2020 Levan Town Grand Marshal
Paul Mangelson
Paul V. Mangelson was born in Levan at the home of Leah Bosh, the town mid-wife, on March 19, 1943. The only son of Vern and Vivian Mangelson, Paul learned the value of hard-work working alongside his parents on the family farm. They raised pigs, milk-cows and eventually purebred polled Hereford cattle. Paul also stocked the shelves of the family store, Vern’s Store, where their slogan was: “We sell most everything.” Paul delivered the store’s weekly ad on horseback to all the people of the town. Paul attended Levan School through the 9th grade and then Juab High School where he graduated in 1961.
After graduation, Paul attended the University of Utah and Utah Barber College. In 1964 he enlisted in the Utah National Guard and completed boot camp in Fort Polk, Louisiana. In 1967, Paul was hired by the Utah Highway Patrol and completed 14-weeks of training at Camp Williams Police Academy. His first post with the UHP was in Monticello, Utah at the Port of Entry. He was then transferred to Gunnison, and finally Juab County where he became Sergeant. In his 40 years with the UHP, Paul gained a reputation for having a special instinct for getting drugs off the road and out of the market. Paul arrested thousands of people and seized thousands of pounds of drugs. Paul made hundreds of felony drug arrests and recovered over one hundred stolen vehicles.
Paul served on the Levan Town Council. He headed up many projects to beautify Levan, including planting trees at the cemetery and the church and constructing the new bowrey at the Levan Park. Paul currently records the weather for Levan for the National Weather Service.
Paul married Sandra Jackson and together they raised 6 children in Levan, 5 daughters and 1 son. Paul has 20 grandchildren, 6 great-grandchildren with one on the way. Paul enjoys gardening, playing chess with his grandkids and hunting for golf balls.
As a life-long resident of Levan, Paul is honored to be the Grand Marshal of the 24th of July parade.
