, ever, anywhere, any time.

After a great high school athletic career, he went to Utah State for a quarter, but realized that he loved working, and became a commercial bricklayer which means he was strong and steady and reliable and straight! He served 8 years in the National Guard and built their first home, a beautiful brick home just each of Pace’s Drive-In, and was as handy a man as there could be!

Ken’s great grandfather (and father of 63 children!) was the bishop in Farmington when the first Primary was started and that compassion passed through the years so that for twenty years after they retired, Ken and Lona went on a mission to Armenia; then served on Temple Square; then went on a mission to Perth, Australia; then to Temple Square and finally to Nauvoo where Ken built and repaired and fixed and Lona was a hostess and dancer/singer at night. It was great! In all, they served 20 years straight on missions.

They are a royal family!

Norm & Karla (Nielson) Hess

Karla was raised in Clinton, Utah and her parents, Onzlow and Lousie (Lyman) Nielson grew up in the town of Oak City, close to Delta. Oak City was always a special place for the Nielson’s because my mother and father created a fantastic tradition of annual family reunions. We pretty much lived a ‘free-range’ childhood!

Norm and I met at Weber State College at an LDSSA dance. After 18-months, we were married in the Salt Lake Temple. This year we will celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary! We have three sons, Brian, Steven, and David. They are all married and we have 12-grandchildren. I was a full-time mother, until all the kids were in school. After that, I worked part-time for Tanner Clinic, Union Pacific Railroad, America West Airlines, and thirteen-years at the Woman’s Avenue Center supporting five OBGYN doctors; this was probably my favorite job.

Norm completed his BS degree in Chemistry in 1977 and eventually worked in technical field sales, specializing in water and its industrial applications. He retired from General Electric in 2017 and worked for SUEZ for an additional two years. We submitted our papers in July 2019 and we received our call to the Honolulu Hawaii Mission shortly thereafter. Our mission was one of the highlights of our life. We loved the members, the investigators, and our missionaries in Hawaii.

We love our time with our grandchildren and our sons and daughters-in-law. We love boating and have spent many special days with friends and family on the water. We have traveled to China, Australia, Mexico, Canada, and Hawaii. We hope to travel to Europe, Israel, and Egypt someday, if things can ever return to a peaceful state.

Brandon & Heather (Jenson) Hodge

Brandon was born and lived his childhood in Fontana, CA. When his mother remarried, they moved to Mink Creek, ID where he spent his teenage years.

We both love spending time and vacationing with our two sons and two married daughters and son-in-laws and one grandchild. Lauren & Cayleb and 11-month-old Beau Peck, Bri & Zac, Lincoln who is preparing for his mission to Anchorage, Alaska at the end of July, and Benjamin who will be in 9th grade this year and enjoys playing football, skateboarding, playing guitar and learning to drive.

Dale & Linda (Christensen) Muir

Dale was born in Logan, UT but lived in Murray most of his life. He and Linda both attended Murray
High but met on a blind date. When Dale found out they shared the same birthday (he turned 2 the day she was born), he decided she was “the one” since he would never forget her birthday. They married in the Salt Lake Temple and will celebrate their 50th anniversary this September.

Midvale, and Bountiful. They have 3 sons and are delighted to have 3 daughters-in law, and 11 grandchildren.

Dale got a scholarship to Utah-Tech but knew more than the professor, so he went to work and
received on the job training. He and a friend who was a welder started their business, High-Tech
Quality Manufacturing in 1983. The products they build are used world-wide and cater to the medical
industry.

She also makes a really good coconut cream pie. They hope to serve a mission together
someday!

Gary & Annette Nelson

Annette (Rohwer) has always been a stay-at-home gal. She was born and raised in Bountiful. Gary, on
the other hand, can’t be in one place for longer than a couple of hours without going stir-crazy. He
was born in Provo shortly before his dad’s work took them to California, New Jersey, Chicago, and
Texas – all before going away to school and serving a mission in Chile.

Gary and Annette met at BYU, and within a handful of months, were married and living in Texas.
They returned to Utah to finish school at the University of Utah, then went back to Texas after
graduating. As other opportunities arose, they moved back to Utah where Gary began his career in
college publishing. They had 5 fun years in Chicago before returning to Bountiful. Paper publishing
evolved into publishing materials online and Gary and Annette have been able to stay put ever since.

They have four boys that were raised in this ward: Eric, who lives with his family of 6 in Virginia;
Matt, who lives with his family of 4 in Bountiful; Adam, who lives with his family of 6 in Bountiful;
and Mike, who lives with his family of 5 in Nashville.

Annette likes to quilt and track down her ancestors. Her favorite place to be is with family at the
beach. Gary enjoys hiking, reading non-fiction, football, and any kind of activity that includes the
kids and grandkids. Together, they both absolutely love working at the Temple.

Together, their biggest claim to fame is being grandparents to 13 amazing kids. Individually,
Annette’s fast typing and wallpaper removal skills are pretty impressive, and Gary won a Betty
Crocker Scholarship to college (he was probably the only person that applied for it, but that’s
beside the point).

Mark & Marcie Southwick Nelson

Oklahoma and then moved to Portland Oregon for Pedonistry school. After graduation we moved
back and settled in Bountiful.

We have 5 children. Three are married and live in Utah. We currently have seven grandchildren and
are hoping for more someday.

We have loved to travel over the years and have visited over seventy countries. We are currently
trying to visit all the national parks and are really enjoying the road trips through the country.
We both enjoy playing pickleball. Mark loves to golf and can build or fix about anything around the
house and yard. I enjoy being a homemaker minus the meal making. I also enjoy listening to podcasts and books.

Mark’s claim to fame may be when he landed a plane on the highway in Arizona. Ask him or daughter Kate about it sometime.

bishop.

Derek and Bonnie have two sons, Davis and Luke. Their boys were both married in 2021, four
months apart, so they became empty nesters overnight. Davis and his wife Ashely are expecting their first child making Derek and Bonnie first time grandparents this coming February.

Derek served in the Korea Seoul mission where he learned to like squid and other strange seafood. He spent many years in scouting and was awarded the Silver Beaver. Derek’s claim to fame is that he

Shirley was born at Fort Bragg, North Carolina and has lived all over the country. Jon is a Utah kid with a long line of Mormon Pioneer heritage. He was born in Ogden, Utah.

After college Jon played AAA baseball for the New York Mets in
Jacksonville, Florida, and was the recipient of the minor league Silver Glove Award for his outstanding year as an outfielder.

Shirley was a flight attendant for what is now Delta Airlines in the days when they were called 'Stewardesses" a prestigious and coveted career for a woman in the 60's. (There were age and weight restrictions in the beginning of the jet age, and no men allowed.)

They have been married for 57 years and have lived on the corner of Chokecherry and Bluebell for the past 43 years.

Jon coached basketball and baseball at Bountiful High School, where he had the pleasure of coaching David Beck, Mark Nelson and Ted Tueller among others. After coaching Jon became a sales rep for Procter and Gamble, then a district manager for Johnson & Johnson, followed by 23 years as a

Craig and Becky Parry

Craig and Becky Davis Parry were married in 1989, an arranged marriage by their fathers who
had known each other since high school. Becky brought a car, a computer, and a college degree (BYU, business) to the marriage. Craig brought $17.25.

After Craig graduated from BYU with a degree in international business, they moved to Boston where Craig attended Harvard Law School and their first two sons, Evan and Jake, were born.

Taking a year leave of absence from school, Craig, Becky, and Evan moved to Tokyo where Craig worked for an international law firm. Craig speaks Japanese from his mission to Nagoya, Japan. Becky learned enough Japanese to say, “I prefer cooked to raw.” Following law school graduation and a one-year federal court clerkship, the family returned to Utah, where Caroline, Sam, and Isaac were born.

Although Craig grew up with a love of tennis, once playing Andre Agassi to a close loss, their
children preferred bats and footballs to racquets. Date night for Craig and Becky for 20 years
was a child’s baseball or football game – or free tickets for Craig and the kids to a Jazz game
when Becky worked as one of two official scorekeepers for the Jazz for 10+ years.

The family has always loved travel. When the kids were living at home, family trips included
watching games in all 30 major league baseball stadiums, as well as to All-Star and World Series games. Craig and Becky have visited 49 states and almost 70 countries on vacation and work-related travel. And in any state or foreign country, if Becky is within striking distance of a temple, you will find her worshipping there (but still in time to make the first pitch).

They have four grandchildren under the age of six and look forward to many more grandchildren and date nights at the ballpark.

Ralph & Annette (DaBell) Pond

Annette was born in Salt Lake City, Utah but was raised in Bountiful, Utah. She only lived in one other home in Bountiful before moving to the house she was raised in from age 3 on. She attended 3 different Elementary schools in Bountiful, attended South Davis Jr. High, Woods Cross HS (when it opened, only 9th and 10th grades attended) and then Bountiful High. She graduated from BYU with a degree in English and History Education. She was a stay at home mom, but when the girls were raised, she taught English to 5th and 6th graders at Utah Online School for 10 years.

Ralph and Annette met while in 9th grade at WX. They were boyfriend/girlfriend at age 15, but couldn’t date. Ralph used to ride his bike to Annette’s house. Her dad didn’t like him much at the time. Being the only girl, her dad was very protective!

After HS, Ralph went to Ricks College in Idaho where he played football. He blew out his knee during the final game of the season, thus ending his football dreams. Ralph served a mission in the California Sacramento Mission. When he returned they could finally date for real! Now her dad really liked him. Ralph spent time at LDS Business College, studying accounting, Trade Tech at SLCC learning to be a plumber like his dad, and then University of Utah for more accounting. Ralph worked for his dad at Pond’s Plumbing before buying him out and continuing on with and without his brothers.

Sam & Sarah Kelley Poulton

Eat your heart out you Pizza Chefs—One of Sam’s hobbies is making exceptional Neapolitan pizza! He uses Buffalo mozzarella cheese, fresh tomatoes in the marinara sauce, just the right basil and plenty of olive oil. He has a home pizza oven that bakes at 950 degrees, just what the Neapolitan style requires.

And eat your heart out you Green Thumbers—Sarah is a professional horticulturist who studied Land Management and Conservation at the U, specializes in ornamental landscape, apprenticed at the gardens in West Jordan and is currently employed as a horticulturist for a Lehi business.

The talented pair also share an athletic passion—they both play soccer in a Salt Lake City Rec League. Sarah modestly says she follows Sam’s lead on the soccer pitch although her athleticism speaks for itself.

Sam enjoys basketball, too. You can stop by and chat while he shoots baskets and plays pick up ball on the Ridgewood court.

Sarah and Sam met at the U. Sam now has two degrees from the school, most recently his M.S. in Mechanical Engineering. Sam works at Edwards Life Sciences in Draper. Sam helps the firm design and build cardiovascular valves, catheters, and other heart and life preserving medical devices.

Sarah is a Utah girl; she grew up in Draper. Her family name, Kelley, correctly indicates her Irish heritage; She retains the Kelley family name. In addition to her Irish heritage, Sarah is very proud of her Choctaw heritage. Sarah’s grandfather
was a proud Choctaw. His mother lived on the Choctaw reservation in Oklahoma.

Sam is a Utah boy, growing up nearby in Bountiful. He has also lived in Charlotte, N.C., and in Argentina—both locations as an LDS missionary. Sam has also lived in Northern Virginia, where he served a coveted NASA internship in Aerospace Engineering.

Sarah and Sam both enjoy traveling. Day-to-day, they enjoy their adorable puppy, Blue, a Maltese Poodle mix.

What do the next, say, five years hold for Sarah and Sam? Of course, they look forward to owning their own home—not that the current market and interest rates are making that any easier. And children may be in the offing, too…. Those kids would enliven the world as Sam and Sarah do now.
