Who are These Amazing Youth Anyway?
Sacramento Outtakes One, Part 2

By Scot Facer Proctor

Editors' Note:  With your help in sending in the names of these wonderful youth in the last two days, we have placed a number of captions on the pictures below.  Please help us fill in all the rest of the blanks.  You wouldn't want one youth to be left out, would you?   If you can help us identify any of the youth below (who have not been identified) please click here .

If you just joined in with us, we’re trying to caption the following pictures (as well as the ones in Part 1) with who these youth are and where they are from (and where they are going?). Please help us figure out the names of the youth, what stake they are from and then please let THEM know that they are being featured on Meridian Magazine.

If you’re not sure what to do, please click back to Part 1 for instructions, otherwise, let’s keep moving.

in this segment: Sacramento Cordova, Carmichael, Sacramento

East, and Sacramento North.

Rob Kroff, Stockton Stake , who served on the creative committee

and wrote one of the songs ("Who am I?") with his wife, Ria.  He

played the part of Azariah's Father in the production.

Playing the part of "Elizabeth" was Savannah Argyle, Gerber Ward,

Elk Grove Stake.

Paul Allen is one of the funniest people on the planet.  However, his

sense of humor is very dry...and some people actually think he is

serious.  Suggested caption from one Meridian reader:  "Do you see

that left thumb?  I would give that thumb if any bass can sing the right

note."

Photo #17

Far left young woman is Bao Her, Pacific Rim Branch, California

Stockton Stake.  Don't yet have the names of the other youth (please

send them in), but the Irish/Chinese/Asian/Russian dancers and

drummers were all from the Elk Grove Stake and the Sacramento

Stake.  The Hmong dancers were from three wards/branches - one

from Sacramento Stake, one from Sacramento North Stake, and one

from Stockton Stake, but the kids actually are scattered all over the

place.  We'd sure love to know who these other young women are!

From a Meridian reader:  "I know the brunette boy in the middle (front

and center) is my son, Matthew Hodgson.  The tall pretty brunette

behind him is Kellie Deaver."  The girl on the far left with the braids is

Emily Shields, Rocklin 2nd Ward, Rocklin Stake.

Kaitlin Hancock (immediate foreground) played the part of Sarah.  Far

left, back row, Savannah Argyle (Elizabeth), Spencer Borup (Azariah)

and Josh Morgan (Historian).  Irish Dancer, green shirt, left of Kaitlin

Hancock, is John Tinney Of the West Sacramento Ward,

Sacramento Stake. Can you still help us identify the other youth in

this picture?

Are you willing to caption even more pictures?
