Two solemn assemblies with the Brethren BYU faculty, father of 5 amazing people.

Standard story for small town mormon boy who as a deacon collecting fast offerings discovered there was a non member living in our ward. I was amazed. I had 4 years of released time seminary, mission interview by Assistant Apostle Packer in 1962, mission to Mississippi where we were told not to contact the Negro. I read the multiple volumes of the History of the Church by Joseph Smith, back when elders could do a lot of interesting things. BYU faculty interview by Apostle Stapley in 1977. Salt Lake temple marriage, Branch president in Nebraska, high council in Flagstaff, bishopric in Cache Valley. Then I read the other side of church history and was amazed at what I did not know. When I watched The Ascent of Man by Jacob Brownowski I realized that truth cannot be dictated but must always be challenged when h said "Think it possible you may be mistaken."
