First-Ever Joint Reunion Focuses on Clark-Porter Friendship (2017)

Breakout, kids' activities, new book launch and Kindex scanning keeps attendees very busy

This should be a 200-word general recap of the reunion.  Things here should be the number of attendees, the program, attached at right.  Location weather, etc.  It can also cover things unusual to the standard program such as the fact that we had a kids' track and multiple breakout sessions. etc. It also marked the release of A Charles's Timothy Baldwin Clark biography and the fact that it was our first ever joint reunion with another family, the Porters. Point out that anyone who would like to watch the presentations or read a transcript may do so by selecting any of the links below. Each contains the video and script of the presentation as well as a PDF of the presentations themselves.

Farmington Museum was open for attendees to visit after the picnic. Volunteers from the Daughters of Utah Pioneers graciously gave two presentations to the children in the Charles Penrose Cabin directly east of the Rock Church and in the Primary Memorial Chapel about the role of the Clarks may have played in The First Primary depicted on the large mural at the front of the original chapel.

By
Lyman B. Clark
Lyman was born in Clearfield, Utah on December 24, 1925 to Horace Wells Clark and Janette Benzon Clark, spending childhood years in Ogden, Utah and teenage years in Layton, Utah, graduating there from Davis High School. A natural athlete, Lyman played several sports in high school, favorites being football and basketball. He was named outstanding prep performer in Utah in 1942 and captain of the Salt Lake Tribune’s all-state football team in 1944. He played quarterback for the University of Utah’s football team for a year before entering military service as an air force cadet for almost two years. After returning to the university, he was a key member of the celebrated 1947 basketball team that won the National Invitational Tournament championship. Lyman married Josephine Larsen in 1949; they’ve enjoyed almost 73 years of marriage, raising a family of five children, twelve grandchildren and eighteen great grandchildren. His professional career included several management positions with Montgomery Ward for 32 years. He was the company’s regional merchandise manager of the southeastern states in Orlando, Florida before being assigned district manager in San Diego, where he took early retirement in 1982 and opened his own business for 19 years, Clark’s Stationers, in Rancho Bernardo. He and Jo lived in and loved the community of Poway, enjoying lasting business and personal friendships. He was a member of Rotary, the local Chamber of Commerce and director of the North County United Way board for several years. Lyman and Jo especially enjoyed traveling together to places near and far and he was devoted to his family, whom he considered his greatest “forever” blessing and greatest achievement. Golfing was his favorite activity and he was an enthusiastic spectator of any sport. An active member of the Church of Jesus Christ, he was a “people person”, so especially enjoyed his time as Bishop of his ward, as well as his other stake and ward callings.
