Every day I am learning more about my new "home".   As you know, if you watch ABC4, I am new to Utah.  My wife and I are settling in and really enjoying the warmer temperatures.

When I was asked to do this twice-weekly blog, I decided that I would tell you what I am learning about your state, but in an unusual way.  I am going to tell you the stories of the people I meet. 

Sometimes it will be someone "famous", like the wife of our Governor who I had a chance to meet in our newsroom last week.  Sometimes it will be the conductor on the "Trax" line that runs near my downtown home.  Either way the people I meet will be the people you meet in my blog. 

I found that the stories I hear from "real" people help me understand the culture and history of Salt Lake City and the state.  People love to tell me stories about injustices they or others have faced, or politicians who they think have abused their power, or I just hear personal stories of family love and tragedy.

So, help re-learn Utah with me.  As I am exposed to the wonders of Utah and the beauty of it's people, you can also find out that there is more to this state and this area than even you know.

Also, you can learn a bit about me and how I see my new home. 

I will post again on Thursday.  Check it out to see who is first on my list.
