One time Dad asked Sara to drive a tractor back to the house form a field. At that time this was beyond her capabilities. She tipped the tractor over with her on it. She was lucky not to have received more serious injuries but scraped herself pretty good.

Sara would have attended South Cache Jr. High School and Sky View High School when this school was fairly new. After her sophomore year we moved to Illinois and she graduated from high school there.

When Dianna was born we were all down at the City Square for the Easter celebration and egg hunt. This was always Easter Saturday. It was Sara who had the job of finding us at the square and informing us that our Baby sister Dianna had been born. She was driving by this time.

This is an Illinois era trip. We all made a trip to Utah and Idaho just before we moved back to Hyrum. |
After my father graduated with his masters in library science we moved to Illinois for two years. We then returned to Hyrum and Dad worked at the USU library. While in Illinois Sara met Clyde Buff, a veteran from the Air Force and a return missionary. He and Sara were engaged before we left Carbondale, Illinois. Sara started High School at Sky View, but she graduated from University High School in Carbondale, Illinois. Attending this school she was able to graduate a year early as they accepted her seminary credits as history credits.

After their marriage, Clyde and Sara lived for a time in Provo as Clyde attended BYU. However he soon transferred to USU and the moved into the duplexes behind our house.
When Clyde Eugene Buff Jr. was born he was the first grandson of my mother and father. His birth also made as siblings all aunts and uncles. In fact, Sara would have four children before any of the rest of us would have our first. Sara was a good mother, loving her children unconditionally. She has six children, four girls and two boys. Her oldest Clyde Jr. preceded her in death almost two years ago. The family lived in Hyrum, then Tremonton, then Bothwell and they finally relocated to Boise.
