The Cowboy and the Cheerleader. He came to BY High School from a southern Utah ranch. Blue eyes and a cowboy hat. She was a cheerleader, leaping and thumping, hollering a cheer familiar in those days, "Hold that line." Over in 250A he did not glide out on the dance floor, where Gordon Bullock dipped amazingly. In College Hall when the lights shone on the stage, our cowboy didn't stride out there. He was the one up in the rafters making the lights work. She did notice that downstairs by the rattling lockers he was the one making others laugh. And he was awfully handsome. Maybe he could be taught to dance, she thought. He fetched her for the prom in a pickup truck, bringing a sagebrush corsage. That summer he sent a letter from his ranch, enclosing a horny toad. They went camping, and he made fire out of rocks. He could fix anything with his strong hands, hands that were gentle when they touched. But she was a proud sixteen. No man touched her lips. Then one night in a bus station in Monticello, under his desert stars, the cowboy kissed her with his soft lips. It meant forever, although they didn't know that then. They went their diverse ways, the cheerleader cartwheeling off to a life in the East, the cowboy riding back to his red rock ranch. For twenty-two years they did not meet. She had long given up cheerleading, seeing her BY High days as dust. The school buildings crumbled, glass in shards, gone to the dogs. Then something happened. Brave souls wouldn't allow such a death, willing to be chained in front of a bulldozer first. And the cowboy went to find the cheerleader. She was there. Who was this gentleman in cowboy boots? But the blue eyes. The smile. It was that sexy cowboy. A friend from long ago. They now live up the street from Academy Square, with its polished windows, Internet hookups, a world of cyberspace unimaginable once. Yet the same walls stand. The red roof is restored. And the beehive out front surely remembers students gathering there, a cheerleader swinging her legs from the edge, eating a cone from University Dairy, noticing the boy from southern Utah, thinking he would be nice to know.

"I was born on August 8, 1938 in Provo. In 1940 our family moved to Long Island, New York. When I was a little kid I was very interested in living creatures: frogs, tadpoles, caterpillars, elvers (baby eels) and such. Near where we lived in Manhasset, Long Island, there was a very small pool called Dencher’s Pond. It was my favorite place, lots of neat stuff there, frogs, pollywogs, dragonflies and turtles. My father, bless his heart, wanted to encourage me. My mother was more skeptical. He made me some books by looking through old National Geographic magazines at a used book store, and buying the ones with biology-type subjects. He removed the articles and put them in little folders with titles. My favorite one, from the March 1931 issue, was an article about tropical fish written by a woman named Ida Mellen. It was my treasure. I still have it. Sort of. When we moved to Utah in 1946 I switched to more dry land biology. I was intrigued by lizards and snakes because they seemed so exotic after New York. (This was to later have a negative impact on my social standing.) My cousin, Gunner Knight, lived right across the street, and we had many choice adventures in the mountains to the east. How many little kids have lived close enough to a mountain wilderness paradise that they could go from home on foot and in a few minutes be among all kinds of wildlife, and hugely rugged mountain terrain right out of a western movie? It was the best of times. I was substantially traumatized by the educational system. I rarely ever got good reviews for my efforts. I did have one good day in the second grade at Plandome Road School, Manhasset. Miss Marquardt got a bucket of water and passed out a lump of modeling clay to each student and asked us to make a boat that would float. Fortunately, I was always a little slow at getting things done so most of the kids got their boats done first. It was 1944, so the kids made battleships and cruisers. And the battleships and cruisers made like submarines, and sank like a stone. I could see that something else was needed. I made a boat like a bowl and mirabile dictu, my boat floated! I was for one day the valedictorian. It is unfortunate when your academic career peaks before the end of the year, especially in the second grade. I was recently reading some old letters between my parents from that year, and they were discussing my school work. It seems that by the end of the year Miss Marquardt had forgotten about the boat. In Provo, I started in the Third Grade with Alice Jones (a truly kind-hearted woman) and in Fourth Grade was taught by Ida Liechty. In the Fifth Grade there were several teachers, one of them named Vera (I have forgotten her last name, Nielsen, maybe?) and Harold Devello Whatcott in the Sixth. One day in the 1980s, Vera visited the Provo Rotary Club to talk about something to do with the educational system. I recognized her and spoke to her and she confirmed that she had indeed been my teacher. It had been her first year teaching and I guess somehow having me for a student had made her question her career choice. She became visibly angry during our conversation. In the summer between my junior and senior year at BYH, I turned seventeen and joined the Utah National Guard. I’m not quite sure why. This was very educational. The influences that I had been protected from at BYH were present in abundance in the 145th Field Artillery. There were some good soldiers there but plenty of shady characters as well. I got enmeshed in some pretty bad behavior and there were some misadventures that I cannot quite describe, even now. I eventually realized something needed to change. Maybe I started to remember my life with the good people at BYH. In the summer of 1959, I was dating a woman who was a sort of an angel of mercy. Her example persuaded me to read the Book of Mormon. I had a copy, the fifty-cent missionary kind, that I had to buy for a class at BYU. (True to form, I had gotten a "D" in the class.) I read the book in a few days. I tried the promise in Moroni 10:4. This was August 1959. In February, 1960, I was on a plane going to France. Life was never the same after this. Near the end of my mission my companion was Gary Henderson, BYH class of 1960. At this time I became acquainted with Lucette Robin, who was already a member of the church. I arranged to meet her after my mission and we were married in the Cardston Temple five months after I got home, February 16, 1963. While we were living in New York my father never did any fishing. As soon as we arrived in Utah, he got back to the fishing he used to enjoy so much. In the summer of 1946 we went up Manti Canyon, to Pole Haven Creek, a truly tiny little stream. In a place where the water came out of a culvert under the road there was a small pool. My dad coached me with a fly rod and I pulled out a trout, one about eight inches long. The fish wasn’t the only one that got hooked. I have been a fisherman ever since. One of my favorite places to fish was a small lake in Manti Canyon called Yearn’s Reservoir. At different times I have fished there with Kaye Johnson-Ivie, Russell and Earl Jackson, and Rod Despain, all from BY High. Some years later, the fishing adventures shifted to Mexico. I started taking a boat to the Sea of Cortez, hauling the boat all the way from Utah to Guaymas, Mexico, and then later we started going to places on the other side, on Baja California. The Sea of Cortez is much more protected than the rest of the Pacific Coast. It is easy to explore in a small boat, sea life is everywhere, and the weather is usually calm. One time we were out in a small boat and we experienced a chubasco, gale force winds that lasted 22 hours. We spent the night sleeping on a beach in a semi-protected cove, and the next morning the wind was still blowing. Another time we encountered Fin Whales, among the largest of whales, seventy-five-feet long, about the same size and weight as a semi-truck. We boated to within just a few feet of them -- what a sight. I continued to be traumatized by the formal education process, even in high school. I was happy and relieved when grace prevailed and they let me graduate from BY High in 1956. Even though I didn’t like school, I always thought well of most of the teachers, better than they generally thought of me. When Preston Bissell stopped by our store to remind me about the ten-year reunion, I told him there was no way in ---- that I would go! Some years later, our daughter Colleen was in a junior high in Orem that was under the control of a very bad teen-age sub-culture. At that point I began to realize that good ’ole BY High had actually been a good place for me, and that I had taken away a lot more good than I ever contributed. There are times when I wish I could do it again. I really do now feel great affection for my fellow BY High students. I spent much of my life working at Allen’s Camera, having the good fortune to be the SOB (son of the boss), and now my sons are running the operation. In more recent years, I have returned to my childhood. I am now operating a small tropical fish hatchery in Salem, Utah. Lucette and I have six children and thirteen grandchildren, the latest being Colleen’s two sensational twin girls born on January 6th of this year [2006]." @2006
