He wasn't from Nephi, but pretty dang close. Glen Boyer was born and raised in Hoytsville, Utah. But since two of his sisters married young men from Nephi, we accept him as one of our own. Even at his funeral, we would admit any of his worldly faults, but nobody could come with any! Glen was much like his father, who at the age of 80, could get his horse to stand still and shoot a big buck(nobody in the Boyer or Jones family ain't never ever seen a "small buck")! One of the Boyer gals hitched up with a Nephi McPherson and another tied the knot with a Jones. Those two familiar names go back to Mormon Pioneer times, and it just so happens that one of each sailed to England to serve LDS Missions in the 1800's. We will leave the rest of the story to the program folks. And by the way, what a send off by the American Legion. It sent chills down my arthritic old spine.
