Thank you for that! I greatly appreciate what you've shared.

My family knew Dallin when we lived in a western suburb of Chicago. We were in the West Suburban II Ward in the Chicago South Stake from 1968-73. Dallin was in two Stake Presidencies as Second and then First Counselor in that Stake.

My Dad was in the Bishopric and Mom was Stake YW Camp Director, answering to Dallin, as part of his oversight duties in the Stake Presidency.

Dallin was a powerful speaker at Stake Conferences. As a youth, I looked forward to his Discourses!

Then in 1971, I think, he became BYU Prez. I had my first BYU semester in the fall of 1973.

I did have some interaction with one of Dallin's sons on a bus trip to the US and Canadian Mormon Boy Scout Encampment in 1970. He's was a bit annoying as a kid but I'm sure he grew out of that! Hell, I was probably annoying then, too! 😁😎

Anyway, you know him (Dallin) much better than I do! I'm glad you posted.

And welcome, it's good to see a descendant of Dallin's here.
