Particulars:  The Hill Cumorah Pageant is obvisously a welcome tourist activity in this area.  Although our hotel is over 30 miles from the Hill Cumorah, I was told by one of the hotel employees in charge of preparing our breakfast that this weekend is a particularly busy weekend because of the pageant.  Many of the hotel guests were there because of the pageant.  When I passed by one of the hotel meeting rooms, I noticed what looked like a Sacrament Meeting.  Could we have attended Church in our hotel that morning?

Lowell, Hannah and I attended church meetings in the Fairport Ward in Pittsford, New York.  It's been interesting to attend Gospel Doctrine week after week in a diffferent ward.  Each teacher has their own distinct style.  The teacher in the Fairport Ward used quite a bit of classical art in his lesson and since he teaches in the chapel and uses the large screen, his computer and a wireless microphone.

During the "Good News" section of Relief Society, one of the women mentioned that she had just met Donny Osmond and gave him a big hug.  Apparently he had snuck into our Sacrament Meeting, unnoticed by most who were in attendance.  Shoot, I could have told him that I met his youngest son while visiting Utrecht Ward.  Donny and Debbie's youngest was servigin his mission in The Netherlands.

A report from Kelly Thompson:  Susan B Anthony was one of seven kids. Born in 1820 and died in 1906, she lived through the Civil War and lots of other history. Rochester Cemetery.
