Orson Clark-12/14/81 - Pg 17

too. I remember one morning, it was a winter morning. It had snowed heavy all night. You couldn't see the posts along out here. We took out and started to crawl along the freeway and here came a pick-up truck. He went ahead of us so I decided I was going to follow him. So I followed him and by golly, as luck would have it, he took us right into North Temple. We hadn't got in there before we could see the lights well enough, this was five o' clock in the morning. I'll tell you, that was one time that we never knew what was coming next. Some of the fellows got on the wrong road and got clear down to the airport before they knew where they were at.

Ruth Knowlton: It's so easy to make that exit there.

Orson Clark: I was just lucky enough that this fellow in that pick-up went where I wanted to go.

Interviewer: That's a blessing.

Orson Clark: But it was an experience I'm not craxy about having more of.

Ruth Knowlton: Now you're glad you don't have to get out in that, aren't you?

Orson Clark: I am. I am.

Ruth Knowlton: You can say, "I don't have to go anywhere today."

Orson Clark: This is the first time in our lives that when we have gone to bed we haven't had the time set to get up. And we just don't get up. At least I don't, the wife usually gets up. But I just lay until I wake up and feel like getting up and then I get out and get up. It's late sometimes. Like I say, it's the first time in our lives. When I was a young man, it was always on the farm up and going.

Interviewer: Five o'clock.

Orson Clark: Oh yes, at least five.

Interviewer: What have you been doing in the church since you were released from the Temple?

Orson Clark: Home teaching. We have three families. Halverson was the President of the Temple there, he and I are partners. We have three families, one of them is a widow and the other two are families. They are all lovely and active people. We enjoy them.

Interviewer: I imagine they enjoy you, too.

Ruth Knowlton: I'll bet they enjoy having you come.
