For a time the family lived in the Henry Eyring home as the Eyrings were away on scientific business. It was there on a Sunday morning while getting ready for church that they heard the announcement by radio that Pearl Harbor had been bombed. This marked the beginning of World War II for the United States. After high school graduation, Norma worked for a time for Geneva Steel as a typist earning enough money to go to school to fulfill her life long dream of going to college and becoming a nurse. She attended Brigham Young University taking undergraduate classes. At that time Brigham Young University did not have a nursing program, so she applied and was admitted into the School of Nursing at The University of Utah. It was while there that she joined the Military Nursing Cadet Program and graduated as a Registered Nurse. She described that day as one of the happiest days of her life. She loved taking care of the sick as a nurse and felt blessed to be able to help people in that way. She met her husband, Cline Durfey, while working at the BYU Health Center. They were married for time and all eternity June 4, 1951 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They enjoyed 60 very happy and adventurous years together.

They served a Genealogy Mission in Harrisburg Pennsylvania, two Temple Missions in the St. George Temple and as the East Stake Employment Specialists. She spent many happy times traveling around the USA and throughout the world with Cline. Her favorite place to visit was the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem. She loved her family and the gospel of Jesus Christ and wanted to be honest and always do what was right. Wherever she was it was her desire to give service to others. Norma was truly an elect daughter of God, a beautiful and choice spirit who was deeply loved and will be dearly missed by all.

His translations have appeared in such academic journals as Japanese Economic Studies, and he has delivered scholarly papers before such groups as the Association for Asian Studies and the BYU Studies Symposium. Mark was an educator. He retired in May 2007 as an instructor of Japanese and of English as a second language (ESL) at Wasatch Academy, in Mt. Pleasant, Utah, where he chaired the ESL Department. He taught Japanese at Salt Lake Community College, Utah Valley State College, Brigham Young University and the University of Utah. He also taught educational psychology at BYU.

National Association of Laboratory Schools Collection, (1926-2004) COLL MSS 287. Historical Note: In 1958, the Laboratory School Administrators Association (LSAA) was founded and sought to oversee the growth and promotion of lab schools across the nation. The first president of LSAA was Avard A. Rigby, then of Brigham Young University Laboratory Schools. In its early years, LSAA faced challenges due to a lack of funding and a small staff. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, discussions were held on how to improve the organization. In 1971, LSAA changed its name to the National Association of Laboratory Schools (NALS). By 1974, new by-laws were in place, the organizational structure was revamped, and the title of NALS was officially adopted. Currently, NALS has 100 laboratory school members, and sponsors an annual national conference.
