Mission Statement
The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber
State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully
researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories
intended for the widest possible use.
Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of
events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees
(as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and
corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as
available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original
recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations.
Project Description
The Weber and Davis County Communities Oral History Collection includes interviews of citizens from
several different walks of life. These interviews were conducted by Stewart Library personnel, Weber
State University faculty and students, and other members of the community. The histories date back to
the early settlement of North Ogden, and cover various topics including the History of Fort Buenaventura,
city government affairs, controversial issues, Latinos in Ogden, personal everyday life experiences and
other recollections regarding the history of the Weber and Davis County areas.
Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a
narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with
the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral
history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken
account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it
is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable.

Abstract: Dean W. Hurst shares his recollections of growing up in Ogden, Utah and
his involvement with Weber State College in a personal history interview held on
April 13, 2003. Dean's involvement with Weber began as a student before being
drafted into the military in February of 1945 and sent to Ft. Douglas where he
was trained as a paratrooper assigned to the 517th Airborne. Following his
military service, Dean returned to Weber State and became actively involved in
the alumni association. In 1967, Dean began his career at Weber State College
as the Director of Alumni and Development Director and progressed to the
position of Vice President of College Relations. He retired from Weber State
University in 1991. Dean shares stories of his childhood as well as his family and
friends and the memorable experiences throughout his life.
DH: I have found that memories belong to those that have them. Two people who
remember the same incident often remember it in different ways. What I'm going
to talk about may be a little different than your memories, but allow me the
privilege of having them as I remember.
I don't remember much about the circumstances of my birth, I have to rely
on what Mother told me. I was born on December 4, 1926 in Ogden, Utah
delivered by Dr. Merrill. My brother, Farr, was born at the hospital and suffered a
somewhat traumatic experience. Mother decided to go the whole nine yards at
home as she later did with both Jimmy and Bonnie Lee. At the time, Dad had
been burned in a fire, so my birth was particularly difficult in the nature of the
birth and the fact that Dad was not expected to live for the first 3 months from the
time that he was burned. It happened the day after Thanksgiving and I was born
within a week of that time. It was 3 months later that Dad gave me a blessing. He
was almost crippled to the point that he couldn't walk, but was able to walk down
the aisle at church and give me a church confirmation blessing.
Another circumstance that made it difficult for Mom was that Farr had
fallen down the basement steps and put his teeth through his lip. Also,
Grandmother, who was assisting Mother, had come down with influenza or some
terrible sickness and was out of her head telling Mother that we were going to
have to amputate Dad's legs and that he was going to die anyway. So, Mother
had a screaming baby who was left in another room adjacent to her bedroom. I
developed pneumonia and nearly died at that point. Mother told me that I didn't
eat and developed what could have turned into the beginning stages of rickets.
The family story is that Aunt Annie, who delivered my cousin Jack six months
later, ended up nursing me. So, my Aunt Annie was my nurse in the period of
time when Mom was sick and didn't have enough milk.
We grew up in an area probably as ideal as any person could ever want. I
know that there were homes that were bigger or more luxurious, but our home at
2940 Ogden Avenue was utopian for a boy to grow up. It was in the middle of the
block between 29th and 30th Street and Washington and Adams. Grandfather
Hurst bought a number of pieces of property within the area so there were areas
large enough to play games like football and baseball. We had great ball games
there. There were a number of trees that we could build tree houses in. There
was room to dig undergrounds and we always seemed to have a supply of
lumber. I don't know where we got it all, but I do remember taking some out of an
old fence. There were old buildings and whatever the situation, there always
seemed to be something we could build for any of the undergrounds or tree huts.
We had an ideal family relationship with our grandparents. Grandparents
Hurst lived just immediately next to our home for a number of years. Aunt Annie
and Uncle Herb were across the street. Aunt Lydia and Uncle Earn were just up
the street from us too. At one period of time, there was Uncle Leonard and Aunt
Floss and Aunt Velma and Uncle Jim. It was like a communal order. I don't
remember having a key to the door or a lock. It was kind of an "open house."
I've mentioned Aunts and Uncles, but I haven't talked about cousins.
There was Jack, Gene, Fern, Lavar, Bob, Shirley, Keith, and Jerry. Later, Jim,
Annette and Bonnie came along. I remember a Dutch family that lived in a home
that Grandpa built, the Koolmans. We used to take our grass clippings from our
lawn to feed their chickens. Harold White lived across the street and was
probably my oldest and closest friend up until the time we were teenagers and
had begun to differ a little bit in some standards. I had more of a religious
inclination than Harold did, but he was a good friend. His younger sister, Carol, is
one of Bonnie's closest friends and remains so to this day. It was an ideal place
not only for the home, but for our extended family.
At Easter, we would go to Little Mountain and roll Easter eggs. (I haven't
got the symbolism of that yet because they'd generally break into pieces rolling
them down the hill.) A favorite place was East of Ogden, right where the Mt.
Ogden Golf Course is now, where we would picnic and barbeque. I had a great
time as a child. I remember one Easter we drove out to the sand hills, which was
another fun place across the Ogden River next to a place called Salamander
Pond. There was a beautiful little glen called Sylvan Hollow. It's totally gone now;
you can't even see a remnant of it. They made a garbage dump out of it. A lot of
the old scenes of childhood have since gone, but one time we went there on a
rainy Easter and ate our Easter eggs in the car.
We had great night games in the neighborhood. We'd play, "Run Sheep,
Run," "Ice Man," and "Kick-the-Can," with all the neighborhood kids and cousins.
Another thing during those depression years that was so much fun was mulligan
stew. We would get a gallon bucket and build a fire from whatever we could find
from the neighbor's fence or place. We'd get the BB gun and go over to a pigeon
loft in an old chicken coop and "plink" off a pigeon or two that we could put in our
mulligan stew. It consisted of whatever anybody could bring; an onion, potatoes,
carrots, etc. Squab was pretty good, but you don't see it on menus much
anymore. Years later, I was talking with a girl that lived adjacent to us named
Beverly Shipley and as we commented on the old neighborhood the first thing
she said was, "I remember those mulligan stews." I didn't think she'd remember,
but she remembered making a fire and putting potatoes in it so they would get
blackened husks and you'd rip that open and eat the potato out of it. We had a lot
of great times.
We were having a little bonfire and roasting marshmallows out in the yard
right next to our house. Our oldest cousin, Lavar, was there and his marshmallow
caught on fire. Lavar flipped it and the marshmallow hit Gene Swaner in the eye.
How he survived childhood I don't understand. He seemed to be on the wrong
end of any accident and he had cuts, bruises, and abrasions all over his head,
cheek and elbows. It was just accidental, but I can remember that flaming
marshmallow hitting him in the eye and it stuck. It was like a ball of hot tar in
I don't remember how we ever had the capacity to build that tree house in
the big box elder tree behind our garage, but it was well-built. It had to be at least
25 feet above ground. It had a deck, a bench, four sides, and a trap door in the
middle where you could climb in from the bottom. We even carpeted it. Where in
the world did we get the piece of asphalt roofing that we put over the roof? I don't
remember where we got all the material. One day, we came home and some
wretch had knocked the hut down and pushed it out. We never did know who did
it. It was remarkable when I think about how we got up that high, put the pieces
in place and built it. Of course, we had carpenter families.
We grew up in the radio days before the days of television. We grew up to
the strains of, "Who's that little curly locks, the one with all the auburn locks, who
can it be? It's Little Orphan Annie," or "Ranfrue of the Mounties." We'd listen to
those and have our secret decoder rings. We thrived on the ones later at night,
"Myrt & Marge," "I Love a Mystery," and "The Great Gildersleeve." Those were
great radio days as I recall.
Neither Mother nor Dad had the means to give us special music lessons
or anything. Farr had a little bit of a knack for singing and I remember Farr and
Fern sang "Santa Lucia." They did well and sang in harmony. I had absolutely no
musical talent. Mother taught me readings that she learned from her mother. My
favorite readings are probably the ones from Edgar A. Guest such as, "Pa
Shaved Off His Whiskers." ("I haven't had such jolly fun for 40,000 years I
laughed and laughed until I thought my eyes were running out in tears. There
never was a mother's son that had such jolly roaring fun as children have begun
since pa shaved off his whiskers.") I remember that particularly well and many
other verses because during that time Dad grew a beautiful beard. Bonnie had
just been born when Dad shaved off his whiskers and she didn't recognize him.
She doesn't remember that, but we sure did. She was used to Dad with a great
set of full whiskers and his derby hat on. I went on to learn a whole host of Edgar
A. Guest poems that I can't even find copies of anymore. A favorite was, "Little
Orphan Annie." ("Little Orphan Annie came to our house to stay, to wash the
cups and saucers up and brush the crumbs away and to shoo the
I had two great loves in my life. As a child, my preoccupation was
cowboys. I can remember getting Mom and Dad to drive me down to Wall
Avenue where I could see a picture of a cowboy with Levi's on made by
Scowcroft's Never Rip Overalls. One of my earliest recollections was
Grandmother Hurst made me a little holster to hold a cap gun and Grandmother
Salt made me a pair of chaps. I wanted a rocking horse and I remember going to
the old Emporium and there was the most beautiful rocking horse. It was a
dapple gray with a beautiful black harness with red trim. I wanted that horse and I
asked for it from Santa Claus, but I didn't get it. Mother and Dad were so
concerned. These were difficult years. We were not poor, but there were tough
times. Dad built a rocking horse and I have to say I have felt bad all of my life that
I can't remember it. Mother and Dad have described it to me. He made it out of
an old log and it had a little saddle in the middle. The rocking horse I do
remember was the old rocking chair in the front room. To me, it looked like a
horse with the arm rest where I could sit. I made a pair of spurs with rubber
elastic tubing and a nail in it. I spurred that horse for 40 miles over hill and dell. I
can remember Mom and Dad scolding me about that. Anyway, that was my
rocking horse.
I also had a great love of drawing and I'd use up reams of paper that Farr
had for school. I could be anything in the world that I wanted on paper. I could
draw pictures of the army, cowboys, Indians, soldiers, airplanes, and my
imagination could just run rampant. I had an imaginary friend whose name was
Bim. He was my companion as a young kid. He was the sheriff of the town, I was
his side kick and together we rode the range.
School and church were very much a part of my childhood years and I can
remember Primary and the days that we went and I still remember "SHSK,"
Spiritual Health Service Knowledge. I can still sing, "Oh we are the boy trail
builders…" I did that in church a while ago and had half the congregation singing
along with me. I always enjoyed church. I was noisy and disruptive and I had a
lot of teachers that would have been happy to kick me out of the class. Grelden
Nelson used to bribe me with candy. I remember some really had a hard time
with me. I don't believe I was mean, I was just overly energetic.
There was one very spiritual thing about my baptism. I was baptized in the
old 17th ward. It had a baptismal font. I used to think of this often because I was
on the high council at the college stake when Alan Hall was a bishop. His office
was built over the old baptismal font. I used to sit in that meeting and remember
what, to me as an 8-year-old, was a very spiritual experience. A lot of people say
they don't remember their baptism or anything that happened. It was memorable
for me. As I was waiting to be baptized, I looked up at the font and saw a dove
that illuminated with a neon light. I thought that was really cool. I heard the story
about Jesus going into the water and the Father speaking, "This is my beloved
son," then having the Holy Ghost descend as a dove. Many years later, I went
into that old baptismal font and I wondered what happened to that dove. I asked
someone and the person shook his head and said, "There never was, never is,
and never has been anything like that." I told that story to a person one time that
came up to me after and said, "You had the sign of the dove given to you at that
time of baptism." I didn't particularly think of it as a child, but as an adult I
thought, "I can accept that." Maybe a skeptic would say that it was just what I
thought of in my childlike mind and imagination. To me, it has always been a very
real and very personal experience.
We enjoyed a host of things as young kids growing up. We could get free
buttermilk at the old Cream of Weber Dairy on Adams Avenue. The old
Alahambra Theatre was built on Kiesel Avenue. It became the Paramount
Theater later, but it was the Alahambra originally. The Lyceum Theater on 25th
Street is still there. The Popeye Club at the Paramount was a dime or 15 cents
and we could see half a dozen cartoons, two double features and a host of other
things. Mother and Dad would send us off on Saturday morning and we wouldn't
come back until the evening. We'd get out of the Ogden Theater on 25th Street
and stop to get a cold glass of buttermilk free out of the spigot at the old dairy. It
was real buttermilk with chunks of butter floating around the ice cold whey. Those
are great memories I have.
I remember fishing with the families at Bull Run, Lost Creek, and Chalk
Creek. We had to put the old Model-T Ford in Rucksel Gear and take it up in
reverse because it didn't have enough power to get up the steep hills. I loved the
outdoors. I remember a lot of hiking with cousins and fishing with uncles and
Dad, who was always the champion fisherman. One time, Uncle Herb and Dad
came back and Uncle Herb had one more fish than Dad, so Dad took his fishing
pole out to the river to catch one more fish just to catch up. There were always
those kinds of fun competitions. We would hike up to Malan's Peak or Waterfall
Canyon which was one of our favorites. We hiked to Mt. Ogden Peak and I think
that got us some training for later hikes to Ben Lomond when Mother and Dad
were taking care of the girls' camp in North Fork Canyon.
I was exposed to work early. We would chop firewood for the stove and at
one time we had to paint the house. I don't know how good a job we did. Ours
was a lovely home even though it was small. Aunt Lydia and Uncle Earn lived
there at one time when they were finishing their home. Uncle Herb and Annie
also lived there once. Including their family and ours, there would have been 12
people living there at one time with one bathroom upstairs and very limited water
sources. We laughed about the fact now that we were on a septic tank and many
times had to use other means. In that time, people just didn't bathe more than
once a week. We just didn't have the water. We didn't have an indoor toilet until I
was 9 or 10-years-old.
I remember well the births of my younger sister and brother. I remember
praying so hard for a sister. She was an answer to our prayer. Following each of
their births, I was shocked to see my brother and sister for the first time when
their eyes were totally blackened with silver nitrate. It used to be put in the eyes
of all the children as prevention for venereal disease. It was mandated by law at
that time. Their eyes were just an absolute black like they had put charcoal in
I enjoyed school. I remember going to school the first time and Farr
showed me the ropes. Mother started me a little early, which I don't think was
that good for me. She thought I was ready for school, but it put me almost a year
behind in growth so I was smaller than most of the kids. If you look at my class
pictures, particularly through junior high school, I was much smaller and it made
it difficult for competing in school and athletic events. There was a stigma about
being six to eight months younger than the girls in my class. I don't think I was as
sharp mentally either. She did it because she thought I was ready. I think she
wanted to get me out of the house. I struggled in some classes in school though.
I really suffered thinking I must have been dumb because I had a hard time with
algebra. It was easier for me to just freehand geometry than to try to figure out all
the angles and curves. I really struggled. I had a teacher in the 5th grade named
Mary Jensen. She recognized in me a certain talent for art. I began to feel I had
something that made me as good as the rest of the kids. I was recognized along
with Beverly Shipley as the best artist in the 5th grade. That kind of carried me
through a number of classes.
I also followed up with a lot of drama for which I had a natural inclination.
When I was four or five years of age, Mom and Dad needed a child to be in a
play they were in. It was a story about a kidnapped child and I was to be the
kidnapped child. I didn't have to say anything. After they brought me on, the
dialogue went on for three acts and to show my total dramatic ability, I went to
sleep. I slept through the entire performance. At the end, I was supposed to wake
up and run to Momma when she came in. I didn't wake up for my dramatic
scene. I slept right through it.
I gave readings of the poems that Mother taught me earlier in my
childhood all over the city. I remember Mother taking me to MIA's, competitions,
road shows and any number of shows while I did my bit. I remember doing
readings of: "Castor Oil of all the Nasty Stuff," "Gee Whiz, That is the Very Worst
There Is," "Pa Shaved Off His Whiskers," and "Ma Fixes Things." Those poems
carried me through until my junior high school days when I really got into more
heavy poems. They had contests at the city schools. I did a reading of, "Penrod
and Sam," which was a classic. Penrod's friend, Sam, was tongue-tied, so Mrs.
Dobbs taught me how to be tongue-tied by rolling an elastic band on my tongue.
I did the reading of "Penrod and Sam" and won a contest as well as, "Willis
McPrang," and "Cleaning His Garage." The poem that took me from beginner to
stellar was Alfred Noyse's, "The Highway Man." I won a local contest with that
and it was one of Mother's favorites.
My first date was with a pretty girl named Betty Dawn Agey. I think that was in
the eighth grade. The Ageys lived right next to Grandma and Grandpa Salt on
30th Street. It was just one of those dates where we went to a school party. My
first serious date was with a girl named Carol Moyes. I was student body
president and I finally had the guts to ask a pretty girl to a dance. She remains a
very special friend to this day. She's lost her husband and occasionally we'll
meet. Carol Moyes was the first girl I ever kissed.
When I was 15-years-old, a number of big things happened in life. I was
going to rehearse for a school play and they announced that Pearl Harbor had
been bombed. In that same spectrum of time, I went to work at Lowe's Hardware
because the men had all gone to war and they were hiring kids at just 15-years-old.
I was doing a man's work and worked there for a period of time before going
to work for Tanner's clothing store. During the war, I worked at the Naval Supply
Depot. I met Laurence Burton at Ogden High School. He had a great impact on
my life. He was a very popular guy in school and we were in the school play
together. We wrote a little take off of Hamlet called, "Hamlet: Prince of Denmark."
We put it on in high school and had Mrs. Chambers help us with it. Laurence and
I became very close friends in high school and into college.
I went to college at Weber while I was waiting to be drafted. My birthday
was December 4th and I graduated from Ogden High School in June of 1944. I
worked at the supply depot in the summer while waiting to go in the military. I
took classes in aerodynamics, theory of flight, learned about pseudoadiobatic
charts in preparation for the Army Air Force Cadet program. You could join when
you were 17 and when you turned 18 you automatically went into flight school.
The war was beginning to wind up at the beginning of that time and others who
had gone in a little bit before me were put in gunnery school. I wanted to fly.
Laurence and I got out of the program and tried to go into the Navy. I passed the
first battery of tests and went on to the physical tests and found out that my eyes
were not good enough. So, I was out of the Air Force, Army and the Navy. My
cousin, Dick Salt, had the idea to go into the Merchant Marines, so I joined and
prior to leaving I double checked with my draft board and they said, "Dean, your
draft notice will be in the mail by December 5th, the day after your birthday and
they'll take you out of the Merchant Marines." I got out of the Merchant Marines
and my actual draft notice didn't come until February. It ended up being a
blessing in disguise because the guys that went into the Merchant Marines were
drafted back into military service when they came home.
I left in March and went to Ft. Douglas. I volunteered for the Marines, but
the quota was full. I tried to get into the Navy and there was no opening there.
The only option left was the infantry and I thought, "Anything but the plain
infantry." I remembered seeing a fellow walking down the street with jump boots
and the Airborne patch on his shoulder and thought, "That's cool." So, I
volunteered for the paratroops. I went through basic training at Camp Maxey in
Texas. I was an acting sergeant all through infantry basic and an expert
infantryman which was the highest honor you could get at that time. I was very
serious. I wanted to be a good soldier and I wanted to save my life. I figured the
harder I worked, the better prepared I would be for the jump school. I knew it was
going to be hard and wanted to succeed.
My original group of trainees went overseas and ended up in the last
campaigns in Okinawa. In later years, I talked to a couple of the guys in my outfit
that had seen action. Two of the fellows that I knew had been killed in Okinawa. I
met a paratrooper walking up the street and I went up to him and said, "Hey, I
joined the paratroopers too." He said, "You dumb son of a...," I found out that he
was an old shot up veteran who had been in combat. He must have been with
the 11th Airborne. He was probably hurt in one of the jumps there. When I
learned the quota for jump school was full, I thought that I wouldn't be going. One
of my sergeants pulled strings and got me in and only three of us in that whole
group ended up going to the paratroops. It turned out great. The period of time I
spent in training gave me a chance to develop some real challenges physically.
The most frightening thing in jump school at Fort Benning, Georgia was
jumping from the 275 foot towers. They pulled us up, hit a release and the
parachute dropped. I'll never forget the older troopers singing, "There was blood
upon the risers, there was brains upon the chute." I thought, "I'll go through
training to prove I can do it. I just won't jump." I went through all of the stages,
packed the chutes and learned everything. When the first jump came I thought,
"If I don't feel like it, I won't go." I looked up and there was a fellow still standing
there and the jump master said, "What's the matter soldier?" He said, "Well, I
don't think I'll jump." The jump master said, "I think you better jump and then if
you don't want to anymore you don't have to." He said, "I've never been up 1,500
feet in the air and that doesn't stop me from being scared." The jump master
said, "You're going to jump." He grabbed him, turned him around and threw him
out the door. I looked out the window as he went out and he was like a cat just
flailing around. I thought, "Well, I guess I'll jump." So I did.
I was assigned to the 517th Airborne. The war ended while we were
making a practice jump. We were training for an invasion of Japan and we were
making a night simulated combat jump when they announced the atomic bomb
was dropped. We knew that the official surrender hadn't been signed, but the war
was over. That night, Johnny Barnes, who slept above me, was killed on a night
jump. It was just one of those accidents that happen in the Airborne.
I had a lot of fun in the service and had some good friends. I was a
member of the honor guard. We paraded in Philadelphia, Boston and probably
one of the highlights of my Army career was being in the New York World War II
victory parade. The 82nd was chosen to be the honor guard for that. We paraded
all the way up to 5th Avenue under a confetti parade. It was a great thrill. The
whole town came out for us and it was a marvelous experience. I met a fellow by
the name of Bob Curran while I was in the service. Bob was a paratrooper who
had made the Rhine jump in the 17th Airborne. We became good friends and he
became interested in the L.D.S. church. He had a dog named Trooper and we
felt we should make him a fully qualified parachutist, so I jumped with him. I dang
near killed myself in that jump because I was coming in frontwards and I was
afraid the bag with the dog had pulled out from the opening of the parachute and
was right over my knees. I was afraid that in my landing position I'd drive my
knees and squash the dog, so I reversed myself with the risers facing backward
which is the worst position. I came in and there was no way of flexing anything. I
hit heels, butt and head as the bag smacked me in the face. I heard the dog
make one little yelp. It knocked me out for a minute and when I came to I opened
the bag and that dog looked dead as could be and I thought, "Oh boy, I killed the
dog." Then it shook its head and opened its eyes.
There was a Catholic kid from Philadelphia named Bob Titus, and the last
jump I made in the service he and I jumped together. He was a bit of a nut and
totally opposite from me. He was a bit of a drinker, a smoker, a party guy, and a
staunch Catholic. We just had some other things in common and we were good
friends. I didn't see him again for years and one day while I was working at Hill
Air Force base, there was a phone call and they said, "Is this the Dean Hurst who
was in the 82nd Airborne Division?" I said, "Yes." He said, "This is Bob "Catholic"
Titus, I just flew in and I wondered if I could come by." Bob had stayed in the
service, went to flight school and was flying P-51's. He had been shot down over
Korea. He had just landed at Hill Air Force Base. We had a fun get-together. We
talked and laughed about the old days and I was really impressed.
Thirty years later, I was at home and the phone rang and he said, "Is this
the Dean Hurst that was in the 82nd Airborne Division?" I said, "Yes." He said,
"This is General Titus." Bob Titus became one of the most highly decorated
generals and was a Wing commander in Vietnam. I have yet to talk to an Air
Force man that doesn't know of Bob Titus. He was at the end of his career at the
academy in Colorado Springs and he was doing some consulting at Hill AFB and
brought his wife. She was a sweet lady. Carol and I took them to dinner and we
began to correspond and send Christmas cards. One year, I didn't hear from him,
so the next time I saw the General at Hill I asked, "What do you hear from Bob
Titus?" He said, "You didn't hear? He died suddenly one year ago." He was a
heavy smoker. Who would think that a relationship as divergent as that was
would exist? That was just one of the great military experiences I had.
I came back from the military and went to Weber College. I was very
active as yearbook editor. Laurence and I developed a little routine called, "The
Act," in which we did a song and dance routine. We put that on all over the place
and had a great time. I met a girl I fell "desperately in love" with named, LouJean
Sneddon. Unfortunately, she didn't fall as hard for me as I fell for her. That was
another one of those blessings in disguise. I chose to go on an L.D.S. mission. I
had been interviewed for a mission before with the bishop and I told him I felt I'd
already served a mission. Later, I met a friend by the name of Don Belnap and
he told me he had just accepted a mission call. I don't know why we make our
minds up at certain times, but I knew right then that's what I should do. I was
interviewed by elder Mark Peterson. I was very close with a group of Hawaiian
kids in infantry basic, so when they asked where I wanted to go on the mission I
said, "I'd like to go to Hawaii, but I'll go wherever I'm called." When my mission
call came, it was to the Central Pacific Mission. I found out the headquarters was
in Honolulu and of course that delighted me. When I'd left the Hawaiian kids after
basic I said, "One day, I'll come and see you." The word spread and I bumped
into two or three of the guys. I still call a Hawaiian kid named Samuel Kaupuiki,
who lives on Lanai and keeps me up with what happened after I left basic
When I returned from my mission, I continued my schooling in art at the
University of Utah and studied with some great teachers. My G.I. Bill ran out and
I dropped out of school thinking it was going to be just for that summer. I went to
Hill Air Force Base to be interviewed for a temporary summer job and found out
there was an art job open which had some great opportunities. I took that job and
ended up making it a career. I didn't go back to school until later when I took
some additional classes at night school. I was very active in the alumni
association both at Ogden High and Weber College. I became very active in the
association in 1952 and that has never ended as far as involvement with Weber
I was working at Hill Air Force Base when a good friend, Rulon Garfield,
introduced me to Carol Watkins on blind date. I had just bought a beautiful new
car. My first car was a little 1930 Model A Ford that I bought for 35 dollars. It had
been used as a chicken coup, so I had to take the entire interior out and fix it up.
I sold that first car for 100 dollars and then bought a 1932 Ford Coupe with a
rumble seat. I painted it, fixed it up and sold it for 200 dollars and bought a 1939
Ford. Later, I traded it for a 1951 Ford Victoria with a continental kit on it. Carol
though it was a Cadillac and I thought any girl that thought a Ford was a Cadillac
was my kind of girl. I never dated another girl. I can't say the same about Carol
not dating another fellow, but she was much younger and was attending school
at Utah State and I courted her while she was in college. We got married a year
later and had our first child nine months later. Carol had gone from queen of the
school and Miss Utah State to diapering babies nine months later. It was difficult
to go through that transition. We lived in grandparent Watkins basement where
Kevin was born and were there a short period of time while we were building a
little home on Maple Drive. Dad and I built it and I did a lot of the work on that
I left Hill AFB at that time and began working for Pierson, Kearney and
Hurst, an advertising and art agency. I'd been in an advertising agency that
"Pony" Halverson and I started called Halverson Hurst Advertising and Art
Agency. I was working five jobs. I was also working for Tanner's for Men, at the
Cal Pack with Wes and Jack Swarner and doing freelance artwork on the side,
so life was pretty busy. I probably didn't do any of them as well as I should have,
but I worked really hard during that time. We built a little home on Maple Drive
and lived there for nine years. We built it for $12,000 and sold it for $17,000.
I worked for Pierson, Kearney and Hurst for 13 or 14 years and loved my time
there, but after my 40th birthday I had an impression in the middle of the night
that I should contact Weber College. I didn't know why and I thought when I'd
wake up in the morning that impression would be gone. I put it off for a period of
time, but then I called the college and oddly enough, President Miller answered
the phone. I said, "President Miller, I don't really know why I'm calling you. Is
there any kind of job up there that I could be doing?" He said, "Well, it's
interesting that you'd call. There is a job that we are in the process of finalizing
and your name came up, but we didn't think we could hire you away." I said,
"Well, what is it?" He said, "It is the Director of Alumni and Development
Director." I didn't know a lot about that, but I knew Weber and a lot of people in
the city. I said, "What are you offering?" He gave me a figure and I said, "I will
never take a job for less than what I'm making. If you could make that a little bit
higher, I'd be interested." He said, "I can't offer you the job, but you would
certainly be a candidate at that price." I interviewed the following day, was
offered the job and that started my career at Weber State. I took the job in
January of 1967 and retired in 1991. I went from Executive Director of Alumni to
the Director of College Relations and later Assistant to the President and then
Vice President of College Relations. In that capacity, I had alumni, fundraising,
public relations, development, the athletic program, the director of the Dee
Events Center, the Director of the Browning Center and campus security.
Elizabeth Dee Shaw knew my mother and lived in the old 10th Ward. The
Dee's and the Barker's and their families lived there on the other end of town.
They were entrepreneurs along the likes of David Eccles. Thomas "Grandpa"
Dee had developed several businesses and a number of other enterprises. His
granddaughter, Elizabeth, had inherited a considerable amount of money. She
married a man named Donnell Stewart and they had no children. They kind of
adopted us as a result of me serving as bishop. I interviewed them for a mission
and we became very close. We traveled with them extensively through Asia and
Europe. Donnell sponsored me in the Rotary Club of Ogden in which I've been
very active.
Elizabeth and Donnell gave millions of dollars to Weber and I was
instrumental in setting up a number of trusts that focused money from that source
into the university and community and have served on those foundations since.
We've since poured millions of dollars into the community and another 50 million
to Weber. In addition to the opportunity of raising money, I met a lot of great
people. I was on a first name basis with Val Browning. He was a marvelous guy
who was a million dollar donor several times over. J. Willard Marriott Sr. was
another great guy. I went to school with his son, Bill Marriott, at the University of
Utah. I went to Mr. Marriott's home in Maryland to pick up a check for a million
dollars. I knocked on the door and he answered the door himself. It impressed
me that there was no security. He answered the door in a sweater with a sleeve
that was broken out in the elbow. He was very unpretentious. He and his wife
were just salt of the Earth people. The Eccles' family was also great. I met people
like David Kennedy who was the secretary to the treasury. I had dinner with
Charleston Heston, Edgar Bergan, Shirley Chisom, John Wooden, Elliott
Richardson, and Gordon Liddy. The students would have them come as
speakers and would wisely ask someone to go along with them to make sure the
proper protocol was maintained. All of those were marvelous opportunities. The
one who stood out as the celebrity that I enjoyed the most was Neil Armstrong.
During the schools' Centennial Celebration I had the opportunity to meet him at
the airport and drove him to the Marriott Hotel in Ogden. Following his remarks at
commencement, I drove him back to the airport and had a chance to visit with
him one-on-one.
The period of time I served as Bishop from 1969 to 1972 was probably
the most difficult period of time in our marriage. I think it was a result of a number
of things. It was a transition period for me at work and as bishop. It was a tough
time and I mention that because I think we outgrew it and boating helped. Carol
had never had a great opportunity of camping like we had as kids, and we didn't
have a lot in common. The outdoor adventures that I loved weren't of interest to
her and it took a toll on us a little bit. She became very active in music, which I
admit I resented. I wanted total time and effort and acceptance and everything
that went along with it. The boating helped give us something in common. She
turned into a heck of a boater. She could cook up meals and our boating
experience really helped us heal. I loved Lake Powell and some of the fondest
memories I'll ever have are the times we shared with the family. All of you here
know that same love we had for Lake Powell and I've had my boat on Jackson
Lake, Flaming Gorge and Willard Bay. Those were great times.
We traveled extensively. We went to Asia we went to China, Japan, New
Zealand, Australia, Bali, and the Philippines. Later, I went with the Rotary
conventions to Holland, Germany, France, Luxemburg and all over England. We
had a marvelous time with friends traveling to England. We traveled to Mexico
where we all got the "Montezuma's Revenge." We had some tremendous
experiences there. Tahiti had always been a dream because I remember as a
kid, Rudean Allred had gone to Tahiti and the idea of going to Tahiti was always
a dream. I ended up getting a couple of weeks there and Carol didn't want to go.
She lacked the desire to go, so I went with my son, Kevin. We had a great time
I've had a few strange illnesses, I had a burst appendix and one time, I fell
out of a tree and dislocated my shoulder. I had a kidney stone on Memorial Day
that I will never forget, bypass surgery with five coronary bypasses and in Hawaii
on the anniversary date of my open heart surgery ended up with an upper GI
obstruction and had to go to the hospital at 2:00 in the morning after a 911 call by
my wife. That was a challenge to be in a strange city and to get me there. We
finally got that straightened out. I had cataract surgery and wear hearing aids that
don't work. We've been pretty much through the gamut. I am also a cancer
survivor, but that's another story.
I want to conclude by telling two or three of the miracles in my life and I'm
sure that there are many more. I don't think any of us are aware when angels
protect us. I think of Mother saying, "Don't climb the cliffs at the waterfall," and we
climbed the cliffs. I remember hitting a piece of dynamite with a hammer to see
what would happen. I would jump off the chicken coops with a parachute made
out of a bedspread and I can't imagine why I didn't break anything. I think when
the roll is called up yonder; we can look back in time and see some of the things
where it was only through divine intervention that we survived.
I wanted to mention this and one other thing in closing. I always felt like I
wasn't the best dad. I think back and I remember spanking one of the kids and I
don't even remember what it was over, but I remember my hand print on the little
bare bottom and it hurts me to even think about it now. It's bothered me and I
don't recall ever spanking the kids when I felt it wasn't justified. I really
appreciated Boyd Packer's talk about grandparents. I think I am a better
grandparent than a dad. I really love my grandkids, we only have six grandkids,
but I love them with all my heart. Some of them have special needs and different
challenges, but I made up my mind that I was going to be a good grandpa and
other than times of discipline, I've really enjoyed them. I've been more of a
companion and played with them when they were younger. They're growing up to
be teenagers now and I'm having a tough time because I can't get down to that
same level. I like to think that I was a good grandpa.
I wanted to tell another story that was a foundation to my testimony. I was
on my mission and I hadn't been out too long. I was a little discouraged and
hadn't received a letter from home for a long while. I had been working hard with
little success and we tracked down to a home one time and knocked on the door
and a little Japanese woman came to the door and we introduced ourselves. She
suddenly went hysterical and started to cry and weep inconsolably. The more we
tried to find out what was wrong, the harder she wept. We had been invited into
the home and sat down when she started to cry. It bothered us so much that we
finally just had to get up and walk out. Later, I called Sister Okimoto, who was a
member of the church and didn't live too far from this woman. I said, "We don't
know what happened, we didn't want to offend her." Sister Okimoto went and
visited her. She met us later and said, "This woman had been very concerned
over which church to join and had just knelt down and prayed that she might
know which church to join when there was a knock at the door and she opened it
up and there were two Mormon missionaries." That was really impressive to me. I
was transferred out of that area and I don't know whether she ever did join the
church or not.
Another experience I had on my mission was a lesson that wasn't so
much the testimony of seeing a miracle as much as a testimony of faith and
unity. On New Year's Day, we were having a district president's convention and
President Weig asked an old Hawaiian fisherman if we could help him with his
Hukilau. It was a tradition for him to take his nets out and the fish he caught on
New Year's Day was his tithing for the prior year. That was how he paid it. There
were ten or twelve of us and it turned out to be a boisterous sea and the waves
were very high. Some of the missionaries didn't want to go out, so Brother Kalili
said, "If you don't have the unity and the faith that we could go out and succeed, I
won't do it." We all went away and prayed about it and when we had the
impression that we were all together we went back and told him that. He said, "If
you are united, we will do it." We took the nets out and I was assigned to go out
and keep the nets off the coral. As we were pulling the nets in, I began to see
what I thought were sharks. As we got to shore, the net began to catch on some
big boulders and I'd go down to see what they were and all of a sudden a big
head came out. It was a huge sea turtle. The word got out that we caught a mess
of fish that was too heavy to pull in. There was over 100 yards of netting
extending out in the ocean. All of a sudden, the native villagers all came out and
helped the elders pull the nets to shore. We had caught four sea turtles, which in
that time were in high demand. The Japanese and the Chinese would eat them,
but the Hawaiians would not. Those represented a major source of income in
addition to a ton of fish that we caught in those nets. We couldn't even pull them
all in. It was a miracle in the understanding that unity and faith are inseparable
and there was a lesson taught. That event has gone down in the history. If you
go to any of the older people in Laie, they remember that event. All the
missionaries were invited to the next Hukilau.
I want to tell one other quick story. When we were living on Washington
and 36th Street, Carol was teaching piano to a little girl named Mary Kimball who
had a twin brother named Tommy. They lived across the street and they were an
inactive L.D.S. family. Tommy came over to the house one day and said, "Mrs.
Hurst, come quick. I just shot Mary." Carol went over to find the scene, which
was horrific. There was little Mary lying in a pool of blood on the kitchen floor. Her
brother had played with a rifle that the father had borrowed to go deer hunting.
He chambered a round and accidently fired it. The bullet went through her wrist,
struck her abdomen and disemboweled her. Pieces of her intestine and stomach
were all over the kitchen wall. Mary was totally conscious laying there and said to
Carol, "Mrs. Hurst, don't let me die. Please don't let me die." Carol called the
ambulance and at first they went by and she thought, "They're not going to stop,"
but they backed up. They came in, picked up her insides, put them back in the
cavity of her stomach, covered her with gauze and took her to the hospital. No
one expected her to live.
She did barely survive and about a week later her mother called and
asked, "Would you come and give a prayer for Mary?" I called Carol's father and
we went up to the hospital where her mother went in first and came out crying.
She said, "I don't know whether we should do this. She is in so much pain. I don't
know whether I want to prolong it." I said, "Bernice, do you want her to live or
not?" She said, "I want her to live." I said, "We will administer to her." So we
administered to her and Eddis anointed her and I sealed the anointing. I can see
the scene in my mind's eye as clear today as it was then with the blessing I
delivered. Here was this little child in a semi-reclining position in the bed and
there was no part of her body that didn't have a tube or a wire or something in it.
She just looked like a specimen stuck on a board and she was unconscious. I
gave her a blessing and felt prompted to give her a blessing of health and
strength, but the unusual thing that I said was that she would not only live, but
that she would be a mother. I finished saying that, sealed the blessing and as I
walked out the door, I turned to Brother Watkins and said, "I don't know why I
said that."
Well, she lived and went through many operations. She had a plastic
tummy and I remember I was working at Tanner's Store when the nurse came in
and said, "Mary had her first BM." That was a sign that Mary was functioning and
her body was working. I waited for another 12 years as she went on to survive.
She was homecoming queen at Weber College and a beautiful little blonde lady.
Later, she was married. One day, I picked up the paper and read that Mary had
just delivered a child. She had three children. They later said that the odd thing
about that wound was that it tore her stomach up, but it didn't touch her female
In conclusion, all of those are factors in that I have been blessed all my life
with the testimony that I know that God lives and Jesus is the Christ. I appreciate
my membership in the church because I don't know that I would have had the
temperament to join had I not been born in the gospel. I have been eternally
grateful that I was privileged to be born into a family that taught me those gospel
principles. I have enjoyed, loved, appreciate and testify and do so in the name of
Jesus Christ whose resurrection and atonement I value and appreciate so much,
and do so in His name, Amen.

The recent police raids are getting criminals off the streets and are getting a lot of attention. The raids are inspiring people to step up and support the police department's work in the community. "And as I saw the raid, I said 'Wow, this is something that I could do,'" says Todd Penn. His office inside the UAW Chrysler buildings is just steps away from the Martin Luther King homes, a community that had become known for drug dealing and prostitution. Detroit police swept through this complex just weeks ago and arrested 42 people. It's one of the high-profile raids Chief Craig says are designed to clean up Detroit's neighborhoods. He says the hard work of Detroit's finest is already making an impact. "We're talking about 67 fewer homicides; 88 fewer shootings - that's phenomenal," Chief Craig says. "If I didn't believe it in I wouldn't put myself out there to help him," says Penn. Penn and his plant safety managers, together, raised four thousand dollars. Their plan is to give eight families gift cards worth five hundred dollars this Christmas, and two of those families live in the King homes. UAW Chrysler is just one of a number of companies and nonprofits that have stepped up to help Detroit police bring a little holiday cheer to this community Thursday in an effort to show families that they're not only being protected, but also supported. For a second day in a row the Skillman Foundation hosted an early Christmas for DPD."They work so hard for us every single day. And we just believe that, as a community, we need to celebrate these local heroes," says Tonya Allen of the Skillman Foundation. "It just shows that the community appreciates the work that the Detroit Police Department [does] every day," says Chief Craig.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer has won the Democratic primary for New York City comptroller. His win ends disgraced ex-Gov. Eliot Spitzer's surprise bid to reclaim his political career.
Stringer has a 52-percent-to-48-percent lead over Spitzer in incomplete and unofficial returns Tuesday night, with 92 percent of precincts reporting.
Stringer has spent 20 years as borough president and a state assemblyman. He was heavily favored in the comptroller race before Spitzer jumped into it in July.
Stringer portrayed himself as a knowledgeable public servant. He emphasized the prostitution scandal that spurred Spitzer's 2008 resignation.
It happened after Spitzer was identified as a client of an escort service under federal investigation. He was never charged but later acknowledged he'd paid for sex.
Stringer will face Republican and other candidates in November.

Uterine prolapse occurs when pelvic floor muscles and ligaments stretch and weaken, providing inadequate support for the uterus. The uterus then slips down into or protrudes out of the vagina.
Uterine prolapse can happen to women of any age, but it often affects postmenopausal women who've had one or more vaginal deliveries. Damage to supportive tissues during pregnancy and childbirth, effects of gravity, loss of estrogen, and repeated straining over the years all can weaken your pelvic floor and lead to uterine prolapse.
If you have mild uterine prolapse, treatment usually isn't needed. But if uterine prolapse makes you uncomfortable or disrupts your normal life, you might benefit from treatment.
Uterine prolapse varies in severity. You may have mild uterine prolapse and experience no signs or symptoms. If you have moderate to severe uterine prolapse, you may experience:
Uterine prolapse doesn't require treatment unless it's severe. If your signs and symptoms become bothersome and disrupt your normal activities, make an appointment with your doctor to discuss your options.
Pregnancy and trauma incurred during childbirth, particularly with large babies or after a difficult labor and delivery, are the main causes of muscle weakness and stretching of supporting tissues leading to uterine prolapse. Loss of muscle tone associated with aging and reduced amounts of circulating estrogen after menopause also may contribute to uterine prolapse. In rare circumstances, uterine prolapse may be caused by a tumor in the pelvic cavity.
Certain factors may increase your risk of uterine prolapse:
Some conditions, such as obesity, chronic constipation and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), can place a strain on the muscles and connective tissue in your pelvis and may play a role in the development of uterine prolapse.
Possible complications of uterine prolapse include:
Make an appointment with your family doctor or gynecologist if you have signs or symptoms of uterine prolapse that bother you or interfere with your normal activities.
Here's some information to help you prepare for your appointment and know what to expect from your doctor.
For uterine prolapse, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
During your appointment, don't hesitate to ask other questions as they occur to you.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, such as:
Tests or exams to diagnose uterine prolapse include:
Imaging tests, such as an ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), aren't generally needed for uterine prolapse. But they're sometimes helpful in assessing the degree of prolapse.
If you have mild uterine prolapse, either without symptoms or with symptoms that don't bother you, you probably don't need treatment. However, your pelvic floor may continue to lose tone, making uterine prolapse more severe as time goes on. Check back with your doctor to monitor the extent of your prolapse and review your symptoms.
Simple self-care measures, such as performing exercises called Kegels to strengthen your pelvic muscles, may provide symptom relief. Maintaining a healthy weight and avoiding heavy lifting may help reduce pressure on supportive pelvic structures.
For more-severe cases of uterine prolapse, treatment options include:
Vaginal pessary. This device fits inside your vagina and holds your uterus in place. Used as temporary or permanent treatment, vaginal pessaries come in many shapes and sizes, so your doctor will measure and fit you for the proper device. You'll also learn how to insert, remove and clean the pessary. You may be able to take the pessary out overnight and reinsert it each day.
But a vaginal pessary may be of little use if you have severe uterine prolapse. Also, a vaginal pessary can irritate vaginal tissues, possibly to the point of causing sores (ulcers) on vaginal tissues, and it may interfere with sexual intercourse.
Surgery. To repair damaged or weakened pelvic floor tissues, doctors often use a vaginal approach to surgery, although sometimes doctors recommend an abdominal surgery. A hysterectomy, which removes your uterus, also may be needed.
As an alternative to vaginal and abdominal surgery, your doctor may recommend minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery. This procedure involves smaller abdominal incisions, special surgical instruments and a lighted camera-type device (laparoscope) to guide the surgeon.
In some cases, surgical repair may be possible through a graft of your own tissue, donor tissue or some synthetic material onto weakened pelvic floor structures to support your pelvic organs.
Which surgery and surgical approach your doctor recommends depends on your individual needs and circumstances. Each surgery has pros and cons that you'll need to discuss with your surgeon.
If you plan to have more children, you might not be a good candidate for surgery to repair uterine prolapse. Pregnancy and delivery of a baby put strain on the supportive tissues of the uterus and can undo the benefits of surgical repair. Also, for women with major medical problems, the risks of surgery might outweigh the benefits. In these instances, pessary use may be your best treatment choice for bothersome symptoms.
Talk with your doctor to learn your options, including the benefits and risks.
Depending on the severity of your condition, these self-care measures may provide relief:
Kegel exercises strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, which support the uterus, bladder and bowel. A strong pelvic floor provides better support for your pelvic organs and relief from symptoms associated with uterine prolapse.
To perform Kegel exercises, follow these steps:
Ask your health care provider for feedback on whether you're using the right muscles. Kegel exercises may be most successful when they're taught by a physical therapist and reinforced with biofeedback. Biofeedback involves using monitoring devices that help ensure you're tightening the proper muscles with optimal intensity and length of time.
Once you've learned the proper method, you can do Kegel exercises discreetly just about anytime, whether you're sitting at your desk or relaxing on the couch.
Although uterine prolapse isn't always preventable, you may be able to decrease your risk if you:

With everybody and his uncle joining the feeding freezy surrounding the George Zimmerman not guilty verdict, there was no good reason to leave state lawmakers out of this story. So when asked, they jumped in. The GOP leader has no problem with a review of Michigan's version of the Florida Stand Your Ground law. Our's sounds more homey...the Castle doctrine. It allows anyone to pop an intruder if her or she figures they may be popped first.While Sen. Randy Richardville may be on board, former sheriff turned GOP Senator Rick Jones couldn't disagree more. "Is there any reason to revisit it...? He asks and then answers, "Absolutely not."Mr. Richardville and Mr. Jones are not always two amigos. They have a "history" as they say in the biz and here's one more issue that divideds the two."Issues that happen in other parts of the country cause us to re-look from time to time. It's always a good idea to revisit laws that we have in place and see if they make sense in comparison. That's not unusual," the logical side of Mr. Richardville's brain appears.Mr. Jones, who helped write the Castle law (named after the notion that a man's castle is his home), sees no logic. In fact he fears if they re-oepn this debate, "somebody would like to gut it."He dismisses all the fervor over these self-defense laws as being a fundraiser for various groups. He didn't mention the NAACP by name. "What we have here are a few people trying to make some money for their organization by stirring up political stuff on this. They're making money and in the meanwhile, they're starting riots."The senate GOP leader has not elevated this review to the top of the legislative "to-do" list saying, "I'm not saying I'm going to do anything except take a look at what we've got going and what's happening down there (Florida) and do some comparison...I'm not opposed to anybody who wants to take this on as a priority."You won't see the sheriff raising his hand on that one.

SPOKANE, Wash. - A man is in custody after leading police on a wild chase throughout southeast and northeast Spokane, finally ending the pursuit near the Esmerelda Gold Course.
Early Friday morning police received a call from a woman in the 900 block of N. Napa saying that a man she had a restraining order against was sitting outside her house in his car.
When police arrived on scene and tried to make contact with the man, he sped off and a high speed chase ensued. The man raced onto the lower South Hill and then back north, missing spike strips in the process that police had set up on Freya.
He drove up onto Beacon Hill from Minnehaha and then crashed near the Esmerelda Golf Course where he was arrested. Several cars were damaged but there were no injuries.
Medics were called because he was in a state of "excited delirium." He is facing several charges.

Artists Get Textual
It was only at the start of the 20th century that artists began using prose and poetry with paint. The dadaist movement used text as a tool for its anti-art, and later the relationship evolved as pop artists merged letters and numbers with images. Art and Text from Black Dog Publishing looks at how artists—from John Baldessari and René Magritte to Jean-Michel Basquiat and Tracey Emin—have expressed themselves in both images and words.

Crowds gathered across the metro Atlanta area to celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on Monday. A large crowd gathered in the Sweet Auburn District to remember the civil rights icon. They first took in the annual commemorative service at Ebenezer Baptist Church, and then snapped photos and talked about Dr. King.
"I really think that it's a significant day, being both the inauguration and the day that we honor Dr. King and thinking about the connections and the progress that's been made in civil rights. It's really important to honor that legacy ," said Laura Seay. Families of all races and spanning across generations took time to remember and to reflect. Amber Windom took her son Jackson to see the King Memorial's eternal flame. "He has lots of friends of many different colors and he loves them all. We try to show him that it would not be possible without the efforts of Dr. King," Windom said. Monday was on the second time in history that MLK Day coincided with the presidential inauguration. The nation's first black president, President Barack Obama, took the oath for his second term in a public ceremony on Monday. "Civil rights is an issue for every generation and that educating our children about it is very important if we want to continue with the gains we have made," said Seay.
