Tuesday morning, Sept 23, we checked out of our hotel in White River Junction and drove north the short distance to Sharon, Vt and the birthplace of the Prophet Joseph Smith.

This is a spot that is very special to us because we came here on our 35th Wedding Anniversary trip and back in 1960-62 I was privilaged to come here a number of times as a missionary of the New England States Mission to perform baptisms of new converts. All of our mission also gathered here for the dedication of the then, new Visitor's Center (the buildings you see in the foreground) performed by President Hugh B. Brown.

Linda can be seen in the left of center, walking and talking with our guide, Sister Slade. Sister Slade and her husband are serving a 6-month mission as guides at the Visitor's Center. They come from Star, Idaho and have family in the East Valley, Arizona. (This photo and note is out of sequence. It didn't transmit the first time I attempted to post it)
