McAllister, who was later the President of the New York Stake and the local impetus behind the Church’s exhibit at the New York World’s Fair in 1964.

Bet she isn’t the only one.

Bennett who conducted the meeting was the same person who later became a senator from Utah and was the father of Bob Bennett another senator from Utah??

Despite the occasional oddity (a quote from Napolean?), the overall flow of the production was very well-done. Good work.

(Based on the date of the broadcast, it’s not too much of a stretch to presume that Gordon B. Hinckley might had some involvement in this piece. Wikipedia says Hinckley was employed upon his return from his mission in 1935 by the Church’s “Radio, Publicity and Missionary Literature Committee,” and by 1937 was serving on the Sunday School General Board.)
