Calvin L. Rampton November 6, 1913 – September 16, 2007 Calvin Lewellyn “Cal” Rampton was the 11th Governor in the state of Utah and the only three-term governor, he held office from 1965 to 1977. Calvin Rampton was born to Lewellyn Smith Rampton and Janet Campbell Rampton on November 6, 1913 in Bountiful, Utah, the oldest of three children. He married Lucybeth Cardon on March 10, 1940 and they had four children. After his graduation from Davis High School in 1931, he took over the family automobile business, due to his father’s death that same year. In 1933 he sold the business and went to college at the University of Utah. He graduated in 1936 and four years later after also attending George Washington University Law School he received his law degree from the University of Utah. While attending George Washington University from 1936 to 1938, he was administrative assistant to Utah Congressman J. Will Robinson. He was the Davis County Attorney from 1939 to 1941 and Assistant Attorney General for Utah from 1941 to 1942. During World War II he served in the U.S. Army in Europe and at war’s end was Chief of the Senior U.S. Army Claims Commission in Paris. After the war, he returned to Salt Lake City, where he practiced law until his election as governor in 1964. Once Rampton was in office he became one of the most popular governors in the state’s history. With a unbeatable knack for conciliation and pro-business/development stance that allowed him to become the consensus candidate of the business and political establishment, he was re-elected easily in 1968 and even more easily in 1972. As governor, Rampton worked closely with business leaders and pushed industrial development, tourism, development and energy resources, and expansion of the defense industry in Utah. He also established the Little Hoover Commission to recommend ways of restructuring and reorganizing state government, he established the Utah Police Training Academy. Governor Rampton passed away September 16, 2007 he is buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery. His grave location is: Plat – West, Block – 7, Lot – 72, Grave – 4, Tier – E .

Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony for the New Multi-Agency State Office Building Sponsored by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality Donna Kemp Spangler, Editor Fred Nelson Retires Attorney has Helped Shaped Utah's Environmental Laws For 33 years, Fred Nelson has helped improve Utah's air, land and water—many times from a boardroom, law library or inside a courtroom. Nelson, who represented the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), retired June 30 after a long and distinguished career in the Utah Attorney's General Office, the past 22 years serving as the Division Chief of the Environmental Division. His successor is Denise Chancellor who served along side him, most notably representing the state of Utah in litigation over keeping high-level nuclear waste from entering the Goshute Indian Reservation. "I started in 1977 when Cal Rampton was Governor," he said. "I've worked with many people, including five Attorneys General, several Executive Directors of DEQ and Division Directors." The start of Nelson's career coincided with the passage of federal environmental laws. He helped draft Utah's first environmental statutes that oversee all aspects of DEQ's six divisions. "As each federal law passed, I was able to learn each program," he said. He was instrumental in helping draft legislation that created DEQ in 1991. Shortly after that, Nelson represented the state in one of the largest damage claims—the Kennecott Natural Resources Damage Claim.

Wight, Dean of The Graduate School. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ABSTRACT In the 1992 United States Senate election, Utah continued its strong trend toward conservatism. Since the 1960s, Utahns identified themselves predominantly with the Republican Party. This ideological transformation occurred in conjunction with a significant population shift from urban areas to suburban communities, growing conservative strongholds in Utah politics. Traditional urban versus rural tension continued, but a decrease in rural residents limited its importance, particularly in general elections. With Utahns joining the conservative movement in large numbers, Republican Bob Bennett, a candidate with no previous elected experience, easily defeated four-term Democratic Congressman Wayne Owens in the 1992 U.S. Senate election. The most competitive contest in this race occurred in the Republican primary rather than the general election, a trend demonstrating the increasingly conservative nature of the state. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were key to potential change.
