Like other Latter-day Saint boys, I received the Aaronic
Priesthood around my twelfth birthday.
Pappy ordained me a
deacon, as he did in all my Priesthood ordinations but
one*.
This is not my ordination certificate (I can’t seem
to lay my hands on it) but an “
Individual Aaronic Priesthood Award,” certifying that I did
what was expected of me, that first year of eligibility.
Note that Shirley Bogh
was bishop of the Third Ward
by the time (close to that of the
groundbreaking)
this was issued, with Rex Babb
and Rex Millett
(Gordon’s dad)
as counselors.
