What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

I will never forget when Ronald Reagan came to Hooper in September 1982. My oldest brother and I stood in the rain for what felt like hours to be able to listen to the president speak.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

My very first working experience was as a summer volunteer in the Weber County Clerk's office where I helped with new computer technology. My first paid job was at Chick-Fil-A in the Ogden City Mall where I worked throughout high school and earned my first scholarship from the company.
