SUMMARY:
VIVIAN EDGAR PRICE graduated from Arizona State Teachers College (ASU) with BA,
MA and Reading/LD Specialist Degrees in Education. Arizona State Teachers' College
is now, and has been, for many years, Arizona State University. I was an elementary teacher in the Osborn
School District for ten years and later I joined the staff at Sevilla School in the Alhambra District where I was teaching

I became very involved with the Heard Museum and at one time was President of the Heard Guild. The Heard Museum
Guild has 700 volunteer members. I volunteer there regularly. I am also on the Board of Governors at the Phoenix Museum of History. I volunteer for the Arizona Historical Society and the Phoenix Symphony.

Mountain in the Moon Valley Country Club area, which is north of Thunderbird Road in Phoenix.
John is a well-known and respected builder in the Phoenix area. Most of
his clients become his trusted friends.
Before his father died, John gave his
lady friend of many years, Darlene Keller, an engagement ring. This made Freddy very happy. He loved Darlene and
was so pleased with their engagement. They were married on February 14, 1998, about one year after his father's death.
Darlene was previously married to Jack
Keller. They had two sons. Bret and Todd. Both boys have college degrees and are successful in their careers.
Both are happily married. Bret and Day, and his wife, have one-year-old twin girls.
Todd and Allison have a ten month old baby boy
I am the luckiest and I think the happiest wife, mother, grandmother and
great-grand mother in the world.
