I noticed as a BYU student that everybody I ran into has some sort of connection with Page. They'd know somebody from Page, or their car had broken down in Page, or they'd eaten at the McDonald's in Page.
The trend continues.
I'm going to be moving into new office space in a couple of weeks (along with the rest of my department) and I've been eagerly checking up on the progress of the remodeling over the past month. I went down into the room that will be my office and I heard someone assembling the desk. I called ahead into the room, so as not to startle the worker, and then poked my head around the door. Imagine my surprise when Brother Thatcher looked back at me!
His son Ryan's company is a contractor for BYU to put together the furniture. It was fun to chat with him for a few minutes. He is serving as a bishop in a married student ward right now and loving it. He'll spend another two weeks or so toiling away on our furniture and then I'll get to enjoy the fruits of his labor!
