Pearl Meacham going strong at 88.

This is a clipping from the Provo Newspaper with Pearl in the front. She does Ti Chi three days a week and hates to miss this time. She also enjoys many nice gatherings and dinners at the Eldridge Center in Provo, Utah. She is a daughter in law to Sylvia Doak and Merritt Meacham. She enjoys her grandchildren (about 25 of them). Also she has about 58 great grandchildren. Living in Provo has given her the opportunity to know many of the grandchildren who have attended Brigham Young University. For the last 20 years she has nearly always had at least one grandchild who visits her. She is a source of stability and love to them. Her son Douglas Meacham lives close and she can enjoy many special occasions in Doug and Trudy's home. She keeps healthy by taking on her mother in law's tradition of studying health and trying to apply what she has learned.
