Larry Gene Smith died peacefully in North Logan
His health was challenged by various illnesses that weakened his body
though his mind was sharp as a tack until the end
he was the eldest brother to Kent (Linda) Smith and Pamela (Dennis) Baird
He loved his family and they lived an idyllic life in Franklin
MS} and University of Utah {Doctorate of Music Education}

Bonnie came to USU on a scholarship earned as Miss Idaho
having won the Most Talented Musician award in the 1958 Miss America pageant
Bonnie joined the marching band where Larry was the drum major
He cleverly wrote Bonnie's name next to his on a bus seating chart for a long band trip to Moscow
Idaho–using department head Max Dalby’s famed fountain pen

Larry crooned “That’s All” in her ear

“Let’s Get Away From It All”
They sealed their love at the Idaho Falls Temple
Bonnie teamed up with him to direct the musicals.
Larry taught Band and English Literature at Ben Lomond High School and Mound Fort Jr
UT when Utah State University recruited Larry as a music instructor.

it turned out to be only a short 2 years before she passed away
Dad has been very open with us and his friends about how much he misses her
Jazz History and directed the two Jazz Ensembles
He taught countless students private piano

Out of a desire to share their love of performing
later to be joined by even younger Shane and Nate on vocals and drums
Our first 1969 hit was a rock version of “Give Said The Little Stream”
“A family that plays together stays together.” So when “Love Will Keep Us Together!” came out
In addition to numerous gigs for various occasions
our annual favorite was playing at the Logan 24th of July Celebration
Dad would write out the music the night before and the family band would learn it the morning of the performance
The entire family continues to derive joy and excitement from performing music
and have passed it on to their families.
Grandpa and Grandma Smith (Tea-Party Grandma & Grandpa Video) were all-in grandparents
resources and so much love to each grandkid
they joined Monica’s big family for dinner
They would hang out gleefully in the grandkid bedlam all afternoon and into the evening.

The out-of-town grandkids have fond memories of Christmases
and Summer Vacations spent in Logan with the grandparents and cousins.
even came to Logan to live with them for several months
And tenderly helped take care of Grandma who was starting to show signs of dementia.
Grandpa also picked up 5 step-grandkids along the way
and instantly showed them that they were definitely his grandkids by demonstrating the same deep interest and devotion that he showers on his other grandkids.
Grandpa remained highly engaged with all his grandkids
He felt fortunate to live long enough to meet and go crazy over his new great-grandkids
Larry played with the Four Sounds house band at the Ogden Country Club
In the early seventies Larry formed Sounds Unlimited with guitarist Mike Christiansen–the final iteration being Bonnie on bass
Bonnie & Ned played with the band for its last seven years
They were often joined by their daughter Monica and by Mike’s wife
even though the bandstand had a protective chicken wire barrier at the front of the stage
they flinched every time a bottle hit it and shattered
Sounds Unlimited continued into the early 80’s with other great musicians
Mike Christiansen formed the last rock band that Larry would play in
Larry left rock music in the mid 80’s
he still loved sitting in on flute and sax to the delight of Shane
and Ned’s rock bands from time-to-time
he devoted himself to the particular world of music he loved most
Larry was one of the founders of the annual Sunburst Club Glen Miller Shows
the Larry Smith Jazz Kicks Band played for the Celebrate America Shows
which were also focused on World War II themes
These two popular shows featured comedy routines
all backed by Jazz Kicks who were featured prominently on stage
Larry’s son Ned traveled from Seattle to play with the Jazz Kicks band for many of the Celebrate America shows
Thousands of people attended Sunburst Club and Celebrate America annually for almost two decades
Fans still tell us about how much they loved hitting the dance floor after those shows.
Far Reaching Influence as a music educator and performer
“That job was exactly what I was born to do
I got up every day excited to go to work.”
–Larry Smith regarding teaching at USU.
Dad had a hugely positive effect on so many people who have studied with him
Numerous students went on to become professional performers
Many others have told us they applied his high standards
and example in their non-musical careers.
Throughout his career he received numerous accolades.

He and Mom would even drive or fly to New York
to see their kids play a gig that was important to us.
He loved learning how his students had moved on with their lives
and relished telling heroic stories of their adversities
He possessed and cherished sharply detailed memories of his USU Jazz Band students
he could also recite where each student was raised
He could tell you what student played a solo in what song in what academic term of what year in either of his two USU Jazz Bands.
Larry was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
He served in many callings including Sunday School and Primary teacher
and High Counselor in the USU Married Stake
He used his God given musical talent to compose and arrange music for road shows
His bands played for numerous LDS youth dances
and almost continuously as the beloved director and arranger for his North Logan Ward choirs
He loved playing every week for 15 years to support Bonnie’s sing-alongs at her Adult Day Care center for dementia clients at Sunshine Terrace.
he started his ultimate passion project: The Larry Smith Jazz Kicks Band
–Declaring it was “Just for kicks.”
The Kicks band has played two concerts per year since it’s inception
they have played the Glen Miller shows and other gigs
Larry chose a different artist or theme for every concert
On concerts that featured the music of only one artist or composer
and the other players were able to dive deeply into an intimate study of that artist
and his audience loved these themed concerts
Because his favorite arrangements of the artist’s tunes were often not available
Larry transcribed each of the 18 instruments note for note from the original recordings
Recently he’s been doing themes on composers like Cole Porter and Richard Rogers
He also wrote his own red hot arrangements of his favorite tunes for Kicks
Many of his students became his colleagues as they played in Kicks together
collaborators and Larry’s confidants throughout the years–you know who you all are
A group of Kicks players came to his hospice room a few days before he passed away
Every song soft drum solos expertly played on pizza boxes to keep the perfect volume for the room
Larry even attempted to sit up and play with them
saxophonist Brian Baird helping him hold his saxophone
“Don’t be too disappointed”
We’d been trying to talk him out of it in advance!
Larry would get up every morning and work on Kicks arrangements
When his lip had had enough he’d go back to arranging
When he’d get too tired from arranging again
he’d practice flute until his embouchure would give out
Then he’d repeat the whole thing again and again throughout the day
sometimes I just don’t feel tired so I keep working until 1:00 AM
“I don’t want to disappoint the band
I gotta go home and get my arrangements done before Kicks starts rehearsals.”
Larry’s favorite chart is Count Basie’s Corner Pocket
Larry has always insisted that Corner Pocket be played at his funeral
“Because that’s where I’ll be–-in the corner pocket
And when it comes to the big shout chorus at the end
I’m gonna rise up outta my coffin.”
the Larry Smith Jazz Kicks Band is going to play Corner Pocket.
Larry would want us to make sure we invite you to hear the Jazz Kicks band play the Larry Smith Memorial Concert on April 1
2025 at the USU Chase Fine Arts Center’s Morgan Theater
Each song is one of Larry’s favorites
He chose them for the program fully expecting to recover and play his sax on stage with the band
Larry is preceded in death by his Parents William and Melda Smith
Shane (Andrea) Smith and Nate Smith; siblings Kent (Linda) Smith and Pamela (Dennis) Baird
and countless musical / jazz daughters & sons.

while living at Maple Springs of North Logan
the oldest of four children born to Lawrence G
with several moves while her father was stationed at various military bases in California and Colorado.
Laura met the love of her life during her high school years and even though she attended North Cache High School
they were sealed in the Logan LDS Temple on June 22
Lee and Laura didn’t waste any time starting their family and over the next 14 years had seven children: Lee Jr
Scott (Mary Ann) and Carolyn (Kurt Benson)
They moved around with Lee’s jobs at Boeing (Seattle)
Bucyrus-Erie (Pocatello) and Bourns (Logan.) Laura always said she would follow Lee to the ends of the earth and when they moved to Pocatello
She had a sharp sense of humor and sassy personality
which surprised many because of her angelic outward appearance
They moved into their beloved home in Smithfield Canyon in 1963
She was the epitome of a stay-at-home mom of seven kids and a meticulous housewife
who loved making her home a place where everyone felt welcomed
safe and rarely left with an empty stomach
as well as her grandmother and mother-in-law
she somehow found time to also work part-time doing secretarial work at Utah State University
She always loved serving in various church positions in Sunday School
you can bet that they were heavily involved in Boy Scouts and served as troop leaders for many years together
they found themselves immersed in and enjoying genealogy work
and together they created several treasured books with incredible family ancestral information
including amazing personal stories and many old photos
Family was always first and foremost to her - past and present
and she showed it with never-ending love and devotion
Laura was a woman of many talents and loved cooking/baking
knitting and created so many beautiful threaded works of art
that are sure to be cherished for generations to come.
Laura was the proud grandmother of 20 grandchildren
45 great-grandchildren and four great-great grandchildren and loved spending time with them all
Fond memories were always made at the many family gatherings at grandma and grandpa’s house
family trips and reunions to the Oregon Coast
Sometimes the greatest memories were created just by showing up at their home to visit and usually going home with a fresh loaf of sourdough bread
She just had a way of making every family occasion or holiday special
She had a wonderful listening ear and offered sound and loving advice when needed - without judgement
She and Lee were such great examples of true love
You really couldn’t think of one of them without the other
They were married 68 years before Lee passed away in 2017
and his sweet bride has been heart-broken ever since
Knowing that they are together again and that she will be home for the holidays brings so much joy
But they will miss her deeply every day – till they meet again
Lawrence and Opal Weeks; her three brothers
Special thanks to the great staff at Maple Springs and Aegis Homecare and Hospice
caring and tender way they cared for Laura
especially in the last few months as her health declined.

It is my pleasure to welcome you to this conference on the outlook for North American trade and immigration
which the Dallas Fed is hosting in collaboration with the Peterson Institute for International Economics
Today’s conversation comes at a pivotal time as the new governments both here in the United States and in Mexico adjust trade
These policies will affect the national and global economies
international relations and communities throughout the district the Dallas Fed serves
The goal of today’s conference is to discuss economic relationships across the U.S.
Mexico and North America and bring forth perspectives that can help inform the public about these timely issues
The Dallas Fed values the opportunity to hear from and engage with people from an assortment of backgrounds including subject matter experts
By bringing multidisciplinary views together
we deepen our collective understanding of these quickly evolving topics
Let me note that the views I share are mine and not necessarily those of my Federal Open Market Committee colleagues
the Dallas Fed has the unique opportunity to engage in collaborative research
analysis and conversations on cross-border issues
Our long-standing relationships with our neighbors in Mexico help us to effectively gather insights on the ground and engage in conversations that inform and guide research and analysis
These interactions enhance our understanding of the U.S.–Mexico relationship and allow us to better serve the public
and these conversations allow us to hear how policy changes transmit into daily life
the Dallas Fed launched the Global Institute
The institute builds on the foundation of our previous Center for Latin American Economics
which played a pivotal role in enhancing public understanding of economic policy in Latin America
and of the Globalization and Monetary Policy Institute
which examined how economic integration affected monetary policy
we plan to grow the Dallas Fed’s concentration and influence in the field of international economic research and to be a center of policy-related research on global trade
with a particular interest in linkages with Mexico
One way we accomplish this is by collaborating with leading economists in the field and organizations such as the Peterson Institute to produce impactful research and provide timely insights on the U.S.–Mexico relationship and broader global contexts
I encourage you to visit the Global Institute web site
where you can read our research on migration patterns
the pass-through of trade costs to consumer prices and more
Changes in trade and other policies will have substantial effects on the U.S
Financial market prices have been volatile as market participants digest those implications
as well as uncertainties about the specifics of policies and about how policies will work their way through the economy
higher-than-expected tariffs would very likely raise both unemployment and inflation
The persistence of the effect on inflation would depend on how quickly companies pass through cost increases and whether long-term inflation expectations remain well anchored
A sustained burst of inflation could lead households and businesses to expect further price increases
especially following the persistently elevated inflation in recent years
the FOMC pursues both maximum employment and price stability
Both of those objectives benefit American families
History teaches that when higher inflation expectations become entrenched
the road back to price stability is longer
the labor market is weaker and the economic scars are deeper
To sustainably achieve both of our dual-mandate goals
it will be important to keep any tariff-related price increases from fostering more persistent inflation
I believe the stance of monetary policy is well positioned
I look forward to robust discussions today that can deepen our collective understanding of the U.S.–Mexico relationship
the North American economy and the implications of recent policy changes
And I look forward to continuing this conversation in the fall when we hold the second installment of this dialogue in Washington
We are especially pleased to have community and business leaders here with us
and we look forward to hearing from you about how trade and immigration policies directly affect your companies

Marie Beutler Godfrey's mother painted a little pumpkin scene outside her family farm in North Logan
"Some young teenage boys got the idea to throw some of those pumpkins around as it happened the policemen were in the area
and brought them to her door," Marie recalled
Her mother invited them inside and offered them a treat
When the officer asked her what she wanted him to do next
she didn't ask the young boys to be punished
'Why don't you just come back next year and help me build a bigger better scene?'," Marie said
the scene got bigger and would be known as the North Logan Pumpkin Walk
"The farm couldn't hold the population that went through there were up to 10,000 people each night that walked through their farm and it grew to almost 20,000," said Marie's husband
The Pumpkin Walk is a community event run by all volunteers — some of whom have been part of the event for years
and squash and other available fall produce items
and create something really special and magical," said Rachel Worthen the Entertainment Coordinator for the North Logan Pumpkin Walk Committee
This year the walk has nearly 50 scenes — Worthen's family and friends helped create a Spiderman design
"I love watching people walk by and see all of our hard work," Worthen said
"I love to kind of just stand in the corner and listen to them say
look at that,' or 'They did this,' or 'I love this'."
The Beutler Godfrey family recreated the magic of the 2024 Paris Olympics
so we wanted to honor two of the people that were here in the valley
and then anyone else that came upon the minds of the children," Ron said
"There's such a comradery as you come and walk around and people are building their scenes," Marie added
Marie says her parents worried Halloween was becoming "too dark," so she thinks they'd be proud of what the North Logan Pumpkin Walk has become
"I think it does create that environment that my parents would've appreciated so much warmth
The North Logan Pumpkin Walk is free to the public
The pumpkin scenes will be on display through October 15

That sense of togetherness can be felt by visitors to the Cache Valley Remembers 9/11 Project

more than 7,000 schoolchildren will be in attendance
we don’t know enough about our history to be able to pave a good path for our future,” Taylor said

Cache Valley • Months after Cache Valley’s main shopping destination bit the dust
a well-known women’s clothing store has reopened in a new location
Minnesota-based retail chain Maurices, which operated at the Cache Valley Mall before the shopping center shuttered in April, opened its new store this month at 1724 N. Main St. in North Logan.
“We love this community,” said Maurices district leader Mara Whittier. “We’ve been there since the first store opened in the ‘80s.”
Whittier pointed to the area’s small-town charm, saying it fits perfectly with the brand’s mission to “make a positive difference in the lives of women who are the hearts of their hometown.”
Maurices now has 850 stores across the U.S. and Canada, and primarily focuses on creating versatile styles for women of all ages.
Whittier says the new location emphasizes a friendly, personalized shopping experience.
“We really want our customers,” she said, “to feel like they’re shopping with a friend.”
Despite the challenging retail landscape, Whittier said Maurices saw a clear need to return to the area.
“It’s been so exciting and such a warm welcome,” she said. “The community was upset when we closed, but we’re happy to be back.”
