When Karl and Dee were first married, Karl was an underground, hard rock miner in Lark, Utah. He worked many years there until the mine was shut down. He then found a job as a mechanic in Orem, Utah and also for Lehi City. He was a great mechanic, and soon obtained a more lucrative job as a truck driver with Dan M. Ogden Trucking; where he was employed the rest of his working life.
He enjoyed hunting, fishing and camping. He spent many wonderful days with his best friend and brother-in-law, Clifford Lee. Along with Cliff...Karl and his sweetheart, Delila went camping every July for the whole month. Many other family members joined them when they could...it was an outing the whole family looked forward to.
