Francisco. He was active in the Western Institute on Epilepsy, the Western EEG
Society, the Epilepsy Foundation of America, the American League Against
Epilepsy, the Utah State Driver License Medical Advisory Board, the Association
of Mormon Counselors and Psychotherapists, etc. He was awarded a distinguished
service award by the Utah Medical Association and a certificate of appreciation
for service to the State of Utah by the governor. He served for many years,
until the time of his death, as chairman of medical panels for the Utah Labor
Commission. He was active in the Boy Scouts of America, becoming district
chairman and later Council Explorer Program Chairman, in which role he took the
largest contingent of young men to the National Post Presidents' Conference in
