It is nice the Seastrands became church leaders I guess there is hope for the rest of us. I am sure they are top notch like their father. I am of the James E. Talmage school he and John Widtsoe got in a debate. Talmage said the nail print was still there and Widtsoe said it was not. Since I don't know you and just related my experience I am not going to edit one iota. I was as honest about him as about myself. I don't have a double standard.Dr. Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18061544604584544836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470536077683229440.post-39401893880008550942014-12-28T11:14:23.065-05:002014-12-28T11:14:23.065-05:00I found your comment regarding Scott's inabili...I found your comment regarding Scott's inability to baptize you very tasteless. If Scott wants this information about his past to be aired over the Internet, let him share it himself. Controversy for sake of more readership on your blog is not worth degrading a great man.

As to my rambling style that is just my way of therapeutically dealing with my past. Believe it or not hundreds of thousands of people read my blog. One liberal Mormon said Dr. B. might be whacked out but reading him is like crack candy. "I can't believe the General Authorities let him say what he does." The funny thing is that they do because for the most part I tell the truth and do a lot of good in my various projects from compiling the Teaching of Erza Taft Benson to working with hundreds of online missionaries.<br /><br />Like my good friend Reed Benson used to say when I worked with him for three years and someone would criticize him. "God bless you dear brother or sister."<br /><br />I wrote the piece on James K. Seastrand as a tribute to him for the influence he had on my life. It is not strictly a piece about him but his interacting with me. I still have a few pieces to write.<br /><br />As to whether or not I have any dirt on you as you think I am just in to that why didn't you sign your name at the end of the comment. When I worked with Elder Kikuchi on a book several years ago he used to say we need to walk in the light of the sun in our lives. I frankly don't like anonymous commentors but I will allow them to be posted. Controversy is good for getting a lot of readership. In a few more years I will pass the million hit mark which is pretty good results. <br /><br />Most of the North Las Vegas crowd have identified themselves here and on FB so why don't you.Dr. Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18061544604584544836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470536077683229440.post-77815645634316234632011-02-07T23:19:58.415-05:002011-02-07T23:19:58.415-05:00Frank Bruno you're killing me!

Those of us who grew up in the North Stake love him and his sweetheart. I still live in Vegas and get to visit with the sons from time to time. I spent my youth in the 7th and 13th ward. I am very familiar with those you have mentioned. I would have expected a little more discretion while rambling, uh, I mean reminiscing. Honestly my good friend you are not known for your subtleties, perhaps it’s one your endearing features. Good memories! I wish you well and hope you don’t write about me, as if you could find anything!

The funny thing was that Nick married Evelyn Mills. From 2002 to 2005 he was my bishop in Houston. He is a high powered lawyer making a half million a year with box seats to Astros, Rockets etc. My daughter even dated his son before her mission but that didn't work out. It is a small world and the North Las Vegas connection is alive in the world today.Dr. Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18061544604584544836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7470536077683229440.post-77621651369107564032008-06-10T08:01:00.000-04:002008-06-10T08:01:00.000-04:00Stephen: I went to Rancho H.S.

I grew up in the old Redrock Stake and the old West Stake (that soon became the Meadows Stake). In fact--half of the ballfields on Carey (Smoke Ranch and Jones) became my ward building in the early 90s. It was fun to hear the stories and memories from home, even if I am a bit younger than you.

I didn't realize that James K. Seastrand had died, my father liked him.<BR/><BR/>Time keeps flying along.<BR/><BR/>Did you go to Jim Bridger or Rancho?
