Show ROYCEFLANDRO March 21,2000 degree, and that was 1949-50. We still were having children--our last child, our seventh child, was born when I was just starting as vice president of the technical college in 1968. There were three girls, then a boy, and then we had three girls. I worked to pay the medical costs in a variety of ways such as delivering mail, working as a carpenter, and so forth to help pay those additional costs. We went into the Am way business when our children started going on missions for the LOS Church and going to college. WINN: You had six girls and one boy? ROYCE: Yes. WINN: How many of your girls went on missions? ROYCE: There were three of them that went on missions and the boy went on a mission. We had a lot of fun in the Am way business. We bought us a motor home so that we could go and do things. I was still a professor at the university and didn't want to have any conflict of interest, so I limited my Am way work to eight hours a week. We had to do that just on Friday night and Saturday. We didn't work on Sunday. We built it up, and made good money. We were able to finance many missions and get ourselves out of debt--that sort of thing. It was very helpful. We had a lot of fun. We had a business organization all over the western states. We soon were getting so that we had to fly in order to do it all in a short time. WINN: Did you live in Provo at the time? ROYCE: We lived in Orem at the time. Before I retired, my wife died of cancer in April of 1985. I met Jane, my second wife, in 1986 and we were married in 1987. We lived in Salt Lake, and I commuted from Salt Lake City to BYU the last two years. In 1988 I retired. Then we went on a mission to Spain for the LOS Church. WINN: Did you have to learn Spanish? ROYCE: We had to learn Spanish, yes. Then we went on a mission to Hungary, and we had to learn Hungarian. While we were there they assigned us to Romania. We got home April 40 |
