[...] this facilitation might be considered “formal” church relief efforts, but it’s not the Relief Society sending trainloads of flour to San Francisco in 1906, or the church airlifting supplies to Honduras after Mitch, or Area [...]

I also wonder if Wilson further wanted to meet her because of her work with the Women movement during the 19th century and the Exponent. What with the pressure in that period for Woman’s Suffrage growing it might have been part of his concern but one can never know really.

Fascinating stuff as always Ardis.

Hey, Mark, it was so cold here last night that I saw a lawyer with his hands in his own pockets. (I don’t know how to do a cat smiley)

You didn’t run across that in the church archives! Well, I have a life, after all! 8)

Taping Bacon to the Cat? You didn’t run across that in the church archives!

However, I loved this comment:

Next up in the kitchen: taping buttered toast to the cat’s back and re-conducting the old experiments on whether the toast-always-landing-butter-side-down effect is balanced by the cat-always-landing-on-its-feet effect.

We are not responsible if this rips a hole in the space-time continuum.

Great post, as usual, Ardis.

As to your link to men whom you can respect . . . I’m sorry that I’ll never earn it.

Nor will I make the changes necessary in my life to deserve it.

Sorry, Ardis.

On the other hand, I’ve thought of taping other things to cats. But, lest you be offended, I won’t mention what.

This is absolutely wonderful, Ardis. The mental image this gave me was powerful.
