Biographical Note/Historical Note +/-

Growing up in Lehi, Utah, Richard Van Wagoner's interest in local history was fanned by the enthusiasm of his mother, Gayle Smith Julian Van Wagoner. Gayle, an avid genealogist and descendent of several pioneer families, walked her sons about town on numerous occasions, pointing out to them important buildings and historic sites while regaling them with memorable anecdotes. A richly rewarding Lehi High School American history course taught by Dean Welch further bolstered Van Wagoner's interest in history. While serving an LDS mission to the Central States, where much Mormon history took place, his love for history became even stronger. After marrying Mary Carter and continuing his education at Brigham Young University, however, Van Wagoner obtained a master's degree in clinical audiology. Van Wagoner has authored more than a dozen audiology articles which have been published in various professional journals. He is also an avid Mormon historical researcher and writer.
