R. Larry Ashton

Larry Ashton ’70 is an active and notable alumnus of the Class of 1970. An avid Peccary Man and great enthusiast of Ray Alf, Larry first met Ray when his summer peccary trip groups would shop at the Ashton store in Vernal, Utah. These meetings led the Ashtons to send their two boys, Larry ’70 and Michael ’67, to Webb. Larry joined the Alf Museum board in 1999 and was elected chairman in 2002. As chairman, there is never a moment when Larry is not promoting the museum. He has shepherded the Alf Museum through national re-accreditation, major exhibit hall renovations, and capital campaigns. He is also a member of the Webb Board of Trustees.

After graduating from Webb, Larry received his B.A. and MBA from the University of Utah. He is manager of Ashton Family, LLC in Salt Lake City, Utah. He and his wife, Alicia, are stalwart supporters of the museum and the schools and work tirelessly on behalf of both.
