My Life in Theater: Fiddler on the Roof 1988?

I portrayed the part of the rich butcher, who is jilted in love.  I helped sing the song L'chaim as I became engaged to Tevye's daughter.  However it was not to be.  Blain Pierce portrayed Tevye.  He is so talented.  It was a fun experience.  Singing "Anatevka" with the cast at the end was very moving, as everyone had to move on.

Nels was the professional theater teacher at Utah State Extension

Not sure but I think Nels did the artwork

Sky View people may remember Wendy as Wendy Wardle

I look good with a beard, Cllint works wonders on sets

Chris is now drama teacher at Uintah High School, Lianne was very talented

Wayne wrote the music for Star of Justice

Memoriam Skyview Class of 1975

This is a memorial to those form the class of 1975 who have passed on.  Dean has maintained a list on the Sky View High School class of 1975 Facebook group. The song is from the album made by the choir that year and is entitled "Time is my Friend."  Sorry about the crackling.  If you stand back it sounds OK.

I could not find pictures in the Senior yearbook for all.  Vance Douglas is from junior year.  He lived in our ward.  Wendy Wardle Thomas also lived in our ward.  The picture is from a musical we did together in Vernal.  One time I accidentally broke her nose in a performance.  Leslee Clawson lived a few doors down from me when we were young, second, third and fourth grades.  I danced with her in third grade for the May Day Festival.  Donna Miller also lived in Hyrum.

Wendy Wardle Thomas

Earlier this year, Neil Frank, a friend of mine from growing up, posted on Facebook that Wendy Wardle Thomas had passed away.  I knew she had been in poor health, but thought she was getting better.

Wendy moved into Hyrum when we were in junior high school.   Her parents had moved to town to mange the Sambo’s Restaurant that had just opened in Logan.  We shared the same last name, which was very unusual, but our families did not know each other before they moved in.  They were Vernal Wardles, and we were Idaho Wardles.  If you looked back far enough, there probably was a connection, but not in our recent genealogies.

The Wardles lived in our ward for a few years, and Wendy's father played the organ.  My mom, a fellow organ play, use to comment on how well he could play the pedals.

The most memorable time we had with them was a triple date (sort of as we weren't yet 16) to Lagoon.  It turned out that James Salvesen, who went with us, paired up with Wendy.  My brother paired up with Wendy's sister, Tina.  I was paired with a friend of their's from the Vernal area.  I wasn't very impressed with her.  We did have fun on the rides, but before the end of the night, I sort of gave up on the rides because I didn't want to sit by her anymore.  I wasn't very sensitive in those days.

Most of my older siblings worked for her father at Sambo's.  (The restaurant where Sambo's was, is now Angie's in Logan.) 

Wendy went through most of high school at Sky View with us.  However she and her family moved back to Vernal before she graduated.

When we moved to the Basin some years later, and I was involved in drama in Vernal, I became reacquainted with she and her husband, Thomas Thomas.  They were in some of the early Outlaw Trail Festival play, "Star of Justice."  Wendy's character, and her egg money were the victims of A Butch Cassidy and Elza Lay bank robbery.  I held the horses for them.  Her father portrayed a man that was the victim of a shooting which was the plot of the play, and then her husband portrayed a worker who had a tooth ache.  They were fun times.

We took a scene from the musical to the state fair.  It was a dance with a fight in the end.  The staging was different and more crowded.  There was a part when everything turned to chaos.  Wendy would be on the ground. Somehow in the crowded conditions I fell on her face, and broke her nose.  Gives a new meaning to "Break a leg."  I don't think she faulted me.  Her nose would break easily because of past injuries, she said.

We moved shortly after that, and only more recently had re-met via Facebook.  However she is gone now.  Another friend gone too early
