I had a different leaving-for-college-experience than dad did. It was a family affair, Bev, Mel, Sue, Barb and Fred. I know Fred our dog must have gone because Barb is holding his dish and food in the picture above. I think my dad was astonished at all the stuff I took and lined it up for this great picture. I am glad he did, although it is a little bit embarrassing.
It all fit in our snazzy station wagon which we called "The President's Car" for years because we bought it from President Mabey when we moved from Bountiful. I think I am responsible for the lovely dents in the back of the car - Sorry Mom!!!

| I moved right into Fugal Hall of Heritage Halls - right on campus. It was all decked out to welcome us. This last trip I saw that it had been torn down to make way for New Heritage. |
My mom and dad were so good to me to buy this stunningly beautiful butter-yellow Samsonite luggage. I still have it. Currently it is filled with Rachel's shoes underneath the girl's bed. I just can't seem to part with it - although I just tossed the makeup piece. I look pretty happy in this picture. You would never know I cried most of the first night I was so homesick.

| Typewriter (my graduation gift from my parents. It was my dad's old one. He gave it to me when he got a brand spanking new one), poster, Peanuts pillowcase (to match the Peanuts garbage can shown in the first picture) and hot rollers. How else do you think I could get that cute hairdo??? |
My first semester report card - not too bad. A- in Karate. I think it is the grade I am most pleased with. I'll match your wrestling dad and raise you one.
Ah, there are so many things on which to comment... First, you are too modest. You did not mention that you were not just a resident of Fugal Hall, you were MISS FUGAL HALL. The competition included performing a talent, baking a cake, and probably how to wear a neck scarf. I love the hiking boots in the first photo. You were just the kind of girl I was looking for, outdoorsey, adventurous and with hot roller done hair. Oh, yeah.
ReplyDeleteI think it was part of the BYU curriculum back then that you had to take a courtship-and-marriage-prep class such as karate or wrestling... etc... No wonder we have always gotten along so well and resolved our disagreements so quickly.
OBTW... What is in the big yellow bag?
ReplyDeletePortable hanging rod - Man I had a lot of stuff.
ReplyDeleteWow! Look how good you have ALWAYS been at documenting! I am so sad I don't have a picture of Heritage Halls from when I was there, now that it has been demolished. And I loved Uncle Kent's comment...no surprise that you were MISS FUGAL hall! Love it! Love this post!
