I was home about two weeks before it was enrolment time at Utah State. With all my meager belongings packed in a suitcase and a handbag, I traveled to Logan, Utah to live with my Cousin Lonnie’s family on the Island. For clothing, I remember having one pair of shoes; one pair of slacks; three shirts; four pair of socks; one leather coat jacket and a suit of clothes. Lonnie’s wife Alice shared their bedroom closet for my clothes. The lived in a four room house; parents and four children. The children ranged from four years of age to 12 years. My bedroom was the living room where, I at night, folded down the studio couch making it a bed. We all shard the same bathroom. Lonnie and Alice used one bedroom; the four kids the other bedroom; I slept in the living room. Alice cooked and fed us all in the kitchen. It was close but I do believe we all enjoyed it. Alice was a good cook. Her food was always delicious. She baked and we ate a pan cake for every evening meal. There were few days that did not end pleasantly. We all in the home duties and work as fit our age. Lonnie, in addition to his employment; kept some chickens and rabbits. He also made of number of boys in the LDS 7th ward happy being the scout master. Almost all my working time was spent away from the Lonnie Paul home. Five days per week I had an 8 AM class. I walked from the Paul home to the university campus; a distance uphill of about two miles. The classes I registered for were all morning, one hour classes. They were all major business oriented classes. One class, instructed by Dr. Wanlass, continued for both winter and spring quarters. That class was a study of business problems and solutions. From Dr. Wanlass I obtained the knowledge of how to analyze a problem and then how to solve it. This included finance, production, labor, sales, accounting and personal. He and Dr. Hurst of Weber College implanted in my mind the necessary knowledge of a business operation; its problems and solutions. Over the years I have forgotten the other classes and whatever they were about. I have never forgotten Dr. Hurst or Dr. Wanlass.
To continue my daily activity schedule, I normally took a sandwich to school for lunch. After lunch I would stay in the library and study until near 5 PM. I would then return to the Paul home for that well cooked dinner complete with a piece of pancake covered with a delicious topping.
Within a few weeks I had made evening schedules. Immediately upon setting up residence in the Paul home I found myself going with my cousin Lonnie to the LDS church mutual activity on Tuesday evening. That led my being invited to play MMen basketball.
