Today is Elder Richard G. Scott’s 86th birthday! Here are some things you may or may not have known about this remarkable man. • Was my Dad’s mission companion in Uruguay back in the early 1950s. When introduced to my little boys, he shook their hands and sincerely told them that their Grandfather was a great missionary. So kind.
• His father worked for Ezra Taft Benson in the US Department of Agriculture, which led to his dad’s eventual conversion to the church.
• President Benson would later call Richard G. Scott to be an Apostle in 1988.
• Was a Drum Major in High School.
