Weekend Update
Dear Family,
Missed getting this out Sunday but gathered some news none-the-less! My weekend started with laying on my back underneath the airplane. It's down for maintenance and our stickler mechanic insisted that we needed to degrease the entire under belly of the plane and clean out the wheel wells. I thought it would be an hour job but four hours later, I had to leave it unfinished. Years of oil and dirt accumulated in the wells of the retractable wheels and it needed to be scraped out! It was a gorgeous day though and I enjoyed getting dirty. I later talked to a potential builder for the cottage and he noticed the oil all over my elbows that I didn't get cleaned off!
Sunday was a very nice day! I visited the Fruit Heights ward where I got to sit with the little Clegg boys and girls. Jill gave a talk in Sacrament Meeting with an update on Hailey. She did a wonderful job and told of how a young woman in Scotland had watched the District online and then chatted online with missionaries who told her to go to the church. She did and Hailey was there with her companion to teach her to baptism. After church, we went to Dan & Jill's house for dinner and the young woman (Jade) came to dinner as she is here in America visiting with a family from Bountiful that was living in Scotland. Nice to meet her and her how Hailey is doing.
I also stopped by Frank & Melissa's and toured the new house addition. They just finished their basement with new insulation, electrical, walls, trim and carpet. It's beautiful!!! New furniture for Gavin and Sophia and their own rooms. With the new multi-zone furnace, it's very comfortable and should provide years of shelter for indoor activities.
Then I stopped over to Steve & Shannon's and talked with them. Jamie and Alex came, Spencer was there and Allyse and even got to see Brandon, Ashley and the kids for a few minutes. They are off on an extended adventure to Australia for the next 12-18 months! He will be working on oil and gas projects for Bain.
This week, I've been in Philadelphia for work. Meeting with one of our partners and working out a possible new integration. Two full days of meetings in a tiny conference room but I think we made some progress. We had to drop off a colleague a the train station downtown and got this shot as the sun was setting in the west.
Congratulations to Grandpa and Grandma as they celebrated (sort of) their 59th wedding anniversary this last Tuesday. I understand that they took phone calls and Paula came to visit for the day. Everyone get ready….60th is going to be a big celebration!

Update
Yesterday morning, I was lying in bed when the text alert on my phone went off. "Brian canceled his planned flight this morning so the plane is free if you want it," from Bob, one of the partners.
For months (even years), I've been hoping to take Dad on a nice plane ride. He went up with me once but it was when the variable prop control quit working so the ride was short--and a little stressed. For much of this summer, the plane has been down or I was too busy or the weather wasn't good and I was afraid it wasn't going to come together.
There has been a high pressure system over the area for the last few days and Saturday the weather was perfect! So I scrambled to get ready and headed south to the Spanish Fork airport where we keep the plane now. When I pushed the button to raise the large, bi-fold door, the morning sun filled the hangar sweeping a line of light across the Mooney.
A quick pre-flight and taxi over to the self-serve pump to fill it with fuel. Planes had been taking off every couple of minutes with the Diamond Flight School in full force but as I taxied to the end of the runway, there was no one ahead of me. I called Mom, sticking my iPhone under one of my headphones, and told her I was heading north and hoped Dad would be up for a ride.
As I've talked to him about it recently, he told me that his flying days were over. He didn't really feel like he had the stamina or endurance and wouldn't enjoy it. Still, I felt like it was something that I wanted to do--if not for him, then for me to fulfill something I had thought about a lot--and maybe he would enjoy it.
The day was perfect for flying. Air was cool and still. I was at 9500 feet by the time I reached Provo Canyon and by Park City was at 11000 with a straight course for Soda Springs. On that route, I'm over mountains most of the way. Eleven thousand is an altitude that I could hopefully find a flat place to land in either Morgan, Logan or Bear Lake on the other side if anything were to go wrong.
Just west of Franklin, I make out the base of Soda Peak and adjust the trim to a long gentle descent. The airspeed picks up from 155 mph to 185 and the end of the powered glide puts me at just a few hundred feet off the deck as I fly over the ranch. I see Mom hurriedly walking up through the yard to (as I later find) get Dad out of the coop where he's feeding chickens.
I fly out over the brown earth of potato and grain fields that have been made ready for winter after harvest and climb to a thousand feet over Grace and on around Alexander and over the reservoir to Soda Springs. That runway always looks so small from the air--at least compared to Provo and Springville--but I land safely and taxi to the tie downs.
Within minutes, the Cadillac comes out of town past the end of the runway and turns in to the airport. Mom had texted me that they would just come pick me up but I hadn't tied down the plane just in case. She rolled down the window and I asked Dad, "Are you ready to go?"
"Can Mother go with us?" he asked. "YES!!!" I said to myself. With in a matter of minutes, Mom was in the back seat and Dad was next to me and we were tightening seat belts and I was going through the checklist.
We took off to the south, banked left and then again to the north. Dad suggested we fly out towards Caribou Mountain and Grays Lake. We climbed out over Agrium with and expansive view of the top of Woodall Mountain where Dad had spent so many years working for Simplot. It's top is carved away and the swaths of mining pits are still open with a ribbon of haul road from the bottom to the top.
With the cruising speed of the Mooney, we were soon coming in on Grays Lake and Caribou Mountain. We could see Bear Island clearly and pointed out the Lindstrom place that Kent leases and my place with the two exposed trailers and three shops.
Circling around Caribou Mountain was a treat as I had never seen it from the north and east sides. Huge stands of pines and massive rock slides with snow. The air above the valleys was severe clear and we could see the Tetons to the north and the Wind Rivers to the east. We flew over Palisades which looked to be nearly empty of water and then turned south over Star Valley Ranch and on to Afton, Wyoming.
We flew south and at Montpeiler angled west with a view of Bear Lake and the Bear River running north. It was mid day by now and a few thermals were developing over the mountains so we hit a few bumps. I was worried about Mom but she just closed her eyes, leaned back, did a little pressure breathing and was fine.
We came out over Ant Canyon and then banked north in a descending turn that brought us right down over the house again. Back out across the farms, over Grace, Alexander to Soda.
This time, we landed from the north flying right over Monsanto as one of the pot trucks was dumping its molten orange load down the side of the slag mountain. Landing was good and we back-taxied back to the car. All had gone well and it had been a beautiful flight. I was glad that Dad had enjoyed it, looking at the scenery moving underneath us. Every time I asked him if he wanted to head back he said, "Not really." Here's a short video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOxB-JQoBKw&feature=youtu.be
No sooner had we landed than Don rides in on his motorcycle. "I saw you fly over! That plane has a distinctive sound." In a few minutes, he was back with Grant and Abbey as they had never been up in a small plane. We took off to the south, flying directly up Eight Mile between Sherman and Soda Peaks and then down over Ant Canyon, over the farm again and back to Soda.
Dan had seen us fly over and was on his way to Soda for parts with Flint so they were waiting when we landed. Flint had never been in a small plane and we were soon flying past Woodall and then over China Hat and Dike Lake with Flint at the controls.
I had to teach Sunday so headed back south after dropping them off. A quick fuel stop in Logan. Where I debated calling Ben but I didn't want to push my luck with so many rides in one day so I just texted him to look up as I flew over his house! I left Springville at about 9:45 am and was back on the ground with the plane in the hangar a little after 4 pm. It was an awesome day!!!
In other pictures on my phone this week, Brian Voigt was here for a couple of days and stayed with me. We had a delightful time as we dropped in on Lisa Leavitt, a friend of ours from college who many of you know. Brian's daughter Gillian had Lisa as a professor at BYU which was news as the last we had heard of her, she was working as a morticians assistant in Calgary, Canada and doing hair for the deceased! Well, she is now a full fledged psychologist and working at the counseling center at BYU as well as with her own clients with a speciality in pediatric trauma. She has 38 nieces and nephews (from family of 9) helps her family who many live in the area (parents are still in London) and has been the relief society president in the same ward the Richard McClendon lived in after he got married. Very fun to catch up although I should have gotten a picture of the three of us. She said that she had been called to help a suicidal student at 3 a.m. in the morning once and it turned out to be in Brian and I's old apartment! She said it still had the same carpet--and mold--and that could have been the cause of the poor person's despair!

OK...so I totally ripped these off Melissa L's FB page but hey, FB is public domain! (especially after their new privacy policy changes!)
Fwd: Openhouse for Jamie and Allyse's "farewell" talk
From Shannon:
Jamie gets married on Tuesday, November 26th and all Aunts and Uncles will be invited to attend a wedding breakfast/brunch that will be held that morning at Market Street Grill. The ceremony is at the Draper Temple and, if attending, you need to be in the marriage waiting room by 1:30 p.m. There will be no formal reception. However, on Saturday, December 7th, we will have a "Clegg Style" potluck casual openhouse at our home. Cousins and all are invited.
Allyse will speak in church in preparation for her mission to the Tacloban, Philippines Mission on Sunday, December 15th at 9 a.m.. We will have a lunch at our home following the full three hour block of meetings. THEN, on New Year's Eve, we will be hosting a big party at our home to say goodbye to Allyse and to welcome in the new year.
No pressure to attend anything but since it is the holiday season, I thought I'd get the word out in advance.

Make it a great day!

Happy Birthday Pumpkin Paula Frank Forty Party!!!!
What a wonderful day! Don't mean to make those of you who couldn't make it feel bad but yesterday was really a picture perfect pumpkin celebration!
Friday night I went to a wedding reception and it was really a treat to see all the friends from my old ward and to drive through Orem. By the time I got to Grace, it was 12:30 am and I had a great sleep on the sinking bed! When I went up to Grandma and Grandpa's next morning, Grandpa was dressed and waiting ready to go! Days have been up and down so we were really glad that he felt up to attending.
The day was just beautiful with clear fall skies, hints of harvest yellow and autumn orange still scattered through the valleys and mountains. As we pulled up the lane to the Webb house on the hill, Boston met us with a, "Welcome to the annual Pumpkin Party!" as he placed a yellow pansy in Grandma's hair. Kids were riding bikes, playing basket ball, throwing footballs with fun anticipation of good food. Several vehicles headed to the river with miles of beach and low water line.
Early arrivers had biscuits and gravy, Lunch was pastas, salads, breads topped off with birthday cake and a five gallon bucket of BYU Creamery ice cream!
The big event (in addition to Paula's birthday) was Frankie's Fortieth! I had put together a video of pictures since he was a baby and the link is here:
PASSWORD is: birthday.
I wish in a way that each of you could have the experience of soaking in all of ones life pictures, to see them go from a tiny bundle of joy to being a father of joy. We all love Frank so much and words are not found to express how much happiness, fun, joy and humor he has brought to all of our lives.
I didn't take a lot of pictures so everyone that did, feel free to "reply all" or send them to me and I'll distribute.
Dad, Mom and I had a great time and the drive home was just as beautiful as the day with the floating pink clouds, the pale turquoise sky and the dark mahoganies against the dried grasses.
Thanks to Paula and all the Webbs for hosting and thanks to everyone that was able to come. Great to see all of the high school and college kids!
This last shot...I'll let Dan explain! I think a nice bottle cork in the top of his truck out to fix it!
