  1. I’m so happy you found this! I just checked Family Search and George H. Brimhall was Thomas Mckay’s father-in-law (who was my great-great grandpa). So fun to discover this little bit of family history.

  3. Thomas E. was President McKay’s brother as well and one of the 1st Assistant’s to the Twelve called in 1941

  4. I agree with Ardis, it is fun to see a Keepa make a connection to someone Ardis writes about, even if I am not the one with the connection.

  5. And, as a bonus, try singing this to the tune of “I’ll Go Where You Want Me to Go, Dear Lord”. What fun!

    I have several old Christmas postcards. They were more economical than fancier cards tucked in envelopes and only took a penny for postage.
