I got my Dad’s story scanned in last night. When I handed it off to Jeff to see if it could be done on the scanner at work, I questioned why I did not just scan it in at my parents' place. My mother has an awesome OCR scanner.
I wasn’t expecting Jeff to scan it at home, but that was really nice of him. I also wonder if he read the story too. Gary wanted to read it, and I’m sure Todd would too had I told him about it.
Right away Gary noted the part about:
On one occasion Rosco had noticed that I was reading the Book of Mormon and of course asked me if I was a Mormon, I told him that I was and then asked him if he wanted to know about the church. He answered that he did and I was delighted to be able to do a little missionary work. His first question, which did not really surprise me, was about the Negro policy of the church.
I figure my Dad was talking about how prior to 1978 not all worthy males could hold the Priesthood. I’m not sure what the reasoning was for that, but it seems pretty lame now when you consider that there are more members outside the United States.
