This picture was taken in June of 1952. Pres. McKay was returning to the US after making a tour of Europe and stopped off in Glasgow on his way to Prestwick Airport . He invited me and my companion and two lady missionaries to have dinner with him and sister McKay at the Glasgow Central Hotel. I had just been appointed District President of Scotland–a position Pres. McKay held fifty years before. He was the essence of courtesy and courtly manners.
What were some of your responsibilites as District President of Scotland?
ReplyDeleteWas returning to Scotland as a missionary an exciting prospect for you or were you hoping to go somewhere new or more exotic? How did you feel about "the old country" at that point, since you knew you wouldn't have to live there when you were done?
