5 | Utah Valley University | Capitol Reef Oral History Collection | Capitol Reef Oral Histories | Interview with Keith and Kay Durfey | Keith Durfey lived most of his life in Notom, continuing the three-generation, Durfey ranching tradition. He married his wife, Kay, in 1964, and though she was from California, they raised their family in Notom. He graduated from BYU, earning a degree in Agronomy and Animal Science. Keith had a unique position because he worked as an expert resource for the national park, yet his life-long experience as a rancher allowed him to understand long-time residents’ concerns as well. His education, experience and friendly personality made him a popular and prominent member of the community. Keith was tragically killed in an automobile accident on Dec. 22, 2009 in Capitol Reef. | Durfey, Keith and Kay | 2009-10-31 | Yes | https://cdm17182.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p17182coll7/id/22/rec/1 | Capitol Reef National Park (Utah); Wayne County (Utah); Ranching; Livestock; Range management; Conservation of natural resources; |

In 1978, the Knees passed the ranch to the National Park Service, and the Wards moved elsewhere to pursue their professional lives and raise a family. Chip Ward served Utah’s rural libraries, including eleven years as a bookmobile librarian. Ward became the Deputy Director of the Salt Lake City Public Library System, and Linda taught Special Education. Chip Ward also authored the book, Canaries on the Rim, and they were both active in environmental preservation activities. When they retired in 2007, they moved back to Torrey, and love living there. In this interview they talk about the joys of living in that area, but also discuss the tensions that have arisen between long-time and recent residents, especially over land-use and conservation issues. | Ward, Chip and Linda | 2016-06-10 | Yes | https://cdm17182.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p17182coll7/id/11/rec/8 | Capitol Reef National Park (Utah); Wayne County (Utah); Ranching; Livestock; Range management; Conservation of natural resources; |

35 | Utah Valley University | Don Norton Collection of Veterans' Oral Histories | Don Norton Collection of Veterans' Oral Histories | Henri Earl Farnworth | Henri Earl Farnworth graduated from Lincoln High School in Orem in 1943, and he and his friends figured they would be getting drafted into WWII before too long. Several of them had been taking a machinist course at the trade tech--the Central Utah Vocational School--and they went to work for the Union Pacific Railroad in Pocatello, Idaho. They didn't like it, and quit, and so five of them from the same high school class joined the United States Merchant Marine. He describes what that was like, serving in the Pacific. He describes how the United States Merchant Marine provided the greatest sea lift in history between the production army at home and the fighting forces scattered around the world. They carried over eighty percent of the materiel around the world to the fighting forces and the people who were needing it. It required between seven and fifteen tons supplying American troops, but also many of the supplies for all the allied troops. | Farnworth, Henri Earl | 2001-10 | Yes | https://uvu.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p17182coll20/id/21/rec/20 | Veterans; World War II; Korean War; Vietnam War; Veterans' spouses; Army; Air Force; Navy; Marines |

He calls a flight engineer a "glorified mechanic," who flies in the airplane, makes sure the landing gear was as it should be, and was in charge of keeping the hydraulic pressure at the right levels. After some delays, he went by ship to Europe with 9300 infantrymen, ending up in Bavaria, Germany, at a replacement depot, where all the air force personnel of the occupation forces in the European Theater and the Mediterranean Theaters of Operations had to come through his base. He talks a little about how it was in that area of Germany after the destruction of the war, which was pretty much over in Europe, and how many Germans were quite good to them. He was discharged in October, 1945. He also talks a bit about what wartime had been like for his family and others back home in Utah. | Fullmer, Allan Lee | 1999-09-29 | Yes | https://uvu.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p17182coll20/id/14/rec/21 | Veterans; World War II; Korean War; Vietnam War; Veterans' spouses; Army; Air Force; Navy; Marines |

Many young men from the area were casualities of the aar. When a parachute pplant came to Manti, every women she knew wanted to work at it, both for patriotic reasons, but also to make some money. Her mother also worked at the parachute factory. She describes what it was like to work there, and that it was a good place to work and was good for the community, even though it was largely kept a secret outside of the area because the government didn't want everyone to know where it was. LuRae Greenwood married Rex Boyd Greenwood just before he went overseas in the US Army Air Corps.

38 | Utah Valley University | Don Norton Collection of Veterans' Oral Histories | Don Norton Collection of Veterans' Oral Histories | Oral History Memoir American Airpower Heritage Group of the Confederate Air Force Heritage Museum | Rex Boyd Greenwood met his future wife, Margaret LuRae Munk, when they were both attending Snow College in Ephraim, Utah in 1941. He talks about how he heard about Pearl Harbor, and how he and his friends knew that they'd be getting drafted soon. He got into the army air corps and was trained in what was called 'controlled networks,' to help fighter plane pilots find their way back after a mission, since they didn't carry homing devices. So he describes what it was like to guide allied fighter planes back to their airbase, starting out at a temporary airbase at Bottisham, England, and then to a permanent airbase in Saffron Walden, a better homing station. He witnessed much of the destruction in England during the German blitz, and was servicing the fighter planes that flew in the D-Day invasion of France when they'd fly back to England for refueling. Then he was taken by troop ship to Le Havre, France, about a month and a half after D-Day, and saw how pulverized the area was by the fighting. They marched all the way into Belgium, where, although he didn't see combat personally, they were near the Battle of the Bulge. He then spent two months near Munich, and visited one of the concentration camps near there--probably Dachau. Finally he was sent home, where he attended BYU and then went to Northwestern University Dental School, graduating in 1949. HE also talks about the difficult transition from being in the military to being back home, and several of the life-long friends he made while in the military. | Greenwood, Rex Boyd | 1994-03-31 | Yes | https://uvu.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p17182coll20/id/5/rec/23 | Veterans; World War II; Korean War; Vietnam War; Veterans' spouses; Army; Air Force; Navy; Marines |
39 | Utah Valley University | Don Norton Collection of Veterans' Oral Histories | Don Norton Collection of Veterans' Oral Histories | Lawrence L. Henry | Lawrence L. Henry talks about how he left school after the eighth grade, in 1938, and then spent two years in the area Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camps, traveling around and building drift fences and reservoirs. After Pearl Harbor, he had registered for the draft and went into the service in late 1942 or early 1943. He describes basic training in Texas and Louisiana, and how, although it seemed like they were being trained for fighting in the Pacific Islands, he actually got sent to Naples, Italy. He was supposed to go over as a cook, but ended up in a machine gun squad as a gunner. The heaviest of the fighting in that area was already over, so he served in a kind of occupation force. He describes how terribly cold it was in the Apennine Mountains, living among the Italian Partisans and then the Fascists, and then traveling around Italy and Yugoslavia a little bit before getting sent home after the war ended, | Henry, Lawrence L. | 2004-02-12 | Yes | https://uvu.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p17182coll20/id/28/rec/24 | Veterans; World War II; Korean War; Vietnam War; Veterans' spouses; Army; Air Force; Navy; Marines |
40 | Utah Valley University | Don Norton Collection of Veterans' Oral Histories | Don Norton Collection of Veterans' Oral Histories | World War II Military Service | Mark Wilson Hirst talks about how he had wanted to be a pilot in the military, but because he didn't have two years of college, he wouldn't be accepted, so he joined the U.S. Army Air Corps and wanted to be a machine gunner. Instead, he was routed to be trained in Operations, where all flights and combat are actually controlled. So when the pilots and others came in, he would tell them what their assignment was, and they'd go off on their flights. He gives vivid descriptions of the many training airplane accidents and deaths he saw while in training at Gowan Air Field, Idaho, in Orlando, in Wendover, and at March Field, California. He was promoted from staff sergeant to tech sergeant, and eventually went to Vancouver Barracks, near Portland, and then to Hickham Field in Hawaii for a while, when the atomic bombs were dropped on Japan. Then he was sent to Guam, then to Tinian Island, and describes what life was like in all of these different places, and how there were still Japanese soldiers hiding out in caves on Saipan who would sometimes sneak down and attack the Americans. Eventually he was sent home and went to work at Geneva Steel, and met his wife Frieda, who was working at ZCMI in Salt Lake City, and they'd been married for fifty-nine years at the time of the interview. | Hirst, Mark Wilson | 2005-10-10 | Yes | https://uvu.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p17182coll20/id/27/rec/25 | Veterans; World War II; Korean War; Vietnam War; Veterans' spouses; Army; Air Force; Navy; Marines |

To keep from being drafted, he and some friends joined the Marin Corps--he was eighteen years old. He describes boot camp at Camp Pendleton, and then was sent to Guadalcanal, where they did a lot of jungle training before being sent to the Marshall Islands and back and forth between Guam and Saipan for about two weeks. When they finally landed on Guam, he was a gunman, in the first invasion of Guam with a rifle and working on 60 mm mortars.

43 | Utah Valley University | Don Norton Collection of Veterans' Oral Histories | Don Norton Collection of Veterans' Oral Histories | Oral History Memoir American Airpower Heritage Group of the Confederate Air Force Heritage Museum | Alfred Lorenzo Huish, Jr. had been a prisoner of war in several German POW camps. He tells about how he joined the National Guard in 1936 when he was sixteen, and also had to work, so he didn't finish high school. He was on an LDS mission when Pearl Harbor was bombed. After his LDS mission ended, he and some friends decided to take the Civilian Pilot Training, but he found out that he had some depth perception problems, and was washed out of pilot training, which was very disappointing. He packed parachutes for a while, and then trained overseas in Italy to be an aerial photographer in the bombing planes. He describes the bombing missions he went on and photographed, and the many dangers he witnessed. A plane he was in was shot down and exploded, and several in the crew had to parachute out, and several of them were killed. He and the pilot stayed in the plane, where they landed in a cornfield at the edge of a village outside Budapest. Those that had parachuted out were picked up by German soldiers, and so was he and the pilot. They were taken prisoner in the village, and interrogated, and eventually sent to Stalag Luft III prisoner of war camp in Poland, then by train to Stalag Luft IV, then when the Russians came through Poland, they were evacuated to Stalag 11 B. He describes how freezing cold it was, being out in the open or in barns. Many of them got frozen feel, ears, and hands, and suffered permanent damage. He describes in detail life in the POW camps, and how they were liberated finally by the British but then had to make a dangerous march on foot to Brussels, and from Belgium they were taken to Le Havre, France in trains, then by boat to England, and then back to the United States. | Huish, Alfred Lorenzo, Jr. | 1996-05-07 | Yes | https://uvu.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p17182coll20/id/25/rec/28 | Veterans; World War II; Korean War; Vietnam War; Veterans' spouses; Army; Air Force; Navy; Marines |
44 | Utah Valley University | Don Norton Collection of Veterans' Oral Histories | Don Norton Collection of Veterans' Oral Histories | Prisoner of War | This account appears to be based on a talk in an LDS church service given by Mr. Hunsaker. He had been trained as a paratrooper to be dropped behind enemy lines, and was stationed in England when the Battle of the Bulge happened in December, 1944. So they were flown to France and proceeded in army trucks toward the Belgian front, where he could see evidence of fierce fighting and dead soldiers. They were acting as infantry now, with only practice warfare experience. They could hear German shelling and gunfire, and were pinned by the Germans, and soon were taken prisoner by them. He focuses on being held prisoner in Stalag IV B, in Mühlberg, Germany, and what life was like for them, and then they were transferred to Leipzig to work in a labor camp. But they could tell that things had changed, and that finally, when they could tell American troops were getting nearer, that the Germans were getting ready to surrender, and that he and the other American prisoners would soon be freed. | Hunsaker, Max A. | 1995; 1996; 1997; 1998; 1999; 2000; 2001; 2002; 2003; 2004; 2005; 2006; 2007; 2008; 2009; 2010 | Yes | https://uvu.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p17182coll20/id/26/rec/29 | Veterans; World War II; Korean War; Vietnam War; Veterans' spouses; Army; Air Force; Navy; Marines |

This program sent him to Colorado Springs, then Stockton, California, being trained to become Navy officers: seamanship, signaling, vessel identification, and that type of thing. Most of his college work was basic college work toward an engineering degree. He was then sent to Berkeley,and the war ended while he was there. He decided he wanted to leave the V-12 program and join active duty, so he was transferred to the regular navy in January 1946, and was on temporary duty for two months, what was called “ship’s company.” Finally he got my orders, and was sent back to Great Lakes Naval Training Station to begin boot camp. He earned enough points to be discharged from the Navy, and then went on an LDS mission.

He learned after the war that the papers and information that they often captured were codes for the German submarines, or contained plans to set up another station. There were five or six different kinds of information about German operations. Their work was a great aid and assistance for the U.S. to know what the Germans lost by not having two-day weather forecasts. For example, in the Battle of the Bulge, the Germans knew how long the storm and fog would last, and so what they could do. So the ships who patrolled the Greenland coast destroyed that type of information, so the Germans didn't have it. | Wood, Wayne Eugene | 1995; 1996; 1997; 1998; 1999; 2000; 2001; 2002; 2003; 2004; 2005 | Yes | https://uvu.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p17182coll20/id/58/rec/64 | Veterans; World War II; Korean War; Vietnam War; Veterans' spouses; Army; Air Force; Navy; Marines |

261 | Utah Valley University | Utah Women's Walk; Honoring the Women of Utah | Utah Women's Walk; Honoring the Women of Utah | -- | The Utah Women's Walk: Honoring the Women of Utah is a history project on a grand scale, the brainchild of UVU American Studies instructor Michele Welch. Mrs. Welch and many of her students researched prominent women in Utah--both from history and those currently living--and have created biographies of them and conducted oral history interviews with those still living. The Utah Women's Walk is meant to encourage appreciation for the variety of work in which Utah women are engaged, and to demonstrate the cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity in the state. This project has also lead to the development of the beautiful Utah Women’s Walk Garden Walk, which opened on September 16, 2017 in the Ashton Gardens at Thanksgiving Point, Lehi Utah. Central to the exhibit is the commissioned sculpture Connexion, by local artist Ben Hammond. The Garden Walk includes paths to the sculpture and benches for reflection, and short biographies and interviews of over 100 Utah women. This oral history project was funded by a joint grant between the Utah Historical Society and the Utah Humanities. | 101 | 2005-2018 | Yes | https://uvu.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/womenswalk/search | Utah Women; Women in education; Women in business; Philanthropists; Women in arts; Women politicians; |
