| Biographical/Historical Note |
The following is a video clip from an oral history interview with Paula Smith. "Jim definitely had his opinions, but he had a big heart. He just loved being community involved and seeing things grow. He loved when my kids started rodeoing, he wanted to be involved. He got involved with the Utah High School Rodeo Association. He helped the president and he donated saddles one year. The kids, the bulldoggers, which that’s what my sons do is steer wrestle, and the year that my youngest son was in it they had a four way tie for first. Jim had provided the saddle and they were like, “Oh my gosh, what are we going to do?” Jim just said, “I’ll donate four saddles.” They all won, it’s a four way tie, and you can’t just drop one saddle, so Jim donated four saddles for all of the guys that won. I mean that was just him. He loved to do for the kids. He always said that if you can’t help the youth, who can you help?" |
