Many years ago, school children in Brigham City attended school at Central School, just across Main Street from the Tabernacle.
Among those students were Ruby Kotter and her brothers and sisters.
Eventually the school deteriorated and new schools replaced it. Central School was demolished, leaving an empty lot.
It was in October 2009 that exciting news was announced for the empty lot! It was to become the site of a new temple. Mom, who grew up in Brigham City was excited to hear the news and took an interest in the progress of the building. Almost three years after the announcement, the temple was completed and dedicated. Although we hoped to take Mom there, car accidents, surgeries, closures and other things interfered with our plans.
Today was finally the day. We met at the temple at 1:45 and enjoyed our time there. The workers there were kind and patient with us. They provided assistance for Mom so she could hear. We greatly enjoyed our time together.
Afterwards, we decided to go and enjoy Brigham City's best food before going home.
