My Nauvoo connections continue. I was driving home from a site and noticed Frank King by the Mercantile store reading a placque. So I pulled over to say hello and find out what brought him to Nauvoo! Frank and I were in OCMCO (now Millennial Choirs & Orchestra) and he was a long way from home in CA/AZ. Frank is also married to LeAnn Call King -- the daughter of my dear friends, RL (deceased) and Leona Call in Huntington Beach, CA. Turns out they were here in Nauvoo with LeAnn's sister Jeannette and her husband to see the church sites. So here we are inside of Zion's Mercantile store!

These are visitors, Wally & Marsha Marquardt, that came to Nauvoo all the way from Seattle, WA. They said that "seeing where it all began (meaning The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) is exciting and the feeling of the unity of the early Saints is tangible. We can feel the intensity of their comittment."
