Ashworth family and Al Gaudio. Ashworth, a local attorney, owns one of the nation's largest private historical collections. Ashworth is the museum's director and curator. His family has been collecting Scouting memorabilia since 1913. The highlight of his scouting career, however, has been that his seven sons have become Eagle Scouts. Some know him for his collecting and sharing experiences with church historical documents. He says he is most proud of his wonderful wife and eternal companion, Charlene Mills Ashworth and their great family. Brent Ashworth is a member of the Provo Landmarks Commission, and great-nephew of Claude Ashworth, who designed St. Francis of Assisi Catholic church in Provo, which was torn down on July 9, 2007. The destruction came as an "absolute shock", said Brent. "It's a total shock. It seems like a death in the family," said Ashworth, who also owns B. Ashworth's Rare Books in downtown Provo. "The Catholic Church wanted the Landmarks Commission to remove the historic landmark designation, but we voted that down. But the Provo Municipal Council cut a deal with the developer." @2010 ~ ~ ~ ~ "Show & Tell: A Unique Journey Through History From the Life of Brent Ashworth", by Traci Fieldsted.

Ashworth (BYH Class of 1946) (Rachel). ~ ~ ~ ~ BYU 1950. Licensed nuclear engineer. "I worked most of my 43-year career in advanced energy, 21 years of it as supervising engineer over advanced engineering at a large San Francisco-based energy company. We built and operated for 1,000 hours a 100-kilowatt pilot fuel cell power plant with financial support from the Electric Power Research Institute. The company also operated for several years a fuel cell power plant of a different type that supplied power to San Francisco's city offices. I evaluated, with our natural gas vice president, an opportunity to take the company into the hydrogen pipeline business. We did conception work and evaluations of fuel cells and hydrogen many times. Based on experience, the technical and economic challenges and problems of creating a viable system of hydrogen production, delivery, vehicle storage, fuel cell vehicle propulsion and safety are formidable. They are individually unsolved and collectively may be unsolvable without as-yet-unknown major breakthroughs. Another big clincher against this system being viable any time soon is the false justification for it. It is claimed to replace our dependence on fossil fuels. But fossil fuels are currently the only source of hydrogen that might possibly make the system viable. Making nonfossil-fuel-based hydrogen sources comparably attractive is as unsolved and collectively unsolvable as the hydrogen vehicle system itself. I think the hydrogen vehicle idea is a pipe dream that has to be played out for political reasons alone." ~ ~ Clinton Paul Ashworth (@March7, 2003) ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Clinton Paul Ashworth, 80, passed away Sunday, May 17, 2009, due to complications of cancer.
