1 year old in 1953, wearing a rumper, not a dress !
As I turn 72 today, I look back at 12 segments that have fashioned my life from birth until today. I thank God for my family and the many families that have enriched my life over the years. I have lived through many experiences mentioned in yesterday’s post on the Priesthood, and pray that I will continue to help all those who need my help.
