I went on a mission to the New Zealand North mission and served most of my time in the Cook Islands District. (600 miles due west of Tahiti.
I married Margene Riggs (class of 1967 Provo High) in 1970 after I completed Basic Training. We had five kids, three boys and two girls. have nine grand kids with three more on the way. We now live in Pleasant Grove, Utah.
