Father's Day

Bill is the Young Men's President in our ward.  He went to youth conference with Karl and Alecia this year.  They went to Snow College and had a great time, except for the bed bugs and breaking some ribs.  For Father's Day we replaced the things he threw away from the bed bug incident.  Not a very special gift-receiving experience--sorry.  Alecia and Alex made him a special Father's Day story.  It was a cute pop-up book.  On the back it gave the following credits:

Karl Graduates from High School!

Karl graduated from Davis High School in a class of 712 students.  He received a high honors cord, honors cord, school of business merit cord, and school of science, technology, and math merit cord.  Graduation was held at Weber State.  He did a fabulous job during his high school career.  He was involved in the marching band, film club, science olympiad, academic olympiad, tutoring, and 7 AP classes.  His ACT score the second time he took it was 35.  He wanted to go for a perfect 36, but I wouldn't let him.  He worked hard to get straight A's every quarter.  There were a few teachers who depended on him to teach other students who were not catching on.  Sometimes his tests were used as the key to grade the others.  We are so very proud of his accomplishments and all of the growth we have seen in him over the years.  He is such a wonderful young man who is respectful and kind and usually humble.  Congratulations, Karl!  Great job!
