What We Do Once a Month on the First Monday

Dixie Colleagues Lecture Series!

There have been duds, there have been extraordinary ones.

Speakers from all walks of life and all kinds of careers.

We laugh,,we are in awe, we are inspired.

And, on Monday we experienced one of the absolute BESTEST!

Del Parson talked about his career, his art, his inspiration, and some challenges in his life.

Del explained how he was commissioned to do a portrait of the Saviour.  He submitted several examples, but they came back to him with suggestions.  Finally, the First Presidency settle on this stunning picture, which is seen all over the church and in peoples's homes.  What a thrill to hear him talk about the creation of this picture.

It was FANTASTIC!

As a student at Ricks College, I had the opportunity to go with Del's parents on a trip to Chicago to see an art fair.  It was one of the most memorable experiences of my life.  I loved his parents; such happy, dear folk.
The entire Parson family is so very talented in art and to hear Del Parson was just sheer JOY!

And, I do love the Dixie Colleagues Meetings which we have been going to for many years since we arrived here!

It's an odd thing; we are retired (Mostly TIRED on my part, but we are SO VERY BUSY!)  It's just crazy how busy we get each week.  It's good.
