Background

Background Note

Judith (Judy) Adair grew up in Colombia and Venezuela, but came to Salt Lake City for the first time with her parents in 1950. Her early junior high years were disjointed, as she moved with her family back and forth between Salt Lake City and Venezuela as her father finished work obligations overseas. Eventually the family permanently settled in Salt Lake City.

Adair was active in many organizations at Horace Mann Junior High School, Irving Junior High School, and South High School. She was a member of the International Order of Job's Daughters, Bethel No. 1, and her high school activities included the following:

Student Affairs (1953-1955)
House of Delegates (1955)
Pep Club (1954)
Social Dance Club
Spanish Club President
Roller Skating Club
Social Arts Club
Bowling Club
Christmas Dance (1953-1954)
Southerner Ad Staff (1955)
Scribe Staff
School Play (1955)

Soon after graduation from South High School in 1955, Adair left Salt Lake City to attend college in Denver and New York City.
