The state legislature faced the thorny task of having to make significant cuts. After all, Utah’s constitution mandates a balanced budget. The University of Utah suffered deep cuts, but thanks to the work of several dedicated legislators, Health Sciences came out of the fray in pretty good shape. Certainly we were hit in several key areas, but because some lawmakers saw the importance of what we do, we survived. Making things even brighter were our donors. In a year of dreary economic news and a drastic downturn in the stock market, our donors came through magnificently. Contributions were higher than ever before. I’m particularly pleased that employees have donated to the new University Hospital Eccles Critical Care Pavilion in record numbers. We have been in the world spotlight and shone. We have met the toughest test of recent years and triumphed. It was a year of Olympian accomplishments. A.

On graduation Mitzi’s first job was teaching children of Army personnel stationed at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Her fifth graders were already veterans of world travel. “It was nice because I was just from Tremonton, Utah and had never been anyplace.” Her second year was in El Paso and her third year in Tucson where fate and the Air Force landed a lieutenant named Rod Brady. They married in 1960 and set off to follow Rod’s dreams and goals. But while he was leading companies, serving on numerous boards and advising presidents, Mitzi kept up her interest in teaching and undertook a huge load of volunteer work while raising three sons. Her husband, the ultimate goal setter, calls his wife “the ultimate volunteer” and says frankly, “I could have accomplished very little without her.” Mitzi is involved in a wide array of community efforts, but helping kids who need it seems to be her biggest thrill. She volunteers at an inner city school, helping at-risk children. “There was this one first grader, who looked like a little gang member. I could see him slowly soften and then on the very last day of school he gave me a big hug and said, ‘I’m going to miss you.’” Both have numerous interests that have them looking ahead. Rod is into exercise, bird-watching and astronomy— attempting “to understand the nature of the heavens and where this universe fits into humanity.” Mitzi wants to resume playing the violin. She believes making music is challenging, enjoyable and a means of keeping her mind clear and sharp. Rod did set one goal he will never meet, to retire at 55. Neither seems to be the retiring type. Mitzi still keeps a busy volunteer schedule. Rod reports directly to Gordon B. Hinckley, the president of the LDS Church. Rod says when he talks to him about retiring the 92-year old president looks at him and asks, “Now, how old are you?” Rod says talk of retirement “pretty much ends there.” The Rodney H. and Carolyn H.

  • Nancy Valentine Young Oct
    Nancy Valentine Young Oct. 16, 1935 ~ April 10, 2021 Born October 16, 1935 to Grant Lovegreen and Mary Merrell Valentine, Nancy died April 10, 2021 in Salt Lake City, following complications from cancer. Growing up in Salt Lake, she graduated from East High School and the University of Utah, earning a degree in Political Science. On May 31, 1957 Nancy and her one true love Robert L. (Bob) Young were married. For the next two decades, she focused primarily on raising her three children – Christian Young (Lisa) Tanya Beaulieu (Jean) and Kimberly Kniveton (Juan) – while also managing her parents’ businesses and investments. Always passionate about Democratic politics, in 1976 Nancy joined Scott Matheson’s first successful gubernatorial campaign and acted as its Treasurer. Preferring always to be the organizer and supporter versus the leader, she declined opportunities in his cabinet and, instead, became Chief of Staff to Norma Matheson. Among many other projects, she supervised the renovation of the Kearns House and the new Governor’s Mansion. In her late 40’s, Nancy decided to go back to school and earned a Masters of Library Science from Brigham Young University. As a result, she began an 18-year career at the University of Utah’s Marriott Library heading their Manuscript Division of Special Collections, where she became an Associate Professor. Nancy was always involved and interested in the Salt Lake community. Among many organizations, she was an active participant and organizer in the League of Women Voters, Committee on Foreign Relations and, in her early years, the Junior League, where she helped create the first Heritage Cookbook.
