Thomas S. Monson’s plane-flight story of carrying a 1939 photograph of a German family my father hoped to identify

My photo journaling, a rather lazy, fun way


“Tell Me the Stories of Jesus”, Children’s Songbook p.57, a childhood favorite of mine in 20th Ward Primary, 2nd Avenue, SLC

“Book of Mormon Stories”, Children’s Songbook p.118, a favorite of kids these days


“True Storytelling is the act of entrepreneurship.”  — YouTube: What is …

My wife Kay’s biography published in 2024, full of fascinating true stories we love
