Let's pretend your are in Nephi, Utah, and it is the night before Father's Day in 1960; all the food stores are closed; you need eggs for breakfast..what ya goin do?

Let's go back in time.....there were the food stores in Nephi including the Myer's place, IGA; Ralph's; Allen's and Lynn's Market, but they were not open after supper time. Your father wants his bacon and eggs for Father's day. You already got your side of pork from Bosh and Bosh, but what are you going to do without eggs! Well, if you didn't have your own chickens and eggs, you could easily knock on the doors of Earl Warner or Alton Gadd, and they would sell you a dozen, regardless of the time. Alton may not have smiled  about it, but his wife-Lucille Gadd, would do it in a heart beat. Earl Warner was locally born and raised, but had more interests than discussing which came first-the chicken or the egg, but he would logically discuss it with you. He was a graduate of Nephi High, then the Agricultural College(USU) in Logan. He loved education and very involved with his first wife's-Alburta's teaching career. But down deep, his real love......was....hold on....being a member of the "Nebo Knights". They were a musical group, and he loved playing in that and the organ at many weddings. He was also fond of Juab County, having been the County Clerk for several years. The first photo is of the always smiling Earl. The second photo is of Lucille Gadd, the wife of Alton, and the go-to-gal to get the eggs, even if it was midnight. She never hesitated to help anybody. She too was born and raised in Nephi, her mother's family being from the original Foote family. Lucille knew how to drive a horse; and did so like she was at the Derby. She worked in various clerical and secretarial capacities, and as such, became friends with LaVon Jones, who is the woman in front of the Gadd home in the third photo taken with top notch 1960's camera. If you look closely at that photo....yup, she is carrying eggs. The home is still there, and in those days, Alton would let us shoot pheasants in his back pastures, as there were no homes in the back yard then and the pheasants ate his chicken feed. The home is still there, at about 2 3/4 blocks above the Nephi City Cemetery, on the north side....yup, right there, you got it.
