Richard Spencer's Story
My family moved to the Seattle area after my junior year, so I did not graduate from Provo High. I graduated from Renton High School in Renton, WA.
I returned to Provo in the fall of '68 to attend BYU. After a year at BYU, I worked at the Sea-Tac Airport until May of 1970, when I enlisted in the Marines.
I was released from active duty in May of '72, and returned to BYU. I was on the wrestling team for three years. After a few breaks to earn some money, I graduated in '78 with a BA in Spanish. (SÃ, todavÃa hablo español.)
I entered law school in '79 at BYU. I graduated in '82 and took a job in the DA's Office in Las Vegas. In '83 I became a prosecutor in West Valley City.
In October of 1988 I went to work for the State of Utah as an Administrative Law Judge(ALJ). I served there for nearly 15 years. Following a reduction in force, I worked at the Utah State Tax Commission as an ALJ for over three years. I have been in private practice, worked in Washington State, and recently retired from the Salt Lake City Prosecutor's Office.

Netherlands. She received her M.Ed from BYU in '82, but we didn't met until 1985 in a LDS (Mormon) Singles Ward in Salt Lake. We married in 1986, and have three children, Dustin, Erik, and Marlies. All three are dual citizens.
Desiree works for Salt Lake District as a guidance counselor. She is also a licensed massage therapist.
Desiree is the only member of her family in the States. We have traveled many times to visit her family in the Netherlands. I have learned to speak some Dutch, (Ja, ik spreek Nederlands). I have worked as a Dutch speaking customer service agent for Xango in Lehi, Utah.
Dustin served an LDS mission in Suriname (a former Dutch colony). He received a Bachelor's degree in Business from BYU and a Master's in HR from Erasmus University in Rotterdam. He is currently living and working in the Hague.
Erik served an LDS mission in the Netherlands. He will graduate from BYU this coming Spring in graphic design/photography.
Marlies will graduate this coming Spring from USU in Special Education.
My hobbies include Tae Kwon Do and photography.
