Earlier in the morning I agreed to have lunch with Arthur (Art) L. Douglas, president of the Farmers Union. Reaching for my phone did me no good; my battery had died so I went looking for Art. When I was almost ready to give looking, I turned around and there he was. He was talking to Suzanne R. Rees (R), County Commissioner for Box Elder County.
Talking with Suzanne was of great benefit. She has a good understanding of rural issues.

Let's not forget that our very own State Party Secretary Xavier Hermosillo also won by the largest margin ever recorded! He is cute, and a gentleman, and this old gal will vote for him again. It was nice to see the two of you in Washington County a few months back. Keep up the good work you two.
Candace should be a Democrat. I thank God Xavier already is.
Xavier and I will be visting Southern Utah again very soon.
Please say hello to my buddy Colt Smith.
