I ran across this 42 year old copy of the local newspaper in Nephi, and if you didn't know the year or the people in it, one could make all kinds of thoughts about the who and the wherefores of what took place. We could distort the information on either page and declare that "Russ is on a Bender" when we didn't explain that Russ Bender is a real person. Or how about the three then young girls selling on the streets, or how about a young Army Vet can only be a Legal Medic if he gets a paper to say he was trained by the best in the world-the United States Army in various medical schools, but nothing like being on the front lines with the 9th Infantry in Viet Nam. And still when he is in his mid 70's he is still a Medic. We saw a heavy set lady go down outside a diner. While customers "gawked", Hal was outside to assist. Then with the speedway up American Fork Canyon two weeks ago, he noticed a woman was down on the rocks below the road. Hal jumped from the vehicle and was down to assist her and determined it was a sprained ankle and to keep the shoe on. I directed the vehicle to control traffic and the "Utah Gawkers" that sped by. Read the paper and find what you wish from a time when news in Nephi was good news and truthful. Rather than watch the fire burn the house down, many of us locals are going in to pull the people out to safety. Are you a Gawker or a Doer?
