Where Are They Now? — Kim Struthers

Wow, where has 20 years gone, and how do I summarize in not too many words what I have been doing all that time?

After graduation, I went to BYU as did so many others. After a year of college, I served a mission in the Buenos Aires South mission, which opened my eyes to the real world and made me thankful for peanut butter and carpeted floors. It was by far one of the best things I have done in the 20 years I am trying to account for. Following my mission, I went back to BYU and became an expert in changing majors (about 5 times). After I racked up about 110 credit hours, I decided it was time to pick whatever major there was that would take the least amount of time to graduate. I ended up with a degree in geography with an emphasis in urban planning. After a brief internship at Provo City, I took a job with Lehi City as a planner and 12 years later here I am living and working in Lehi!

As for the most important things in life, I met my wonderful wife Michelle Fraughton Struthers (an AF Caveman alumni) on a blind date arranged by another PHS alumni, Bill Bernardi. We were married just before I graduated from BYU in 1996 and now have 4 awesome kids, Ellie - 11 yrs., Katie - 9 yrs., Kaleb - 5 yrs., and Kaden - 4 yrs. Our family loves camping, hiking, running (especially trail running) and swimming. Running is what I had to do when I started feeling really old, that 30 something syndrome. I saw Dan Knight a year or two ago at a PG Strawberry Days 5K. As our latest adventure, we are signed up to run the Bryce Canyon 1/2 marathon this summer, and have also run in the Squaw Peak 50 Mile trail run. We love living in Lehi and being close to our families. I still hang out with Bill Bernardi (class of 89) and Peter Hewett on occasion and see some other familiar bulldog faces now and again, but I'm looking forward to the reunion and renewing some old friendships.
