467. The Hill Cumorah Pageant, this week in New York. I was privileged to be in it in 1955, just before I was married.
I was privileged to be in the Hill Cumorah Pageant in 1955, just before I was married. I had gone to BYU the winter before, and had been writing to Wayne in the army. I signed up during the winter to go with the group from BYU to be among the group scenes. We were joined by the missionaries who were then in the Rochester, New York, mission. We spent one week on a bus driving back there, two weeks there, and one week driving back home. We didn't fly at that time, as people do now. The Hill Cumorah as it probably was in 1800's. Taken in 1910. While there for 2 weeks, we learned missionary lessons so we could go among the crowds who came to the Pageant and talk as missionaries. I was in a group that stayed at the Joseph Smith Farm Home. The night before we left on June 28th, Wayne proposed to me, and gave me a diamond ring. He had come home from the army on July 4th, and we had been writing for 14 months and become quite well acquainted through letters. Du
