[Provo Daily Herald, April 12, 2016] ~ ~ ~ ~ HER EXTENDED LIFE SKETCH: Wyla Camenish Rollins. On the 17th of December 1929 in Chicago, Illinois, during the fifth largest winter storm ever recorded in that area, new father Edwin Camenish braved the storm on foot to visit his wife, Mary Lucile Russell, at the Hospital, and his third little daughter born to him and Mary. They named this little winter sprite Wyla Camenish. She was a beautiful baby with lots of dark hair and a cherubic face. The Ed and Mary Camenish family, comprised of parents and four daughters, Lucile, Valene, Wyla and Kay, moved from Chicago to Salt Lake City, Utah during the Great Depression. They stayed with Mary's parents, Harry Hale Russell and Dollie Elizabeth McEntire, while their farm home in Provo, Utah was being made ready for them to occupy. It was in Provo that she grew to adulthood. She attended schools in both Orem and Provo during her growing up years. Wyla graduated from Brigham Young High School in the Class of 1948. She loved that old farm and the many memories attached to it. Her sister Valene stated: "Wyla was by nature curious, but ever watchful and careful with her little sister Kay. They had great times together and were fast friends from birth. Wyla, as a little child, was impulsive and daring; testing the boundaries perhaps more than any of Mother and Dad's brood." She was a bit of a "tom boy". She loved any and all animals, climbing trees and picking fruit and often joined her father in the garage working on the mechanics of cars and other farm equipment. Other skills and talents included reading, music, art, games, china painting, sewing, knitting, history, canning, gospel study, and letter writing. She had beautiful penmanship, a good memory, and a flair for entertaining and newsy letters. She kept in touch with a large circle of friends and family all her life. She met her future husband, Robert Rollins, at a birthday celebration for her elder sister Val. She married him in the Salt Lake City Temple on the 18th of December 1947 just one day after she turned 18 years old. In their early years together they developed skills like camping, fishing, and rock hounding among others. She and Robert celebrated over sixty years together and raised seven children. Eldest to youngest they are: Brian, Randy, Margo, Dorian, Paula, Cary and Glen Rollins. Rock solid in her faith in a loving Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, she always had an intimate relationship with them both; and found great joy in serving others. She also maintained active membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served in many callings, including President of the Special Primary. Her life, spent in service to others, is a good example of a faithful daughter of Father in Heaven. How many lives she touched! She left this earth trailing credited acts of love in her wake. She goes home loved and revered and not forgotten by those whose lives she touched. A noble daughter of God. Funeral services will be held Thursday April 14th, at the Cherry Hill 1st ward chapel on 1700 S. 400 E. in Orem, Utah at 11 a.m. Friends and family are invited to call at Walker Sanderson Funeral Home, 646 E. 800 N., Orem, Utah on Wednesday, April 13th, between 6 and 8 p.m. or prior to services at the chapel from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Interment will follow the funeral services and will be in the Provo City Cemetery.

Given my age, I don't have time to wait for responses from magazines or contests. But I do share in my own small communty and with people I know.

Marion & Ida Romney

Board of Trustees, 1951 to 1988. Marion George Romney was born September 19, 1897 in Colonia Juarez, Mexico. His family had fled to Mexico to escape the persecutions of those who practiced plural marriage. His parents were George Samuel Romey and Teressa Artemis Redd Romney. He describes his early life as follows: "I'm a Mexican by birth. I was born in Colonia Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. My parents happened to be down there at the time. I was raised there until I was about fifteen years old. During the last two or three of those years, the Madero Revolution was in progress. The rebels and the federalists were chasing each other through the country, each taking everything we colonists had, by way of arms and ammunition and by way of supplies. Finally we were forced to leave. I came out of Mexico with the Mormon refugees in 1912. I remember I had a very thrilling experience on the way from where we lived to the railroad station about eight miles south of Colonia Juarez. We went in a wagon. . . . I was riding with my mother and her seven children and my uncle (her brother) and his family of about five or six children. . . . We had one trunk -- that was all we were able to bring. I was seated on the trunk in the back of the wagon. The Mexican rebel army was coming up the valley from the railroad station toward our town. They were not in formation. They were riding their saddle horses. Their guns were in the scabbards. Two of them stopped us and searched us. They said they were looking for guns. We didn't have any guns or ammunition. They did find $20 on my uncle -- pesos, not dollars... They took that and then waved us on. They went up the road about as far as from here to the back of this room, stopped, turned around, drew their guns from their scabbards, and pointed them down the road at me. As I looked up the barrels of those guns, they looked like cannons to me. They didn't pull their triggers, however, as evidenced by the fact that I am here to tell the story. That was a very thrilling experience. One of my maturing experiences. The rebels blew up the railroad track after the train we were on passed over it. Later, Father and the rest of the men came out to El Paso, Texas, on horseback. We never returned nor did we recover any of our property while my father lived. Father and I went to work to earn a living for his large family. There were no welfare programs then. We had a difficult time making a living. We had to 'root hog' or die." -- Marion C. Romney, speech at Salt Lake Institute of Religion, October 78, 1974, quoted by James E. Faust, devotional address at BYU, February 21, 1978. Elder Romney married Ida Olivia Jensen, BYH Class of 1910, on September 12, 1924. The couple had three children, of whom only one lived beyond the age of one. After studying law and passing the bar, he became an attorney. Among his Church callings before becoming a General Authority, he was a stake president and managing director of the Church Welfare Program. Of the thirty-eight men called to serve as assistants to the Twelve Elder Marion G. Romney was the first, being called April 6, 1941. He was ordained an apostle ten years later, October 11, 1951 and served faithfully until his death in 1988. On July 7, 1972 he was called to serve as Second counselor to President Harold B. Lee. President Spencer W. Kimball called him as Second Counselor until the death of N. Eldon Tanner, when he was called as First Counselor commencing December 2, 1982. On November 10, 1985, with President Kimball's death, he became President of the Quorum of the Twelve, with Howard W. Hunter serving as Acting President because of President Romney's frailty incident to age and health. President Marion G. Romney died May 20, 1988 in Salt Lake City, Utah at the age of ninety after forty-seven years as a General Authority, longer than any other General Authority then living.

Brigham Young Academy Foundation Member. Julie Roper. ~ ~ ~ ~ 1998 NEWS ARTICLE: Provo honors Academy rescuers. Julie Roper didn't like watching the old Brigham Young Academy slowly crumble. ``Every time I drove by I kept thinking, `Somebody should do something about this,' '' said the Provo woman who lived just east of the dilapidated building. That somebody turned out to be Roper, who along with her husband, Matt, and their three children helped save the Academy's Education Building from demolition. The family was recognized at a ceremony unveiling construction plans for the Provo City Library at Academy Square. The city intends to renovate the once-abandoned structure and construct a new low-rise building behind it with $22.2 million in public and private funds. The National Trust for Historic Preservation called Academy Square the most significant unrestored building west of the Mississippi. The night before a $16.8 million city bond election for the library project, the Ropers threw together a honk-and-wave rally on the corner of University Avenue and 500 North. It didn't take long until members of the Brigham Young Academy Foundation, the group urging passage of the bond, noticed the sign-toting family and friends. ``Some Academy people showed up and dragged me into this,'' Roper said. She chaired the ``nickel-and-dime'' fund-raising committee. An empty fish tank in the current library netted $600 in coins, most of it from children. Roper also organized events to earn money for beautifying the building grounds. The Ropers' contribution was indicative of the groundswell of grass-roots support for the new library. Library director Gene Nelson said the city couldn't have made it to this point without families. Plans call for the Education Building to remain the block's centerpiece. It would be remodeled for a children's library and meeting rooms. The main book collection would be housed in a partially underground structure connected to the historic building by a glass walkway. Most of the parking also would be below ground. Total estimated construction cost is $17.5 million. The remainder of the $22.2 million is earmarked to furnish and equip the library. ``There is much yet to be done,'' said Doug Smoot, Academy Foundation director. ``There are still financial challenges to complete the project within budget.'' The foundation, which raised $5.4 million for the renovation, will know what those difficulties might be after construction bids come in this summer. Should bids exceed anticipated costs, the foundation has 75 days to negotiate a lower price or raise the difference in cash. Although construction crews have scoured the building inside and out, above ground and below, there's always the possibility they missed something that could drive up remodeling costs. ``On a building this age (107 years), that's the big question,'' Smoot said. ``We're very optimistic, but we're also very realistic.'' Still, longtime Brigham Young Academy devotees are thrilled the building is still standing and they have a good chance to return it to its glory days. ``I spent all of my life on this block from kindergarten to first grade all the way up to a master's degree,'' said Shirley Paxman, who grew up across the street from the academy. ``This is an important day to me.'' If everything goes according to plan, the new library will open in fall 2000. [Deseret News, Tuesday, March 24, 1998, by Dennis Romboy, Staff Writer. ]

Class of 1959. Gary T. Rose. Senior Class Social Chair. Basketball, Tennis, Baseball, Tennis State Championship Singles. BYU BS Electronics & Computer Engineering 1965. USC MSEE 1968. CSULA MBA 1972. Principal Engineer Rose & Associates Consulting Engineers. Wife, Laura, 6 children: Robert, Christine, James, Cathy , Paul and Michael. Some of my fondest memories are of my days at BYH. @2010 ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Gary Truman Rose passed away on Tuesday, August 4, 2020, as a result of complications from open-heart surgery. He was surrounded by his loving family. Gary was born in Provo, Utah on November 14, 1940 to his loving and hard-working parents, James Truman Rose and Faye Snow. He was raised in Provo. When Gary was only 7 years old, his father passed away, leaving his mother to support them. As a boy, he spent many hours (incredibly boring hours, as he later put it) helping in his mother’s home beauty salon. Sports became his salvation. Gary was an incredible athlete and loved baseball, basketball, tennis, golf, and football. Gary played baseball on Little League and Pony League All-Star teams as well as at Brigham Young High School in Provo. He was also a two-time state tennis singles champion in high school and played on scholarship for the tennis team at BYU. Gary’s love of golf began as a 10-year old when he was introduced to the game by an uncle at the Timpanogos Golf Club in Provo. Gary eagerly rode his bike 3 miles to the course, earning money to rent clubs to play by shagging balls and cleaning clubs. He was an avid and very talented golfer throughout his life, winning many club, church, and company tournaments in Southern California and Utah. He especially loved to play with his family and shared many memorable rounds of golf with them, gently correcting their shanks and slices. In golf as in all other things, Gary’s virtuosity served as an example to those he loved and who loved him. Gary graduated from Brigham Young High School in the Class of 1959. He then studied electrical engineering at BYU, and later took his first job at Boeing. Gary then began to work at the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) on various power generation projects, also completing an MBA and a Master’s degree in electrical engineering during that time. Gary contributed his expertise and talents as an engineer on many generation and power transmission facilities throughout Southern California. In 1982, Gary returned to Utah as the Lead Electrical Engineer (and later, Project Manager) for the Intermountain Power Project near Delta, completing the project on time while saving tens of millions of dollars for the city of Los Angeles. Gary retired from the LADWP in 1996 after a career in public service of more than 30 years. He continued in engineering as a highly sought-after consultant in the power industry on projects in Southern California, Nevada, and Utah, receiving an award for 50 years of service in 2019. Gary met Laura Lopez while working at LADWP in Los Angeles. He knew he had found the love of his life. After a long courtship he was able to convince Laura that she had found hers, too. They married on November 6, 1982 and have enjoyed a wonderful and deeply caring relationship as soulmates. They have been loving companions to each other and are an example of true love and dedication in marriage. Gary and Laura traveled extensively over the years, visiting every continent. They were sometimes accompanied by family members throughout the US, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. They especially enjoyed summer trips to Oxford, England, in recent years, as well as regular visits to family in Utah. Gary is the beloved father to six children and—together with his wife, Laura Rose — they were the joy of his life. Gary shared his humor, his appreciation of music, art, literature, lifelong love of learning, and his joy in competition and sports with his family. Gary was a loving, active participant in his children’s and grandchildren’s lives, and they constantly felt his support and encouragement in their success and happiness. He was a deep thinker and an avid reader and was well-informed about nearly any topic you could mention. He was a rare combination of intelligence, wit, humor, and wisdom, and he patiently shared his knowledge with those around him. Gary and Laura generously supported the education of their children, blessing their lives and the lives of their families. They also proudly supported the service of several children and grandchildren as missionaries. Their generosity extended to numerous charities and causes in their communities and around the world.
