Scope and Contents

Wyckroff (b. 1938), a gynecologist, has been an active leader at the St. Jude's Episcopalian Church in Cedar City since 1978. She is a graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles and Irvine. As the church approaches its 25th Anniversary, she discusses some of her early memories. The church grew from a Morning Prayer group that met in the Jim Mittenzwei home. They grew the church mostly without outside help. In 1981 they moved into a storefront location. It was at this location that the church was named St. Jude's. The congregation was very close. The storefront was sold, and they met in a house off of 100 West, but the house burned down, destroying the records. A photo album and collection of newspapers clippings is also missing. She mentions Ron Belnap, Winchell, Jackie Witherspoon, and George Bates. She discusses living in a Mormon community. She left in 1990 and went to South Dakota to practice medicine.
