Tu tus and other little know facts



Did you know that my dad, Howard, was a ballerina? 
Here is the true story:

 Some of you may remember that years ago the Wards had to sponsor building funds to pay for the construction of a new chapel. It was during this time, in the late 30's or early 40's, that the ward High Priests were asked to be on a fund raising program. Someone came up with the idea of a ballet, so in proper(?) attire, the men of all sizes and shapes presented their number to a very appreciative crowd. They danced to a well know ballet number, sporting short tu tus, wearing garlands around their heads, waving dainty scarves, and sooner or later falling all over each other. Of course, it brought the house down, and I for one have never forgotten it!

  1. We are having a "Ward Variety Show" next month, and I so wish our high priests were this enterprising! It would be hilarious!!
