Memory
An Letter of Appreciation
March 20, 1972
Dear Dr. Eyring:
I was in the audience last Saturday afternoon as you spoke to the prisoners, somewhat embarrassed at their lack of consideration but delighted with your humor in the situation.
I was in another audience at the Murray High School Seminary just about 10 years ago, and I never forgot the things you said about science and religion. I never told you of my personal appreciation for your willingness to talk to groups of this kind and offer your very special insights as a helpful guide in their lives.
My father said it was about 25 years ago that you spoke to his Sunday School class, an unforgettable experience in his life. He said he grew up with your wife and knew her in Granger, and she had arranged for you to visit.
But my life has been touched much for the better because of your willingness to talk about your knowledge and experiences in this life.
I watched for an opportunity to tell you this Saturday, but saw you were surrounded most of the time.
With appreciation,
