<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Here is the speech.</span></strong><br />
<br />
I have been asked to tell a little about Curtis. He was ambitious from a very young boy; nothing seemed too hard for him. I guess that’s why he climbed the power pole, causing the loss of his legs.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Curtis worked at jobs out side of the home when he was in the 6<sup>th</sup> grade helping the grade school Janitor sweep floors after school. He started moving irrigation pipes while in Jr High. Something young men and boys did to earn money.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">He and his friends when not working would find fun things to do like building a lean-to along the river close to where we lived. When done with that would say now what will we do?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They built a clubhouse and furnished it with items from their parents’ homes. They played ball and biked.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">When I stared back teaching, he and his younger brother did the breakfast dishes and made their beds before we left for school. What he did he did well. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Curtis received his Eagle Scout at 14 before any other boy his age in our ward; it was all on his own, and he received the Order of the Arrow. He also received his Duty to God Award.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Curtis was a natural born leader and worked very hard at what he did. Curtis was Vice President of the Student body, Sports Editor to the school paper, when he was a senior in high school.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">While at <place w:st="on"><placename w:st="on">Ricks</placename> <placename w:st="on">College</placename></place> (now BYUI) he designed wheelchair entrances to buildings and ramps. He also did the same at BYU, while he was there. It was one of the few Universities in the nation able to handle handicapped students at that time.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Curtis received two Bachelors degrees and a Masters in Education at BYU. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">As you know he won the Boston Marathon in 1980 and more at St George. He would run in the July24th pioneer <place w:st="on">Marathon</place> many years and won most of them.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Curtis was a great son, we may have had differences, but never left without saying we loved each other and meant it.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Curtis loved his family; he was a wonderful father and grandfather. He loved spending time with each of the members of his family and playing with his grandchildren.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Curtis loved his Heavenly Father and was always devoted to his callings, he had many of them. He loved people; he tried to make everyone feel special. He was patient, kind and spoke to every one. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">He reached out to those in less fortunate circumstances and gave them an example and a “WILL” to achieve greatness in their own lives.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Curtis was not selfish and shared his achievement with others though his motivational speaking. He wanted everyone to believe in themselves the way he believed in them. He lost his legs but never his spirit. He had a great smile for everyone.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 26pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">He wanted people to know like he said in his first book a “WILL TO WIN” no matter what your trials may be set goals and go for them.</span> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

We ate a nice lunch there and bought a huge apple pie. </div><p align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sup4SYGYFwE/TUzI9pfaMrI/AAAAAAAAATU/Ko286bc69PA/s1600/IMG_2730.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570047800585630386" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sup4SYGYFwE/TUzI9pfaMrI/AAAAAAAAATU/Ko286bc69PA/s320/IMG_2730.JPG" /></a></p><div align="center">We wandered around to see what was there.

We left Salt Lake airport January 8, 2010 to LA,CA. Leaving there for Santiago, Chile, just a stop on to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. We arrived early afternoon. We sprnt the next two days there to to see the sights. The ones that stand out in my mine are the stone statue of Christ the Redeemer, and the ride to the top of Sugarloaf Mountian. spent our nights at JW Marriott resort.<br />Day 3 January 11 Flew to Iguazu it is between Brazil and Argentina, we saw it from both sides there are 275 falls in all , few waterfalls in the world can compare to the beatuy and majesty of the Iguazu Falls. We spent the night in the Panoramic Hotel Iguazu, on the Argentina side.<br />Some took a boat ride up the river to the falls I did not want to climb back up the hills, but I saw as much as the rest from where the guide took me and 4 other people. We saw some nose bears, a lot of butterflies.<br />Day 6 we will fly to Buenos Aires to board the ship.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08132967533697556835noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7339029280558919695.post-6187363942287567632010-07-13T06:30:00.000-07:002010-07-13T06:38:16.618-07:00Katherine and Desiree will be going home this morning it will be a sad day for me ,I will miss them.

I had my nephews come and dig up my cattails it was great that Alan, Michael, and Gary came to do it. <br /> We had pizza and fruit smootie which I made which was very good, Desi really liked it. <br /> Marj had invited us to come over to her place to play games. We played Progressive Rummy and I lost. We went downstairs to play her Wii Sport. We played bowling and Desi won the first game and Marj came in second, I came in third, and the next game Desi won again Marj and Katherine both tied for second, and I was last. We had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. It was a<strong> GREAT</strong> day! Now Desi is teaching me how to put my blog on.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08132967533697556835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7339029280558919695.post-43208079042308387322010-07-05T15:01:00.000-07:002010-08-11T22:58:12.272-07:00FamilyKatherine, Alyssa, and Desi came up to windy Idaho to get out of the heat! They were hungry because they left at 6:00 in the morning so we had chicken salad sandwitches. Then they all went to sleep except Desi. Desi and I ran to the bank but it was closed because of the holiday. Now Desi is helping me set up a blog and she is typing this right now!!! ( Grandma is telling me what to say though!)this is as far as we got in July.<br /><br />I have just spent an hour writing a new blog and lost it all so I will try it again. The best time of Summer is when some of my Children come to Idaho. While the girls were here we took a drive to Jackson WY, and on to Yellowstone. We spent a short time in Jackson did a little shopping and ate our lunch there in a park. We drove on to Teton Park area took our time stopped to take pictures. Then on into Yellowstone Park. We go to the park quite often most each year when the kids come up so we did not spend much time looking at things we did see bison, and elk, got some pictures of them.<br /> We had tickets to the Play Mills to see Seven Brothers and Seven Brides, We aways enjoy the show at the Playmills and of course we have to have Pizza at Petes, as Desi says it is tradition, then there is the long drive home thanks to Katherine she drives home.<br />When I am with the kids either here or at there place we go to a movie that is about the only time I go. We went to Letters to Juliet it is a real good movie only I slept though most of it. At least I did get to see it a few weeks later Marjorie and I went to it, I saw it all this time.<br /> The rest of the summer I do a little yard work when it need to be done. I read a lot.<br /><br />We have the Bill Reeds family reuion at the Farm, those of the family that can come, it is always fun to see brothers and sister and their families we are now to the part where we have greatgrandchildren, we spend the after noon some times we go up to the old house it is falling down little by little. It is so beautiful up there you can see all the fields many miles up the country to the mountains, looking east and west way down in the valley to Ririe, and some of the Snake River, you go up on the hill back of the house and can see many more fields to the south.<br /><br />When winter comes it is the time I go to AZ, and CA where the girls live, I go to visit Curtis off and on other times and I also get to see the college grand kids that go to BYU and curtis's kids and my great grandchildren.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08132967533697556835noreply@blogger.com0
