Tracy Booth. Episode Two.

Tracy Booth approved of the blog information we submitted on what it was like to grow up in Nephi, Utah during the 1950's and 60's. He left out a couple things he wanted to add, and I forgot to add a most important shot of his license plate. As a kid, he remembered the sheep herds that came through Nephi on their way back and forth to the west desert. Some came down 7th North when there wasn't a golf course there, and another escape route was to the south in to what is now called "Sheep Lane". Tracy remembered the south part of Nephi walkways replaced by cement, but when they needed to have heavy snow cleaned off, the south was cleaned off by the father of Jim Parks(now Jim McWilliams) who was nicknamed Gunpowder Parks. He used a wooden sled pulled by two horses, followed by every barking stray dog in city limits. On the north side of Nephi, it was Jon(or John) Jackson, who lived about a half  block south of Raymond Jackson, and was either a brother or uncle to Ray and walked with a limp. He also used a horse and wooden sled. If you see the red hot Chevy with "Mt. Nebo" on it, you will know Tracy is back home. Yes, he does like to climb Mt. Nebo, having found a hidden note on the trail hid there many years ago by two of the Jones boys. Tracy also wanted to point out that "marrying that Jenkins girl from the 3rd ward next to the hollow was a real wise choice by me.(Hell, even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while)". As previously noted, Tracy Booth became "infamous" in scaring a teacher at Juab High in the 1960's, then became famous in his repeated words of wisdom in his letters to the editors of Salt Lake papers, and for graduating from Juab High School; Snow College then Weber State, then two tours of duty in Viet Nam with a Navy helicopter squadron. Yes, Tracy you are our true to life hero. We all take our hats off to you.
