President Hinckley is patient with all the photographers who are constantly taking his picture. He did say to us one time, in a quiet tone, that "if all the cameras in the world were thrown into the ocean, there would be a great flood." Kirtland Temple.



Who can resist President Gordon B. Hinckley's warmth?

No one could keep their eyes off of them. Their warmth was infectious.
Their kind waves of the hand always made everyone feel loved.

These two are love birds, no less. Kirtland, Ohio.



I'll never forget when President Hinckley invited his precious wife to the stand in Moscow and introduced her to the 2,000 present as his "Babushka.''
