Leonor Castillo is a woman of quiet strength, a positive outlook on life, and deep faith. Born in Laredo, Texas in 1924, she grew up one of twelve children in a house she still describes as beautiful. When she was only twelve years old, her father passed away and her mother left, which led her to be raised by her grandmother and aunts in San Antonio.

She married Salvador Castillo, her teenage sweetheart, in 1946, and together they raised five wonderful children. She has accomplished many amazing things in her life, including getting her driver's license at the age of sixty-four years old. She is known for her faith, her independence, and the fierce love she has for her family.

Ed and Ruby Reed have been side by side since the eleventh grade, and more than sixty years later, they're still having a good time. Both grew up in rural Southern California, where hard work was a given and families made their own fun.

Ed spent much of his boyhood in the high desert, hauling water, milking goats, and learning everything he could from a dad who could fix just about anything. Ruby, the daughter of Oklahoma parents who came west after the Dust Bowl, grew up in Imperial Beach, where she twirled a baton and caught the eye of a boy who worked at the grocery store.

The two married in 1961 while Ed was in the Air Force. In California, they raised their two amazing daughters Holly and Darla, and filled their years with camping trips, dancing, and good friends. Through great joy and real heartache, they've always kept things in perspective.

Becky Benson Smith grew up on a farm in Carey, Idaho, with three older siblings and a little sister in a family devoted to the Lord and to His gospel. As a teenager, her family was sent on a mission to Düsseldorf, Germany, where she had wonderful experiences and even met her future husband, Steve Smith.

The two got together while attending BYU, and they raised four amazing kids, Todd, Kim, Matt, and Jared. Together, they have worked hard, traveled all over the world, and served three missions to Moscow, Siberia, and Nauvoo. Becky and Steve have raised a tight-knit, righteous family anchored in their faith in Jesus Christ. And every summer, their family gathers at their cabin in McCall, which they built to bring their clan together.
