Another Hyrum loss: Brother Dorigatti

I noticed the obituary for James L. Dorigatti in the Herald Journal through Facebook.  There was a time I travelled considerably with Brother Dorigatti.  The second year my brother coached at Tintic High School, his son Richard transferred to his school and played for him.  They had a good team and made it to the state championship.  Anyway, often I would travel with Brother Dorigatti in his Pontiac Transam.  One time we travelled to Rich County for a game.  He told me how he had started his career there and the influence he had reducing the number of teen pregnancies.  We travelled elsewhere.  He told of his niece being murdered by Ted Bundy.

I took classes from him at Utah State University.  I took Old Testament from him.  He actually made the old testament interesting.  He was very good at telling stories.

We also maintained a relationship with the entire family, and visited in their home.  Charlie and Richard were the same age.  They played basketball and football together.  His wife Ingrid, worked for the Athletic department at Utah State University.  She would often get us tickets to a game.  I was aware of her tragic death in a three-wheeler accident.  I was not aware he remarried.  The obituary informed me of this.

Sheri almost makes the play; but not quite.  Miranda recorded this.  One of our funniest family videos.

Picking Beans

 When I was fairly young, maybe eighth grade, I took employment during the summer at picking beans for different farmers in Hyrum.  I think my mother or father arranged for the job.  I worked with my siblings.  This was a job where you were paid by the amount you picked.  There were those that were faster at getting the weight, but they were not ver thorough at getting all the beans.  I always worked with pole beans.  I worked at several different fields and for different farmers.  It took a lot of picking to make even a little money.  I am pretty sure this is my first of any type of employment.

Art: Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso by Hans L Jaffe, Harry N Abrams, Publishers, New York, 1983.
This is the second Pablo Picasso book I have gotten from the library.  I must admit, sometimes I get his art, and sometimes I don't.  He was very prolific in terms of the number of projects he finished every year.  This book seems to have a couple of themes.  One is women with their breasts exposed.  However, these pictures are often done in a distorted style.  The other is the dove of peace. 


If there were a third theme it would be portraits, but distorted to be unrecognizable.
