The Bair’s naming tradition is simple starting with Black
Bair. Michael’s mother’s maiden name was
Black before she met his father (Michael says he got his father’s build and his
mother’s tender heart). Michael served
the Lord for two years in the California Oakland Mission, then attended BYU
where he played football (his claim to fame is that he showered with Steve
Young). He met and married Lori in his
junior year (she says she dated all of his roommates before attracting her
husband’s attention). After graduation,
he accepted a job teaching health and drivers education at Dixie High School
where he has worked since 1992.
Currently he is the Vice Principal and Athletic Director.
Lori was born on a Navajo reservation. The Catholic nuns at the hospital knew her family was
LDS, so baptized her as a newborn. "I guess they wanted to save my soul, so I’m double covered!” she
laughs. She attended BYU-Idaho when it
was still Ricks College (“it will always be Ricks to me”), then studied two
months at the MTC before serving 10 months of her mission for the deaf in the
Florida Tallahassee Mission and another 6 months in the California Anaheim Mission. After her mission, she worked for ten years
as an interpreter but now works part
time at SkyWest. The first counselor in
the B7 Young Women’s Program says she has been in YW “forever” while
Michael has served as Gospel Doctrine teacher, High Priest Group Leader and a
ward clerk. Currently he is the priest
quorum advisor.
Welcome to the ward, Bairs … one and all!
