He was the third child of Wilford E. Smith and Ruth Christensen Smith. He was an eager friend and motivated learner from his early years, involved in sports and student government. Sherm, his dad and three brothers (and their "extra" little brother, Gifford Nielsen) were always ready for a pick-up game of ball in the Smith family backyard. He loved his time as co-captain of the football team and as Student Body President at BY High School. From 1967-1970, he served an LDS mission to the Central German mission, where he began his lifelong love for the German language, the food, and the people. Sherm graduated from BYU (true blue through and through) with a degree in German Literature. The highlight of his time at BYU was falling in love with his blue-eyed Bobbi Aboe. They were sealed for time and all eternity in the Los Angeles Temple on July 20th, 1972. Sherm immediately began medical school at the University of Utah. After graduation, Sherm, Bobbi, little Cecily and baby Tye moved to Denver, Colorado for internship and General Surgery residency at Fitzsimons Army Medical Center. They had another daughter, Carrie, and in July of 1981, they moved their family to Frankfurt, Germany where Sherm served as an active duty surgeon at the Frankfurt Army Medical Center. With a Vanagon camper, they took advantage of the time they finally had together to travel, and found that Europe became a beloved second home. What an adventure for their little family, and new baby Heidi. They returned to Salt Lake City and Sherm set up practice at Memorial Medical Center. They welcomed their fifth and final child, Marshall, in 1987. In December of 1990, his Army Reserve unit was activated during the Gulf War, and he was stationed in Frankfurt again.

Smoot, Abraham O. [ I ]
Provo, Utah US

Abraham [and 5] Smoot [ I ]

First President of the Board of Trustees of Brigham Young Academy in Provo, Utah. Abraham Owen Smoot I. Served on Board of Trustees, 1875 to 1895. Honorary Alumnus of BYH. Born: 17 February 1815 in Owenton, Kentucky, to Ann Rowlett and George W. Smoot. Wives: Margaret Thompson McMeans Adkinson, Emily Harris, Sarah Gibbons (div.), Diana Tanner Eldredge, and Anna Kirstine Mouritsen, all married before he became Mayor of Salt Lake City. In the 19th century, Abraham O. Smoot's visionary leadership and personal financial sacrifice maintained the viability of Brigham Young Academy. "My great grandfather, A.O. Smoot, was known as the 'foster father' of Brigham Young Academy because of his devotion to the school and it was one of his most memorable experiences," said Stanley Smoot, his great-grandson. Smoot, Abraham Owen (1815-1895) -- also known as Abraham O. Smoot; A. O. Smoot -- of Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Utah; Provo, Utah County, Utah. Nephew of Daniel Rowlett and Joseph Rowlett; father of Abraham Owen Smoot II (1856-1911) and Reed Smoot; grandfather of Abraham Owen Smoot III and Isaac Albert Smoot. Born in Owen County, Ky., February 17, 1815. Mayor of Salt Lake City, Utah, 1857-66; mayor of Provo, Utah, 1868-81. Mormon. Died in Provo, Utah County, Utah, March 6, 1895. Abraham Owen Smoot I, was sent to Provo by Brigham Young in 1868, where he presided over the Utah Stake (all of Utah Valley) for 27 years until his death in 1895. He was also the first President of the Board of Trustees of the Brigham Young Academy (1875-1895) and is still the longest standing mayor of Provo. Despite steady growth during its early years, Brigham Young Academy was threatened by a series of financial and physical setbacks. With the help and sacrifice of Abraham O. Smoot I, the campus moved in 1891 to new facilities located on University Avenue. Abraham O. Smoot I, a highly successful businessman, stake president, mayor of Provo, and chairman of the board of Brigham Young Academy, gave his buildings, his land, and mortgaged his home in order to save the institution. He died penniless, having given everything to the school. A. O. Smoot I, in summary, was a dominant figure in the history of Provo and the state of Utah. He was described by his son-in-law, Orson F. Whitney, as "colonizer, financier, civic officer, legislator, missionary, Bishop and Stake President, who frequently sat with the leaders of the Latter-Day Saint Church."
