Commemorating the 70th episode of NOT FORGOTTEN, the podcast's founder, Brittany Booth Fonnesbeck, interviews host Lyman Hafen as he bows out of the program to take on his new calling as president of the St. George Temple.

Lyman sits down with Deborah Wirth who moved to St. George as a young mother, raised her children here, and connected to a community and a special spirit that have blessed her life. 

Lyman leads boyhood friends Bruce Hurst and Ashley Empey back 40 years to the 1986 World Series when Bruce went to the mound as the starting pitcher for the Boston Red Sox in three games against the New York Mets. Then back 60 years to the time when these two boys became friends and played catch on the sandlots on the southern edge of St. George.

Lyman is joined by St. George's own Dalli Holyoake as she shares her deep Dixie roots and how her love of horses has led to her becoming one of the top cowgirls in America.

St. George auto dealer Stephen Wade shares the story of how his family "came to Dixie," and the difference that decision made in their lives.

Lyman is joined by Dixie College alums Bonnie Moore and Ernie Doose whose lives were changed by Roene DiFiore and the legendary institution she established known as Program Bureau. You'll want to listen all the way to the end, the very end.

Lyman recreates in the studio the talk he gave at the 40th Annual Juanita Brooks Lecture Series in the St. George Tabernacle on April 17, 2026. Incorporating memories of places and people in Utah's Dixie he expresses how a sense of place and a sense of story combine to form a sense of purpose. 

Lyman is joined by Gary Caldwell, conductor of St. George's Southwest Symphony for 26 years, current conductor Lucas Darger, and Debbie Hafen, who has played violin in the symphony for more than four decades. They share the story of this beloved institution that grew out of the Dixie Spirit.

Lyman circles back to the good old days of his youth sharing memories and writings about Boots Cox's Dairy, the old A&W, and Jim's Market.

Lyman welcomes Steve Hunt into the studio to talk about his hometown of Enterprise, its history, its unique qualities, what it was like to grow up there, and how the spirit of the community ties in to the Dixie Spirit.
