Carl Woolsey and Wally Chambers Jr on 2010 UW Field Trip

While visiting Ephrim Utah on the Utah Westerners 2010 field trip, we passed by a home which Brent Reber had owned and restored. Brent and his wife sold this home to Wally Chambers Jr.

For those that do not know, Wally Chambers Sr. was one of the Utah Westerners founding members. We saw Wally Jr. and stopped this massive 56 passenger bus in front of his home. I knocked on his door, introduced myself when he answered and informed him that this big Le Bus was the Utah Westerner 2010 Field Trip.

Wally Jr. was absolutely overcome and I invited him on board to say hello to Carl Woolsey and the rest of us miscreants.  He went to the back of the bus to say hi to Doc and let us know how much the UW had meant to his life and family. He was the veteran of many, many field trips with his dad.

It was a great moment on a trip filled with great moments.
