Rick Turton's girlfriend, I should say his very beautiful blond girlfriend Janice pronounced 'Janeese' it seems to me, was at BYU in Provo, Utah. One Friday afternoon we were lolling on the grass outside the cafeteria at SFVSC and Turton thought it would be a good idea to go see her. So we gassed up my VW and hit the road, driving all night. Upon arriving at the school early Sat morning, Turton called her from a Denny's in Provo (no coffee or cokes there at that time, which amazed me..) and we were spirited in a back door of the girl's dorm and up to their room. This was truly something at a time when coed dorms were only a dream, and the girls' dorm at Brigham Young University was regarded as very secure. I recall discussing the 'honor' system! Janice, I don't think that is the correct spelling, had a roommate of course, with whom I had a most pleasant time! So did Rick and his lady. Early Sunday AM we left, naturally we had to be back for the fraternity meeting Sunday night! We loved the sign announcing the town of 'Beaver', Utah, and tried unsuccessfully to steal it. We stopped at Zion (being true geography majors) and ran around there exploring, getting our body clocks to work again for the very long, long drive home. Of course we blew into the house with barely enough time to put on a tie for the meeting, but we made it! Very few believed the story we told. Rick Grimes |
