President David O. McKay's son dies
President David O. McKay's penultimate ("second to the last"--one of my favorite words) surviving child, Edward Riggs McKay, passed away on September 5 at the age of 93. President McKay was the prophet of my youth. He died in 1970 at the age of 96, after serving as president of the Church for 19 years. When he died, there were almost 3 million members of the Church, and half of them had never known any other prophet.

Ryan bought my wedding ring from his son Bob McKay at McKay's on Main Street. I also bought Ryan his wedding band from Bob, but he lost it after just a couple of months.
When I was in the MTC studying Portugese, they were very impressed that I could quickly answer what penultimo meant. I thought it was pretty straight forward. They asked me how I knew. Hello? Penultimate measure of a song? I guess my time in Choir taught me a lot. Great to see that you have a blog.
