Decentralized?

Hello Dear Reader,
On January 1, 1979, Grandpa (Wesley Carol Carter) went to work in the church office building in Salt Lake City. On March 1st, he became area supervisor for Area No. 3. He commuted to Salt Lake from Provo every day except when he traveled to the chapels under construction in his area. He worked about one week in the office and, alternately, the next week on the road.

During the summer months that year he finished laying the block foundation on the cabin at Gooseberry Lake. He also became High Priest group leader of the Rivergrove 2nd Ward. It was nice to be back in Utah.

But, from the time he and Grandma (Mary Hall Carter) returned he knew there was a possibility that the areas of the Church Building Division could be decentralized. That meant that there was a possibility that they might have to heave their beloved home again.

Love,
Aunt Genni

Back to Utah Once More

Hello Dear Reader,

In November, Grandpa (Wesley C. Carter) received word from Henry Harraund that in December he and Grandma (Mary Hall Cater) would be going back to Utah.  Grandpa was to become supervisor for Area No. 3--California, Nevada, Arizona, part of New Mexico, and part of Colorado.

Ten days before they were to return home, Billy flew to California for a brief vacation and to help Grandpa and Grandma get ready for their return trip. They enjoyed the sites of California together then Bill helped pack up and drove with his mom and dad back to Provo. It was wonderful for them to be back in Utah once again.

Love,

Fremont, California - a place of beauty and harmony

Hello Dear Reader,

Grandpa (Wesley) Carter became disenchanted working for the Operations and Maintenance Department and asked Marvin Harding if he would give him a job. Brother Harding hired Grandpa in June 1978 and Grandpa found himself back working for the Church Building Department..

It wasn't long until Grandpa (Wes) and Grandma (Mary) loaded their belongings into their Jeep Wagoneer and headed for California. Grandpa had previously rented an apartment in a lovely area. Their new address was 405 Rancho Orrango Parkway, # 295, Fremont, California..

Love,

Hello Dear Reader,

Grandpa (Wes) and Grandma (Mary) Carter loved to take their grandchildren up Fairview Canyon. They enjoyed the company as they worked on their cabin. The children loved being with them. Grandpa put a Tarzan swing in a large tree and the grandchildren loved spent many hours swinging.. Meanwhile Grandpa made the excavation for the basement and poured the footings. Grandma worked alongside Grandpa until she was exhausted. But she always supported him.

That was the summer of 1976. At the time Grandpa (Wes) taught Gospel Doctrine in Sunday School--a position he held for two years. It wouldn't be long, though, until some changes were to take place.

Love,
Aunt Genni
