You are right, John — that breaks my heart. On the other hand, I’m cheered by the “little guy” who broke the case.

Thanks for that link. It has a real connection to this. Although I don’t think any recordings were made of these broadcasts, so many other precious materials, including sound recordings have been entrusted to the church archivists. I hope that trust is better placed than that in your story.

Somewhat connected, but mostly off-topic, here is a story about thefts from the National Archive by the head of the video and audio branch that will break Ardis’ heart.

The early temples had choirs that sang both for chapel services before endowment sessions, and also as a part of an earlier version of the endowment. I’m guessing this was the SLTemple choir.

Or maybe I’m over thinking and this was merely a forgotten local ward or private singing group that called themselves The Temple Singers.

Who were the Temple Singers?
