Since our ward was split a couple weeks ago Bishop and Hannah Clark hosted a get together at the church ball park for the families of those who served with him during his years as a bishop. They had a full barbeque: chicken, corn on the cob, beans, rolls, green salad and, of course, all sorts of popcicles! Bishop is famous for often supplying yummy popcicles of all varieties.
These men all served with bishop Clark as counselors, executive secretary, ward clerks, young men president...
Bishop and Hannah had so many fun things planned. Here is Hannah blowing up a rocket balloon - the kids had so much fun chasing them as they blasted off.
Chase taking his turn with a rocket balloon! They also had a huge pinata full of candy. The kids loved it! Brother Spear brought his mini-bike and everyone, big and small, had a good time going for a ride on it. Later some enjoyed a game of baseball, many of us just enjoyed visiting with each other.We got there about 5 p.m. and the caretaker had to ask us to leave at 9 p.m. We were all so relaxed and having such a good time we were not ready to go home yet. Our family gave Bishop and Hannah a picture of the Mesa temple as a thank you for their endless hours of service. We will so miss not being in the same ward as them, but know our friendship will continue.

Cori! So good to hear from you. Sounds like it was a very fun party. How sad that every one was divided. I heard about it from Cori Peterson. Tell everyone hello. I miss you too. Next time I come to Tucson I will let you know and we will have to catch up. Love ya-Adriane Hap
Cori, I just clicked over from Adriane's blog--I was born and raised in Tucson, my grandparents and other family still live there (The Elreys). I don't know any bloggers in Tucson, but I almost CRIED when i clicked over and saw your pix of the Clarks and my beautiful mountains! I grew up with the Clark kids in what was the 8th ward back in the 80's(I am/was the oldest of 9 kids, so our families matched up). I am living in Montana now and come home about once a year, but it sure is fun to see/hear about folks I know there!Who is your Stake President now? Are you in East or Rincon Stake? Are there more east side stakes now?
Cori--I got your message at my blog--THANKS! My maiden name was Jamie Post, now it's Melin. It will be fun to check in and see what's up in Tucson!
Hey--does Adriane have a blog? Would love to see it if she does!
