I love these pictures. They were taken at a family reunion at BYU when I was around 7 years old, and my brother Matt would have been 12 or so. My sweet grandpa Speirs had a stroke about 10 years ago and has never been the same. He is still the sweet and kind grandpa I have always known, but he is confined in a body that won't function the way it once did. Before the stroke, he worked at the National Institute of Fitness in St. George (now the Red Mountain Spa) and led groups of walkers through Snow Canyon. He could walk most anyone's socks off! He even competed in the senior games in St. George in the speed walking event. How cool is that? :) I love my gramps!
