Happy Birthday Clyde! In the spirit of President Nelsons message about "gratitude" last week, I want to express my gratitude to you and other classmates for your friendship when my family moved to Provo during our Junior Year. Shauna and I are pretty much hunkering down during the pandemic, hoping for an effective vaccine. We prays for everyone's health and safety. Bob and Shauna Valentine, Highland, UT
I tried to attach some pictures of Connie but it did not work. Sorry. Bob Valentine

Happy Birthday Jay. Best wishes from Bob and Shauna Valentine, Highland, UT. We hope you are well and happy. After we all get vaccinated, we can hold a picnic with our PHS 1960 classmates, perhaps next summer.

Happy Birthday Lorraine. Do you prefer Lorraine or Zelma. I remember you as Lorraine. Hope you are well and happy in Albuquerque. Maybe we can have a reunion next summer. Do you ever think of moving back to Utah? Actually Utah Valley is getting over-populated. Home everywhere, right down to the lake. Best wishes, Bob and Shauna Valentine, Highland, UT.

Hi Marie: Is your access to our website working now? Happy Birthday to you. Hope you are safe and happy! Shauna and I are eager to get vaccinated with any vaccination available. We mostly read and organize our junk. We have to make an appointment to take our stuff to the Deseret Industries store in American Fork. Good stuff, mostly, but our kids don't want it. Maybe we can all get together next summer. Bob and Shauna Valentine, Highland, UT

Happy Birthday Doc from Bob and Shauna Valentine who live in Highland. We hope you are well and happy. We hope to get together for some kind of picnic next summer after we have all been vaccinated. Shauna and I are pretty much isolated. We take long rides but mostly stay home and read and try to get rid of stuff. I have very fond memories of our sixty year friendship.

Bob …..
Garth Bray was a classic! Most of us who played baseball with him referred to him as “Booger Nose Bray! However, his notoriety came from his 100+ mph fastball, that, for a high school baseball pitcher was nearly impossible to hit.
My first recollection of Garth Bray was as a nine year old Little Leaguer in Provo in 1950-51. Garth’s dad, Max Bray, was coaching one of the Little League teams and Garth was his ace pitcher. My older brother, Don Griffiths, was coaching the A.L. Duckett Little League Team. We had just finished one of our practices when Max called out to my brother Don, “Hey Griff, bring your little brother over here and let my son, Garth, throw a few pitches to him.” Well, the fear of almighty heaven struck me down. I had seen Garth pitch, knew of his exceptional speed (even as a nine year old), but also knew that he didn’t have any control of his pitches. Well, my brother agreed, handed me a bat, and pushed me into the batters box! Garth was anxious to impress my brother, so he reared back and threw with all his might, and to my dismay the ball struck me in the rib cage. From that time forward, for another nine to ten years, whenever I faced off with Garth Bray, I always remembered that first encounter, his lack of control, and getting hit in the ribs. (By the way, I still have a bruise where he hit me!)
Fast forward to 1960 and the old Timp Baseball Park where Provo High School played its home games. Our battery (Pitcher & Catcher) for that particular game was Garth Bray, pitcher, and Wayne Clarke, catcher. I was playing second base for that game. The game was in the first inning when Wayne Clarke came charging from behind home plate toward the pitching mound. Wayne was livid, furious! I got to the mound about the same time as Wayne to find out what had made him so angry. He screamed at Garth and shouted, “* * * dammit Garth, when I signal for a fast ball, I expect you to throw a fast ball, and when I signal for a curve ball, I expect you to throw a curve ball! What the * * * * are you doing??? Garth’s reply was, “Wayne, I can’t see your fingers!” Wayne wheeled around and called for Coach Leonard McKay. When Coach McKay got to the mound, Wayne calmly reported that Bray couldn’t see the signals and was blind. To make a long story short, within a couple of days, Garth was fitted with eyeglasses, which greatly improved his eyesight, his pitching control, and his relationship with Wayne Clarke, his catcher. We ended up winning the region baseball title and went on to play for the State Championship behind the pitching of our ace, Garth Bray.
It was an honor to be his teammate.
