November 1999:
Bill Clinton was President; Bread was $.89 a loaf and gas was $1.22 per gallon!
We had one married child and one grandchild!
What a difference a decade makes!!
10 years ago this weekend, Dan was called to serve in our stake presidency. As he prepares to be released this weekend, we have been reminiscing about the years of his service and all the many hours of meetings attended (he's doing Temple Recommend interviews at the stake center right now!), the many talks given, and the many other experiences the calling entailed. Dan mentioned to me last night that he had served 1/4 of his adult life in this calling!
One of the wonderful opportunities was our trip to the Holy Land in 2006. At the Garden Tomb we took a picture of the stake presidency.
Obviously there are not many photos of him serving in the calling, but here is one someone snapped in 2004 when he was in charge of some things for the temple groundbreaking. He is inspecting the gold shovels:
He was first called as 2nd Counselor in the Fair Oaks Stake and then when our stake was reorganized in December 2006 (losing 4 wards and gaining 4 new wards) and we became the Folsom Stake, he was called as 1st Counselor.
Recently they had a professional photographer come to take a photo of the Stake Presidency and High Council. Unfortunately, the 2nd Counselor was out of town for a family emergency.
As I have witnessed it all first-hand, it has been an amazing decade of dedication!
