Who
are These Amazing Youth, Anyway?
Sacramento Outtakes One, Part 3
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 here
in Part 3, we’re trying to caption the following pictures
(as well as the ones in Part 1 and
Part 2) with who these youth are
and where they are from. 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 just keep on moving. This is more fun than
a video game.

any photo to enlarge.

From a Meridian reader (it's funny that I keep saying "a Meridian
reader." Would it possibly be from a "National Geographic
Reader" or some other publication? That is funny) "I
only recognize from R-L Rachel Beebe, Makela Green, Brittany Knudsen
and Kendal Thompson, all in the Wilton Ward, Elk Grove Stake."
From another reader: "The girl in the center with the
1,000 watt smile is Elizabeth Homen from the Sacramento Stake."
We know these youth are from the Sacramento and Elk Grove
Stakes. If you’ll identify the rest of the Irish dancers,
we’ll publish all their names. Click on the picture
to get a better view. Let’s not leave any out!

The
boy to the left is Davis Green from the Fair Oaks 5th Ward, Fair
Oaks Stake. The boy on the right in the blue shirt, suspenders
and hat is Calvin Millett, Folsom 3rd Ward, Fair Oaks Stake.
From a reader: "Photo # 23 is El Dorado Stake, the Carnival
number. I don't know the people in the forground, but the
boy in the green facing the other way is from Placerville Ward,
his name is Spencer Grossarth." One Meridian reader wrote in:
"I really don't know who the youth are, but my favorite is
to the right of center, near the top of the picture--Raggedy Ann."
Who is that young woman in the center, we still don't know?

Here we see the Mariachi
band and Maraca dancers from the Lodi and Stockton Stakes.
Aleen Knight is the violinist on the back row.
Behind
the pole on the far left side (red shoulder & orange flower
in her hair) is Victoria Oriheula, Mia Maid from the El Dorado
Ward, Stockton, Stake. In the Mariachi band holding the
guitar is someone Farrens from the Stockton Stake (don't
know first name). Maraca dancer 3rd from the right is someone
Buckland (also don't know first name), Stockton Stake. I
believe the Maraca dancer far right is Caitlin Dowell, Laurel
from the Stockton Stake. From the director/choreographer
of the 'California Fiesta' scene we go this note: "The
other Mariachi Band members pictured are from Stockton.
General Valejo, Eli Sutton, is sitting on the right and Roger
Taylor is the General's man behind him on the far right.
The other General's man is from Stockton."

Again,
youth are from Lodi and Stockton Stakes. One reader says,
"I think the puppet in the foreground is Noelle Anderson."
Another says, "Yes, the girl puppet IS Noelle Anderson."

Dylan Chantry; Timothy Stewart; Tyler
Haymore; (we know that Dylan and Tyler are in the Galt 2nd Ward,
Lodi Stake); young man in the center (highest) of the picture is
Matt Haggard of the Lodi Stake. Next one is Ryan Haggard and
the last is David Reher.

Part
of the California Mexican Fiesta, the young woman in the cream dress
with the red trim is Stephanie Pierce. The young woman in
the green dress is Chelsea Purcell, both of the Lodi Stake.
The young man with the rope is Luis Enrique Lopez from the Delta
Ward (Spanish speaking), Stockton California Stake. He actually
just moved here from Mexico just in time for the Celebration.
In Mexico practicing rope tricks is a popular activity for boys
to do during the day-just like video games are popular in America.

Says
one Meridian reader, "I think the very blond kid on the left
is Spencer Fogleman of Chico. I left a message on their machine."
The young woman in the center is Niki Brown, Paradise 2nd Ward,
Chico Stake. From a reader: "The tall, dark-haired
boy is Adam Voss (from the Chico 5th Ward who loves him)."

The smiling boy in the foreground is Richard Lao from the Table
Mountain Branch of the Gridley Stake. Thanks for helping on
this one!
