8-year-old Boy Reflects on Shaking President Monson's Hand at General Conference

Stockton Cram may have been the most popular little boy among the LDS community after the Saturday afternoon session of the 183rd Semiannual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Oct. 5, 2013. It was the night after 8-year-old Stockton had the opportunity to shake the hand of president of the LDS Church, Thomas S. Monson, that he asked his mom, Cristy Cram, this very question.

"He was very excited," Cristy said. "We had seen the post everywhere. In fact, that night he said, 'Mom, am I the most famous little boy today?' And I said, 'Well, maybe in the LDS world you are.'"
