Married Mark Howard. @2010 ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Laurel Brigitte Robison Howard. On December 12, 2020 Laurel, surrounded by family, entered peacefully into eternal rest after a 9-year battle with cancer. Laurel was diagnosed with abdominal cancer in August of 2011. She endured 5 surgeries, and 3 rounds of aggressive chemotherapy. In December 2015 she suffered complications from surgery/chemo and was in a medically induced coma for three weeks. Laurel always expressed gratitude to the friends and family that spent many days with her in the hospital and helped her while she relearned how to walk over the 6 months after the coma. Laurel was born in Fillmore, Utah on August 25, 1949. She served in Germany as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from June 1972 to December 1974. She was a faithful member of the Church and a dedicated student of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Over the years she served as a Primary President, Young Women President, Relief Society President and Stake Primary President, but she most enjoyed her many years serving as a Sunday School Gospel Doctrine Teacher. Laurel married Mark Howard on August 14, 1976 and they had identical triplet daughters on August 11, 1977, Erica (Brian) Farr, Jessica (Dare) Grohman, and Monica (Henry) Ferreyra. Thankfully, her subsequent three sons were born separately, Gary (Debbie) Howard, Scott (Kim) Howard, and Sean (Christine) Howard. She graduated from Brigham Young University with Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Mathematics, minoring in German. After her children were grown, she obtained a Doctor of Education degree from Utah State University. Laurel had a passion for teaching. She taught math for a total 44 years at Brigham Young University, Arizona State University, Mesa Community College, Salt Lake Community College, and Utah Valley University. Laurel's mission statement for teaching was, "Teaching is my joy! If I can help students succeed and be confident in their mathematics' abilities, I have achieved success." In addition to her formal teaching, she spent countless hours tutoring literally hundreds of children of family, friends and neighbors. Laurel enjoyed attending sporting events in which her children, grandchildren, or BYU participated. While living in Chandler Arizona one of her favorite activities was playing basketball with her friends. Laurel was one of the most kind and caring people you could ever meet, but she was very competitive on the basketball floor. She also enjoyed other team sports, including softball and volleyball and loved taking long walks, particularly if she had someone to talk with along the way. She was preceded in death by her parents, Rolf and Ingeborg Robison, and brother, David. She was survived in death by her husband and six children, 23 grandchildren, her brothers, Roland, Richard, and Lynn, and her sisters Rose and Caroline. Services will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, December 19, 2020 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints chapel, 10305 E. Southern Ave., Mesa Arizona 85208.

He married Carrie. ~ ~ ~ ~ NEWS ARTICLE: Lost J.S. Bach Piece Performed by Kiwanis. In October of 1713, Johann Sebastian Bach worked as court organist to Duke Wilhelm Ernst of Saxony-Weimar. With money scarce and little to give but his talents, the 28-year-old composer wrote an aria for his patriarch’s birthday. The Duke put the piece in a box - where it stayed, never to be played nor heard. More. Nearly 300 years later, however, a Harvard University doctoral student happened upon the aria while examining some documents saved from a fire at the Anna Amalia Library in Weimar, Germany. The Bach Archive Foundation was alerted to the findings, and the piece was sent to them for authentication. In June of 2005, the composition was confirmed, and it was decided to release the music to the general public. Officials from the Anna Amalia Library contacted the foundation, however, and requested they not play the aria - so the world premier could be held at the re-opening of the library. The foundation agreed, but at the re-opening, musicians performed only half of the piece. When Lynn Sampson, singer, trumpet player and member of the Kiwanis Club of Modesto, California, heard of the aria, he promptly contacted the publishing company in Germany in an attempt to obtain a copy of the music. “We saw a newspaper article about it,” says Lynn. “I stayed up until two in the morning to call Germany to talk to some people about the piece.” After several calls and scheduling, the publishing company agreed to send the music to the club, which in cooperation with the opera singers in Modesto, staged the world premier of the entire piece before a standing-room-only crowd September 7, 2005. More than US $10,000 was raised to support the event. Kiwanians knocked on doors and explained what they were trying to do. A graphic designer offered to help with the programs for the event, and a printer in Modesto produced them at no cost. Modesto Junior College donated a harpsichord for the performance. [Sunday, June 18th, 2006.] ~ ~ ~ ~ February 2009: Lynn Sampson -- Certificate in Shakespeare Studies, The Shakespeare Academy, Modesto Junior College, Modesto, California (2001); Associate of Arts in Theater, Modesto Junior College (2007); Bachelor of Arts in Humanities, Mesa State College, Grand Junction, Colorado (1990); Advanced Diploma in Education, The University of London (2002). My principal teachers for trumpet were Dr. Newell Dayley, Professor Emeritus of Music at Brigham Young University, and, at The Aspen Music School, Bernard Adelstein, former first chair trumpet of The Cleveland Orchestra. Inspired by pianist Claudio Arrau and contralto Jennie Tourel, I promote the trumpet as a singing instrument. I founded The Lynn Sampson Bach Players (trumpet and piano) and Lynn Sampson Jazz Ensemble (trumpet and guitar). My international career began in 1989 with a recital at London’s Westminster Central Hall. I perform extensively having received acclaim for my interpretations of the music of Bach. My trumpet is a King Liberty dated Cleveland, 1927. My principal teacher for voice is Diana Ruggiero of The San Diego Lyric Opera. I sang with the world famous St. Anne Chapel Choir at Stanford University, was cantor for the Church of the Holy Name in San Francisco, and, for 16 years, cantor for the Latin Mass at Our Lady of the Assumption in Turlock, California. My concert activities include over 120 performances a year as well as recording and teaching. I present unique seminars, lecture/demonstrations and master classes on such subjects as brass techniques, music appreciation, and Renaissance music. Under the auspices of Music First, the charity I founded, I present solo concerts and innovative music education programs for children and seniors. I have written a dozen solo and chamber music works as well as over 20 transcriptions for trumpet of the keyboard music of Bach. I have acted on stage and in film. My credits include “The Diary of Anne Frank,” “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” and “The Apollo of Belac.” I received a Celebration of the Humanities Award for Drama in 2001 and have appeared in the Kevin Costner film “American Flyers.” I have written many arts related articles for publications such as “California Political Review” and “The American Record Guide Magazine.” In 2001 I established The Sampson Center, a home near the campus of my Alma Mater at Mesa State College in Grand Junction, Colorado, to serve as recital hall, art gallery, and residence for music scholarship students. I am an active member of Lions Club, an international charity devoted to meeting the needs of communities and the world, and Phi Theta Kappa, the world’s largest academic honor society. I am an avid racquetball player and cyclist and a trained chef specializing in French cuisine. I perform the old standards of the 1930s, ‘40s, and ‘50s by the masters of American and Brazilian popular song, such as Cole Porter, Richard Rogers, George Gershwin, and Carlos Jobim. My jazz ensemble presents these classics in a smooth, soft, melody driven style. One of my most recent performances was on Memorial Day at The Jazz Jubilee in Sacramento, California. Among the selections were Fats Waller’s “Ain’t Misbehaven’” and Gershwin’s “A Foggy Day.” Many in the crowd aboard the Delta King ferry boat anchored in the Sacramento River delta, traveled from out-of-state returning a third and fourth year in a row to hear me perform at the world’s largest jazz festival. @2009

It was founded in the 1800s. "It was an experimental high school that allowed people to progress at their own rate," Shaw described. So students would often take college courses while still in high school. B.Y. High also had small classes--there were about 32 people in Shaw's graduating class. "We got to know every single person in your class," he said. "Incredible people who have gone to great heights and accomplished incredible things." Shaw says the school produced people like university presidents, attorneys, and doctors. "Because it was small, we've all stayed very close and very bonded," he said. "It's been very good, I think, for everyone in those classes to have a networking ability and allow them to grow in many, many ways." Source. ~ ~ ~ ~ (KUTV) -- Dan Shaw is the CEO and president of the Days of '47 Rodeo. Shaw believes the rodeo is "part of the heritage" of the state. According to Shaw, the rodeo was started by Brigham Young two years after the pioneers came to Utah. "We're trying to preserve that heritage," Shaw said of the rodeo. "So people can understand what helped them get here." Shaw is involved with the rodeo because he wants to keep the story of the pioneers going. "It's part of what family is about, part of what the state is about, part of the tradition," he said. "I think that if we lose that, we lose part of who we are." It means a lot to him to be a part of this tradition. "I think that part of everyone's responsibility is to give back," he said. "I think if you can find a way to do that, that provides the ability for people to find joy and find happiness." Shaw grew up on a ranch in Malta, Idaho. "Huge town--120 people," Shaw laughed. His family eventually moved to Provo so he dad could teach at Brigham Young University. Shaw even attended Brigham Young High School, which is now the Provo Library. "I skied for a livelihood for awhile," Shaw said of his career. In fact, he skied competitively all over the world. Shaw has also been involved in the finance industry for most of his life. He has a finance company with employees in Nevada, Utah, and more. He is currently serving as a city councilman in Henderson, Nevada. He has six children. A motto he has lived by is, "You always want to remember that going up the ladder, someday you'll come back down. And so don't ever step on anyone's toes." "You have to be very mindful of people and treat them very kindly, I think, all the time," Shaw said. Source.

He served two terms as Chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, and is a member of the Trade and Environment Policy Advisory Committee, Office of U.S. Trade Representative. ~ ~ ~ ~ April 30, 2004: The University of Utah community welcomed Michael K. Young as its new president. The Board of Regents approved the appointment of Mike Young after interviewing two other finalists for the job. President Young and his wife Suzan have deep roots in Utah [he is a direct descendant of Brigham Young] and both say they are excited to be moving to a state where they have friends and family. Young follows Bernie Machen who left to become president at the University of Florida. Utah conducted a national search for a new leader and 147 educators applied for the job. Young will now oversee the 28,000 students, 2,750 faculty, and 11,500 staff of the University of Utah. President Young, 54, officially assumed his duties as president on August 2, 2004, and continued until April 2011, when he left to become President of the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington. U of U Faculty Senate President Andrew Gitlin was on the search committee and says this is a good fit. “President Young brings a strong knowledge of the local Utah culture and a vast array of negotiation skills. Clearly, it is the hope of the Regents that his local knowledge and negotiation skills will reap financial benefits with the legislature.” Student Body President Alex Lowe says students on campus have been following the presidential search and are very happy with the decision. “We could not be more excited. Michael Young is exactly what the University needs and he has committed to being 100 percent accessible to students. We are looking forward to a great year”, said Lowe.

Husband, Robert Jones, BYU 76. @2007 ~ ~ ~ I entered BY Elementary in Kindergarten, age 5, and continued through BYH and then BYU, where I received a BA and an MA, before being forced to go elsewhere for my PhD. Today, in my ancient years, I am teaching part-time at BYU. I occasionally grin at my students and tell them I've been attending BYU since I was 5 years old. Which I have. We all had BYU photo IDs. And I have watched it change -- oh, how it has changed. As a youngster I watched buildings being built which are now being torn down. @2023
