Part of our family reunion is a visit to Mt. Pleasant and Wasatch Academy. All six children attended Wasatch Academy during the 1920s and 1930s. Katherine Stott and Barbara Erickson have been to Mt. Pleasant twice this spring to visit the town and Wasatch Academy to prepare for our trip on the Friday of the reunion.
Casey Brinkley, the Alumni Director at Wasatch Academy, has been very helpful showing us around campus and pulling old yearbooks with pictures of family members in them. They were quite an accomplished lot! She is arranging our visit that day to Wasatch Academy. For a minimal charge, Casey has arranged a lunch at the school just for us. We will see where our parents and grandparents went to chapel and class and we will also see John's Gym where Barbara Anne was a "Feminine Tiger" basketball player and the students ate their meals in the basement.

We would like to honor the Rasmussen siblings with a donation to Wasatch Academy. They graduated from Wasatch Academy between 1925 and 1939. The interior of John's Gym is being renovated into a Performing Arts Center for the school. For a family donation totaling $500, we can honor the six siblings with a plaque on one of the seats in the new performing arts center. You can donate at the reunion or donate now on the Wasatch Academy website through this link: http://www.wasatchacademy.org/podium/default.aspx?t=113385 Just be sure to mention that it is for the Rasmussen Family Chair. This donation is totally optional--we do not want anyone to feel obligated--but we think this is an opportunity for those interested to give back to a school that gave the Rasmussens an excellent education.
So shake loose your caboose and all aboard for Park City!
