Back in the days when
Mrs. Schwartz was being
paid for her work, she was
employed by the Sandy
E lem entary
School
as '
manager of the lunch |
program. Her first big labor
of love after retirement was
the com pilation of the
"Sandy Pioneers" book with
Elizabeth Hartman.
"That project was really a
fascinating one for me,” she
said. " I was able to use my
interest in historical things
and to revive friendships
from my girlhood in Sandy.
It was very rewarding.”
Mrs. Schwartz grew up on
the property on which she
now lives. “ I’ve never really
moved in my life, although
my address has changed five

Marie Schwartz loves to
take notes “ All my life, I ’ve
enjoyed writing things out by
hand. “ I lik e to record
things Some of my notes are
over 50 years old ”
She is a natural secretary,
and serves in that capacity
with several organizations to
which she belongs And she is
likely to be remembered in
future years for a two-year
recording and com piling
project for which she was a
prime mover: the production
of "Sandy Pioneers, Early
Settlers and Barlow Road
D ays’’
But with the completion of
that book in 1973 for Sandy’s
centennial, Mrs Schwartz
didn’t stop writing things
down. She keeps personal
scrapbooks and serves as co
editor for the Sandy Senior
Center newsletter. She is
secretary to both the Senior
Center’s advisory committee
and the “ Loves and Fishes’’
p ro g ra m ’s steering com
mittee. ‘‘ It seems as if I ’m
w ritin g
things
down
everywhere I go," she said.
Mrs. Schwartz has other
volunteer activities which
don’t involve words. She and
her husband deliver "Meals
on Wheels" two days a
month, and she serves as
treasurer for the Sandy
Pioneer Association.
None of these projects
have earned Mrs. Schwartz a
profit or wages; even the
compilation of the historical
book was a volunteer effort.
Her labors earned her the
award for Outstanding RSVP
Volunteer of the Year for the
Sandy area in 1977.
She
donated
ap
proximately 300 hours last
year as a volunteer with the
R etired Senior Volunteer
Program and spent countless
other hours on the telephone
gathering inform a tion fo r
her various projects.
“ I ’m not sure why I get
involved in so many ac
tivities. I guess I never
learned to say ‘no’,’’ she
joked. "B ut really, after my
retirement I saw so many
things that needed doing and
I had the time to do them. I
felt obligated to help."

'J
times,” she said with a
chuckle, referring to postal
reorganizations which have
affected her mailing ad
dress
"When I first heard that a
pioneer book was being
planned it was natural for me
to get involved because I ’ve
lived here all my life, I know
the other pioneer families
and I could help keep the
facts straight,” she com
mented
‘ Sandy Pioneers” was
sponsored by the city of
Sandy. The compilation was
undertaken in 1971 and
completed in 1973. " I f I had
to estimate the time I spent
on that project. I'd just say.
take two years times 24
hours a day’,” she joked.
Proceeds from the sale of the
book were donated by the
city to the Sandy Pioneer
Association.
It
is un
derstandable that Mrs Sch
wartz, as treasurer of that
group, is very protective of
the funds brought in by the
book. " I want to make sure
they are used for something
which w ill advance the
Pioneer Association," she
said.
The urge to record events
is a trait that was passed
from mother to daughter for
at least three generations,
according to Mrs. Schwartz
"M y mother always took
notes,” she said, "and my
grandmother wrote us very
detailed letters of her daily
activities Each letter would
read, ‘I washed Monday and
ironed Tuesday...’ It got so
we children could read the
letters w ithout opening
them ”
Mrs. Schwartz has saved a
lifetim e’s worth of notes,
letters and clippings " I have
every report card I was
given, and I ’ve kept my first
grade reader," she said.
" I ’m so glad we’ve never
had a fire,” she continued.
"So many people lose things
and I ’m grateful I could keep
mine I've got a bad case of
sentimentality.”
