Mission reunion



Went to a reunion of our missionaries last a couple weeks ago down in Pleasant grove. It was in honor or our mission pres's 90th birthday. And yes, he was there! Alive! Quite a man in many ways. He retired from head of the California Collage system to go and be a mission pres in 1976. A more influential person in my life I don't think there's been. The fellow missionary that organized this was one of my last companions. He's wheelchair bound now, due to muscular dystrophy. He was diagnosed at a very early age, and the doctors told his folks he wouldn't live past his early teens. He fooled them! Another great person in my life. All his friends affectionly call him the Energizer Bunny.

Holy smokes Mr. Energizer looks GREAT! He doesn't look any older than the last time I saw him!
