Journal June 5, 1963

Elder Bob Guymon, Josette Leroy, Georgette Leroy, Elder Dave Halliday, Jean-Pierre Leroy, and Hubert Leroy.
June 5 (continued)—…Monday morning, President Hinckley called Maman into his office and arranged for Hubert to be called on a labor mission, like Claude’s! He’ll go to Bordeaux in a couple of weeks to start the work on the chapel there, for which ground is being broken this weekend. This is most awfully exciting: my second labor missionary! And the second ever to come from Bretagne!

More joyous tidings: Lynn Bennion, my old comrade from Cambridge, Salt Lake, and Rennes, has just been called as President Hinckley’s second counselor, to fill the gap occasioned by the release of old Dartboard George Skidmore.1 This should have some interesting results.
1Wouldn’t want you to misconstrue this reference as any indication of disrespect or dislike for Elder Skidmore. He was (and is still) a very fine fellow, and we regarded him highly. But the guy who had to implement missionary transfers inherited some inevitable reputational fallout from us on the receiving end of those mysterious and unpredictable operations.
