I'm proud to be a Utahan for many reasons. I'll name two.

(1) Utah is the only place in the nation where Clinton came in third in 1992 -- Bush I carried the state by a landslide, and Perot came in second.

(2) My husband and I have several ancestors who were Utah pioneers. They gave up everything they had, and left green and pleasant places like England, Wales, and South Africa, to come here to the edge of the desert where they could live their religion unmolested. Their memory is a constant reminder of what really matters.

An excellent reason to be proud! That tells me a great deal about the people of Utah.

My husband and I have several ancestors who were Utah pioneers. They gave up everything they had, and left green and pleasant places like England, Wales, and South Africa, to come here to the edge of the desert where they could live their religion unmolested.

They were certainly brave and determined people. I greatly admire the pioneer spirit that built the west.

Thanks for coming by and helping us to celebrate your state and the Utah pioneers.

Well put, counselor.
