Navarro from 1944 to 1946. He then served a LDS mission to the Northwest states in 1948 to 1950 and later in life a second mission with his wife to Australia. He was a meticulous book keeper, accountant, and trust officer for Tracy Collins Bank. As a numbers man he loved to watch the stock market and could always tell you how the Market was doing.
