A historical look back through the pages of the Payson Roundup at my involvement here in Payson

1. From the pages of The Payson Roundup
MY HISTORY IN PAYSON

2. We moved to Payson in
1981. By the mid 80’s our
family acquired an old
boarded up 1300 square
foot house (originally built
in 1926) at 202 West
Main Street. We
completely restored it and
opened it as a home
decor and gift store just
before Christmas of 1986.

3. We then expanded and added a lunch only tea room featuring gourmet
soup/salad sandwich and some of Diane’s now world famous pies. Between
the store and the tea room we created a kind of Cracker Barrel style
atmosphere…but with much niftier stuff. We were packed every day.

4. We eventually added on a large commercial kitchen to accommodate a need
for upscale fine dining (steak & sea food) and our growing catering business.
Life was good…and VERY busy.

5. During quite a few of
these years I was also
working at KMOG Radio
back when their studios
were out in Star Valley.

6. Over the years I emceed so
many local events that I lost
count. This photo is from 20
years ago when I was auctioning
off Charlene Brown (a local
police officer at the time) for
charity. Yes Charlene and I go
back quite a ways. Despite my
best attempts to sell her off,
she’s still here (grin)…and I’m
glad.

7. Spent a little time serving on the
Payson Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors

8. Also worked for the Payson
Economic Development
Corporation

9. After my first relief trip to
Calcutta India and
Dhaka Bangladesh I
sensed a calling to help
people in need. While
that calling has taken
me to over 30 countries,
the call now is to once
again make a difference
right here at home. I
believe I can and I am
asking for your vote.
