Spouse: Terry Weddle

Update Apr 2017

I have published a novel titled SARAH'S BEAST. My pen name is Frank Purle and the book is now on Amazon as well as Barnes and Noble

A review the webguy found on-line: Los Angeles California, the crowned jewel of the west. A place where anything is possible. A place of wealth, glamour and greed. An apocalyptic city built on the broken dreams of thousands of men and women looking to make their fortunes, looking for that brass ring, looking for the opportunity to walk a red carpet. If you are lucky enough you can find its secrets, the keys to everything, the keys to POWER. Shunning a privileged life Sarah leaves the comforts of wealth. Embarking on a quest of self discovery, Sarah hopes to find an inner peace, a place for herself in the world. Lured by the beast that is Los Angeles, Sarah arrives and sets up roots, meets a man and has a child hoping to find her place in the world. But even with all this, she is empty, without love or empathy for those around her. Walking on Wilshire Blvd Sarah discovers a door to a small establishment, As she walks through, Sarah discovers a place of new wonders, a place of acceptance, a place with its own Gods. As Sarah starts her walk down the left hand path her quest for peace turns to a lust for power and control. A quest to rule with her God at her side. However there is a price for this type of power, will Sarah be able to make the necessary sacrifices? Will she find the love and acceptance of a God as old as time?

Most of all I fill my life with my family. We moved to Tooele, UT to be with grandchildren, great-grandchildren and children. Magical time in our lives.

Update Aug 21, 2009

Great to hear from you! My new address is: 295 W 1480 N, Tooele, Utah 84074; my phones are: 435-882-7144 or 435-841-7737 [cell]. Terry and I moved to Utah to be with all our grandchildren after we retired. Terry retired from the Post Office in 2000 and we thought he was done. Now he is the head tennis coach at the Tooele High School and is busier than ever and loving it.

I am living the good life of leisure after a lifetime of teaching. I earned a Masters' Degree in history and political science. I taught almost all grade levels, from junior high, high school and college. Now I spend many hours working on family history. Terry and I are LDS [Mormons] and finding our ancestors is a priority for us. I love research of any kind so I am enjoying it tremendously.

We planned to come to the reunion and even paid our dues for it but life got in the way -once again. I had a heart procedure done in April that didn't do the job so now I have to have another one during the 1st week in September. However, I am determined to attend the 50th!
