Welch inducted to hall of fame
DRUE TEBBS-MEEK
548-6901
George Welch received a phone
call on Feb. 23 from the National Fed-
eration of High School Activities As-
sociation in Indianapolis, and was in-
formed that he is being inducted into
their hall of fame in July.
He has received many awards in
Utah for music, has served on many
boards and committees, and has been
a member of the National Federation
of High Schools as Music Chairman.
He has functioned as a critic for arti-
cles submitted for their organization,
and has taught music and been not
only an example as a teacher to many
students throughout his career, but
an example of humor, moral charac-
e.randeoe,t;lok up to and try
'lafe th.M his personal,
ife and his career: This induction
into the hall of fame is the ultimate
award and reward for his years of
service.
In an e-mail to family and friends,
George's wife, Bonnie, said he knew
he had been nominated for this award,
but never in a million years thought
he would actually receive it. The local
association submitted his name and it
was sent to a "blind" panel that looked
at the qualifications of all the nomi-
nees without knowing who they were
evaluating.
Three were chosen from the nomi-
nations submitted by each state in the
country and sent to the "main com-
mittee," where George Welch was se-
lected.
Bonnie said he is absolutely blown
away that he would be picked from all
the many people in the country who
have done so much for children, but
she was not surprised because when it
comes to kids, he has been completely
unselfish in working for their welfare.
Bonnie said that they would fly to San
Diego on July 8, and the award would
be presented to him at a banquet on
July 11.
Some others who have been in-
ducted into this hall of fame are Chris
Evert, Danny Ainge, Herschel Walk-
er, Merlin OIsen, Ty Detmer, Jesse
Owens and more. Often the ones se-
lected are athletes, so it is unusual for
a music person to receive this award.
In George's brother's e-mail,
Nick wrote, "This is fantasic. What a
great honor for George. It comes well-
earned, for a man who is very hum-
ble and would give you the shirt off
his back, especially if you are between
the ages of 3 and 33. He has given his
entire life for the good of the children,
youth and students from elementary
to college and those working on their
higher education. This definitely is a
feather in his cap."
George was born and raised in
Cowley, graduating from Cowley High
School. He attended Utah State Uni-
versity in Logan, Utah. He returned
to Cowley and taught music for a year
or so before he went to Utah to begin
his career there. His parents are the
late Art and Mary Whitney Welch.

Cline auction raises $14,000
GARY GRUELL

The Benefit Dinner and Auction for
Mark Cline was a great success with 240
people attending for dinner. The din-
ner and auction proceeds were about
$14,000, according Tami Hubbell.
I did get the opportunity to meet
Mark Cline and his wife, Patty,
pose near their horse corral at
their home near Frannie.
Mark and his family. The good remarks
about Mark that I had heard from many
others were correct. He and his family
seem to be very nice.
The auction saw three horses up for
bid, along with a baby goat and a puppy.
Many horse related items, jewelry and
artwork were also donated.
The generous donations from local
merchants and private individuals con-
tributed to the huge success of the ben-
efit with all the proceeds going directly
to the appreciative and humbled Cline
family. Organizers would like to thank
everyone who helped make the event a
success.

able handset type, works.
He has volunteered as an

Senior center chatter
Kane history program
Tuesday at Center
When the Newcomers
Club met for cards at the
Senior Center last Thurs-
day, Feb. 25, there was a
bit different atmosphere.
Things seemed more sub-
dued because so many
members were absent due
to either health issues, go-
ing to regionals in River-
ton or to state wrestling in
Casper. Both sides had only
two tables of players each.
Members still enjoyed
themselves, but not quite
as boisterously as usual. On
the pinochle side, member
Garnet Sorenson earned
the highest score of the af-
ternoon and also provided
homemade caramels for ev-
eryone to enjoy. In bridge,
none other than Arlene
Ross ended up on top again.
Imagine that!
All participating mem-
bers enjoyed the delicious
cake that was provided for
them by enterprising staff
member, Marlene Gould.
Don't forget that Art
Art Schatz shared his
memories of Kane
Thursday at the BHC
NRA Visitor's Center.
Schatz will be making a
presentation on the histo-
ry of Kane next Tuesday,
March 9. Come join us for
lunch and learn something
new !

at the center.
She said she has en-
joyed the monthly nutrition
meetings and the social as-
pect that goes along with
being a part of the group.
She also delivered meals on
wheels with her husband,
Chuck, for several years.
Fellow council mem-
bers Karen Spragg and
Ruth Hecker agreed that
"She really sets the bar
high for the rest of us," said
senior center director De-
nise Andersen. "The hun-
dreds of cakes and pies she
has baked speak for them-
selves."
Haskins and her hus-
band lived in a house out-
side of Lovell for years and
moved to a home in Cowley
in the past six years or so.
