The 156th Ward 'Corn Night Reunion'


Mon. Oct. 15, 2012
It’s been 3 weeks since I had my last chemo and 2 weeks since I had my last radiation treatment. I’m feeling much better except for fatigue. I haven’t had to take a nap since last Wednesday, but I do need to get off my feet in the evening after dinner and just watch tv or relax a bit.
Tonight we had a BYU 156th Ward Reunion Corn Night at Brother Ross Wright’s home. Lincoln served in the Bishopric of the 156th ward with Ross and Brad Norton served as Bishop. We used to gather in the Fall at the Wright home and pick corn out of his enormous backyard garden and eat dutch oven potatoes, homemade salsa, apple dump cake and more. We ended up having about 30 people come and spend a few hours reminiscing about the good old days, 7 years ago, when we were in the same ward. A hand full of the kids were married, two brought their little children and others just updated on us how their lives are going now. We each took a moment to share a memory of the old ward and how it had impacted our lives. It was so awesome! I’m grateful for the time that I had to be there and to rub shoulders with these terrific young people.
