Carling Dorr Allen

To the wonderful Allen family. I was only 10 when your family moved into our neighborhood and ward in Orem. Every one of you, both parent and children have been wonderful examples to me during my life. Your examples have helped sculpt my ideas of what a great family should be. I always thought that Brother Allen was a quiet, stablizing influence in the community. When the song by Dan Fogelburg, "Leader of the Band" plays on the radio for some reason I think of Brother Allen. He brought the...

Dear Carma & Family: Have so many wonderful memories of Carling and his family.

Mr. Allen's Family:
When your husband/father/grandfather taught me in school, they were called "Mr." so I always think of him as "Mr. Allen". He was a very nice man and a wonderful music teacher. When I sit in church and watch people lead the singing and they don't have a clue, I think to myself "Obviously they didn't have Mr. Allen to teach them the proper way to lead music." My many years in band were a wonderful experience, and even though I wasn't much of a musician, I gained much...
