Show the Flaming Gorge Reservoir—those accessible by motor vehicle and those only accessible by boat. After three years, Lorin moved back to the town of his birth and bought a little home in which to raise his family. "With five little ones, I wanted to have a place where we would be permanent and could enjoy a wholesome atmosphere." Lorin's children are Becky, Eric, Val, Adele, and Glade. Lorin works as a State Farm Insurance agent in Ogden and Morgan. His real joy is working in the soil, planting flowers and vegetables of every kind. His home has over forty fruit trees on it. "I love to try to grow everything that this Morgan Valley will produce." He has a few acres with some Herefords on it and about 200 colonies of bees. "It gives me much pleasure to be as self-sustaining as possible. If I could live my life out growing gardens and crops and sharing it all with family and friends, and then spend my winter evenings drawing with pen and ink, I'd be satisfied," says Lorin. Lorin looks forward to retirement when he can share the gospel with people who haven't had the chance to hear it. Both he and his wife look forward to that time. Lorin has held positions as genealogy teacher, Explorer Scout leader, and elder's quorum president. In February 1969, he was called as bishop ofthe Morgan Second Ward. When released as bishop, he was called as stake executive secretary under President Little. From this position he was called to be first counselor to President Jay Taggart in the Morgan Utah stake presidency. In March 1983, he was called to be president ofthe Morgan Utah Stake. His counselors were Lee Dickson and Larry Wilson. Brother Dickson moved away from Morgan and was replaced by Lyle Tucker. Says Lorin, "I love my work. I know the Gospel is true. My wife and family are the most important persons in my life." Source.- Written by Lillis Tonks, wife of Lorin. |
