Mark J. Bingham – B.S., Ag. Econ., 1972; M.S., Econ., 1975
SunHerald.com - March 26, 2008 To a sheep rancher, one lamb born to each ewe is common. Two lambs are ideal. Three or more, however, mean trouble, since one ewe cannot feed three lambs on her own. As a result, the third lamb is left alone to starve and die unless special provisions are made. Commonly, ranchers will hire someone, usually a child, to feed the "bum" lambs with a bottle and take care of them. Many times, the little lamb will bond to its surrogate mother and follow her anywhere allowed. – Read more

Kevin D. Curtis – B.S. Markting, 2003
Las Vegas, NV; Salt Lake Tribune - February 23, 2008
By Kurt Kragthorpe
Of all the reasons to be impressed with Philadelphia Eagles receiver Kevin Curtis, this number is still the biggest of them all.
Forty-eight.
Having studied for and taken the Wonderlic Personnel Test that's administered to NFL draft hopefuls, I came away convinced I would have a better chance of matching Curtis' achievements of running the 40-yard dash in 4.2 seconds, signing a $32 million contract and catching 77 passes in an NFL season than scoring a 48 on the Wonderlic. – Read more
David Paul Morris – B.S. Busines Information Technology and Education, 2006
Pleasant Grove, UT - February 20, 2008 A fiend of a friend knows this guy, David Morris, who he says I should do a story on. He has some physical disabilities, I am told, but they don't hold him back at all; he's a regular guy who is an inspiration to everyone he meets.
So we set up an interview at the offices of Omni Brokerage, the investment real estate firm in the south end of the valley where Morris works. I arrive first, wondering exactly what disabilities we're talking about here, and then Morris walks in and it's obvious. He has short arms. His hands hang at chest level, about where your elbow should be. – Read more
