Theme:....lifetime residents of American Fork, 80 years plus and still giving....

Information to be read by the announcer: Riding in a 1960 restored to original Dodge truck are lifetime residents of American Fork, Cecil and Nina Hansen. Cecil and Nina were both born and raised in American Fork by families who settled in the American Fork area more than a century ago. Nina Sykes was raised on Main Street, Cecil Hansen just a few blocks north. The main street home is still a residence and occupied by their son, James and his wife Penny and their children. They met during their school years. Both were in the American Fork band during High School. They married December 21, 1942, celebrating their 62 wedding anniversary this past year. Cecil Hansen served in the Air Force during World War II. He was a School Teacher, Principal and Alpine Assistant Superintendant here in American Fork. Nina danced at the University of Utah, she played and protected the children on the playground, raised her family and grandchildren with a style of her very own. They both have served in many church positions, Nina giving more than 60 years of service. As Veterans of War, Survivors of the Depression, Encyclopedias of History, and examples to all who know them, their lifetime emulates strength to family, and community that is honored by all who know and love them. We celebrate them as a part of American Forks heritage, more than "80" years of community strength. An "antique car" with "antique people".....PRICELESS!!!
