20 Life History --- 1964 Trips While in College

Josephine my motorcycle 1966

Very shortly after buying the motorcycle, I rode it on a trip to Akron to visit my folks. Mom and Ken had returned to Akron for a supposed visit a year or two after I came to SMS, but we all knew that she had no intention of returning to Dad in Licking. Mel was also off at college. Dad returned to Akron sometime later, and they eventually reconciled. I remember lots of back pains between my shoulder blades on that long motorcycle ride. While in Akron I visited some relatives, and gave some young ones a ride on the motorcycle.

42 Life History --- Independence Missouri Visitor's Center Dedication

 I want with a Church group to the dedication of the Independence Missouri Visitor's Center. It threaten to rain, but stopped during the outdoor part of the program, then resumed afterwards.  They had some wonderful pictures inside. I got to meet Elder Mark E. Peterson and his wife. He was an Apostle in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
